The filament I ordered arrived today, nicely sealed in plastic bags with a packet of silica gel dessicant inside the bag. I don't know if that is standard practice but it is a nice touch as the ABS is prone to absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
I connected two thermistors to the RAMPS board, although totally out of calibration it reads temperature (bed and hot end) and reacts when I hold the sensor between my fingers. Pronterface now runs the print (previously it aborted due to no temperature reading). Obviously the program waits for the heaters to reach temperature (not connected) but at least it tries...
As soon as the stepper driver boards arrive I will start testing the motors.
