After getting the printer fully assembled and playing with the extruder system to no end I finally have the machine working very reliably. Most of the troubles I encountered were due to the fact that I am using a sanguinololu board that won't quite support SD and LCD so much of the calibration was done differently.
Here's a quick video of the machine printing some upgrades for itself. Its currently going to reprint all the plastic parts for itself as it produces parts that put my thingomatic and mendel to shame :).

Once I got tired of printing calibration cubes and pyramids I gave the "Zombie Hunter" bust a try (file hosted on thingiverse). Turned out very well considering it was one of the first actual prints! Used the stock settings but lowered my temps down to about 175 as the hot end I'm using has a bit larger melt chamber then the J-Head.

Thanks to both Sublime and all the users on this board, I think I have read every thread over the last few months and it has been a wealth of indispensable information.
