Overview

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.

Slic3r Config

Cereally Automated Build System

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.
