My new Kossel is up and running! Finished it last night, cleaned up the wiring this morning. Prints great!
RepRap Mk2b dual voltage heater circuit board, reprap.org/wiki/PCB_Heatbed
For Replicator 1 firmware, the thermistor should have a beta(25/85) of about 4066K. For Replicator 2 and 2X firmware, a beta(25/85) of about 3974K. However, it's not critical: the deviations will likely be a fraction of a degree around 100C.
In this build, a thermistor from RioRand is used with a beta(25/50) of about 3950 is used. Available at Amazon as www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GD471PO/ref=oh_details_o03_s...
Z motor, lead screw, and acme nut from Kysan. Part number is 1040094. Requires more current than the normal Makerbot Z stepper motor. You should use a modified stepper driver.

14 wires total:
4 x stepper motor
2 x thermocouple
2 x heater core
2 x heatsink fan
2 x endstop switch (Common & NO contacts)
2 x print cooling fan
The X endstop switch (green & black wires, right edge of carriage) has only the common (C) and normally open (NO) contacts wired. These two wires will be routed back to a Makerbot v1.2 endstop PCB which has had its switch removed. REMOVE the switch from the PCB to prevent shorting the 5V and ground rails. Note that the normally closed (NC) contact is not wired. On the endstop PCB it is only used with the LED indicator circuit; it is not essential to the endstop's operation.
Note also that the endstop switch is here affixed with a wire tie. It is also possible to use two 2-56 bolts. The head of at least one bolt -- the one closest to the linear bearing -- must be on the underside of the carriage; otherwise, the bolt will interfere with the bearing.
This particular roller switch was purchased via Amazon, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052RTOTY/ref=oh_details_o07_s...
