I am retrofitting a Printrbot Simple Metal 3D printer with tools to allow for serialized printing. Then I hope to release the use of it to schools. For Free.

The testbed for train_rec was a success. Rather than use the length of the pop-bar as a lever to pry the piece off of the bed, I think its better to twist the bar along the length to push the 3d printed part up.
Milling the "production/testing" bed is next on the list.
Hardware Configuration
Current
- Killswitch, both remote and local
Planned
Immediate:
- Detect use of emg stop button in arduino
- Pop-bar and channel
- servo structure
- Removal arm. Can also double as print surface cleaner?
- New GT2 belt mount for print bed
Later:
- larger print surface to maximize hotplate use
- Longer steel rods
- more GT2 belt
- Print a GT2 belt clip? Zipties suck
- Better webcamera setup
- different embedded computer?
- Filament absence sensor
- Just look for the circuit completion when the extruder rollers connect?
- Birdsnest detection
- Print adhesion detection
- General failure detection
- Detect belt slipping?
- Use linear encoders? I mean, they really ought to be standard on a 3d printer.
- Heater dead-mans switch
- Ping the webpage?
- snoop on gcode over serial?
Printed Upgrades
Images incoming.
- Extruder Fan Duct
- Filament Guard
- Filament Clips
- Spool Stand
- Filament Cleaner
Upgrades to be printed:
- Fan mounts for motors
- GT2 belt mounts for print bed?

Parts
Amazon is an OK outlet for GT2 gear/belt parts for the X-Y motion
Source for 2-3mm Hex Bolts like those used in the simple metal
