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 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
