Information
- The 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
- The printer is controller with any PC attached to USB and using the Cura software.
- Use the lateste Cura and the "Printrbot simple 2014 maker edition" profile (see param)
Cura parameters
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 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
