All Parts Printed And Assembled To Check For Accuracy. Again, There's No License Required For This One.

Installed the new direct drive extruder and hot end onto the 3D printer and successfully tested the extrusion of filament. Now to start a print!

Finally figured out how to get guy's firmware to flash properly.

Got it updated and connected to my phone but it's the only one in the area. Need to build a mesh

I've removed the bottom left "shelf" that the radio sits against that blocks any wiring from the radio to the GPS. Hopefully, this will fix the issue with the radio not properly sitting in the frame. Keep in mind, if you aren't going to wire a GPS unit to the Heltec V3 then you'll not have to remove the "shelf"
