== Information ==
* BuyThe printer has been retired (went back to Rorist), thanks for the good care : )* Shop: http://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-simple/
* How-To: http://help.printrbot.com/c/2014_Printrbot_simple
* Calibrate: http://3.dmake.me/blog/2014/calibrate-3d-printer/
* It uses 1.75mm filament
* Print area is 100mm x 100mm x 100mm
== Software ==
* A RaspberryPi The printer is controller with any PC attached to our printrbotUSB and using the Cura software.* [http://octoprint.org/ OctoPrint] is accessible on port 80 locally on http://octopi.local/ to control Use the Simple* Give it a STL it slices using curalateste Cura and the "Printrbot simple 2014 maker edition" profile (see param)
== Running Cura parameters ==[[Image:simple1.png|x200px]][[Image:simple2.png|x200px]] == Running ==
* Check the Z level (going at the axe home), the head must slightly touch the bed and not pressing on it
* Check the filament freedom, as the simple doesn't have a spool holder
* '''Check X and Y rope tension''' == Calibration ==* It must be done once in a while* By manually going on each end X and Y, then homing Z. Always go up a little bit on Z before moving the head* Bed screws are now locked using some of those screw glue, so it should stay calibrated longer* Z end stop is glued, it was moving, Z axis should stay calibrated longer* There is a mechanical problem on the Y axis, to be calibrated the bed is not leveled compared to the ground, it's working though == Testing ==Interesting stuff to print for testing the quality and calibration * http://www.3dbenchy.com/* 5mm steps https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:24238* Single wall (0.4mm) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:271086* Overhang, bridges, holes and a lot of tests https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1363023
