I'm excited that I have finally assembled my 3D printer. Now comes the boring part of getting everything calibrated and working correctly. Hopefully it goes quick, because I really want to start printing!
Hi Dillon, this is an awesome guide! Can you re-create it on the official Printrbot Community Support Site - printrbot.dozuki.com.
ReplyDeleteBrook and his team are working hard to create step-by-step guides like this, but they could use more help.
Thanks!
It looks like you did a good job, I hope you have more luck than I've had calibrating as I can not get the extruder to move it says can't move with cold injector. I can't get the z axis to home it goes up about 10 mm when I try.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried a small print and the injector got hot by would not print and no way to read what tempature it was at.
