Update from he who feels like hammered sh...
I've taken the cutting board off the RepRap and given it a damn good sanding flat, checking it with a steel ruler like my old Design & Technology teacher showed me while I was busy wrecking his workshop. Adhesion improved, particularly for large areas. Not managed to print an X Motor Bracket properly yet.
The Y Bearing Housing I printed the other day broke when I put the insert in. I found that there is an area inside that gets no infill, and so the part is really fragile. I narrowed it down to a pretty damn minimalist debuggable shape and sent it to Adrian, the internationally famous geometry guru. A mere 8 points or 12 triangles.
Brain currently fried due to insomnia, my back is aching like hell through painkillers, and LinuxConf is less than a week away. Ohboy.

We put a sacrificial thin layer of MDF on the main base so we can easily swap it for a clean one.
Take it easy Vik...

This is my sacrificial sheet. I just ain't ready to sacrifice it yet :)
Will see if Doc has "take it easy" pills. Usually they're "take with water".

Sorry to hear you're having troubles, Vik. I'd sure like to get some loose time to work on Reprap. My day job, however, has been taking 16-18 hour days, 7 days/week since September.
As the Terminator said, "I need a holiday." It sounds like you do, too. :-(

Supplements, Vic, supplements. CoQ10 is great stuff for stamina and energy. And try melatonin for the insomnia, it works good half-hour before bed time or so.
I've got alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl carnatine supplements, normal multi-vitamins to counteract my beer-based diet (why are NZ multi-vitamins 10x the size of UK ones?) and some valerian for the insomnia. The cats go a bundle in the valerian too. After a while, they think the valerian lives in the teapot, and then wreck the teapot. It has got to the point where we bring a new one back from going on holiday.
