3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Make of Day; Safety Whistle. I had a request to make a loud safety whistle with my Printrbot simple with the Raspberry color PLA (I have had silver PLA for a week now and everyone just likes requesting this raspberry color PLA.). The whistle works like a charm and is very loud. Print details: material PLA, Layer height 0.2mm, 100mm/ minute 15 minutes print time and $0.04 material cost.

3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Monday, May 19, 2014. 3D printing with a barebones micro printer kit Intro. I been looking for a small micro size 3d printer since 2012.

http://3dprintkit.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-month-since-upgrading-printrbot-to.html
3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Monday, July 7, 2014. A month since upgrading Printrbot to 1405 version.

Micro 3D PrintR: Journey with Printrbot Simple takes turn for worst
http://3dprintkit.blogspot.com/2014/06/journey-with-printrbot-simple-takes.html
3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Thursday, June 19, 2014. Journey with Printrbot Simple takes turn for worst. The fan cord is also broken and finding a replacement seems impossible. Printrbot does not sell any single cords in there store. I search the web for fan cords with the same length and plugs jacks but can not locate any with this jack type. I sent in a support ticket to Printrbot but got a message that it would take 305 days. 305 days! That almost a year, are they insane? Step #1 calibr...

3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Sunday, June 1, 2014. Last week with printrbot; Extruder jams. The last week I ran into a on going issue with this printer. Jammed filament from a over heating extruder motor. I already dialed down the POT adjustment on the printer-board a month ago to as low as it can go. Added heat sinks to the motor and still am have a issue with this printer overheating on the extruder motor. This was the highlight of the week with my micro 3D printrbot printer. Not one ...

Micro 3D PrintR: Step #1 calibration time
http://3dprintkit.blogspot.com/2014/05/step-1-calibration-time.html
3D Printing with DIY Open Source Printers. Monday, May 19, 2014. Step #1 calibration time.

You need to heat the hot-end (extruder) to 196 Temperature and wait till it gets to 196 before you feed. (note the picture is not up to temp yet). Once your ready ...
