Just waiting on the speakers from China to progress!

One issue I am having is the Pi intermittently rebooting.
I've attached the Pi to the button pcb, and installed the battery monitor with the two wires to the gpio holes. All the soldering tests well for continuity.
So, I've connected a monitor, a keyboard and used a power supply connected to the micro USB plug.
It boots ok fully, but then reboots after about a minute or so.
I thought it must be a ground or power problem with the soldering, but as I've used a power supply with the micro USB port, I assume it can't be?

Probably a ground problem. Make sure to get the big battery monitor ground soldered good. This connection requires a bit more time and heat to get a goon connection.

Still struggling with my 3D prints :(
The thin bit on the left hand side of the screen bezel prints ok for about 4 or 5 layers, but then starts to curl up, & when I push it back down, it never goes to the right exact spot.
