A haiku to commemorate my Printrbot Simples’ short life:
Heating wires broke
Quiet anguish to my core
No more hot plastic
Remember kids: strain releif saves lives!
Am I seeing power leads broken off of the heater? That sucks, but yeah, PrintrBot should fix that.
Yeah, the leads snapped right off. I fired them off an email. Other than catastrophic failure the printer has been great.
Haha, I like that sentiment, very upbeat. “Other than the era ending, horrifying fireball of a crash, the Hindenberg was just great.”
@Stephen_Baird it didn’t burn down my house. So it wasn’t quite Hindenburg class failure 
First line is missing a syllable. If u add an ‘n’ to ‘broke’, it would fix it. As for the printr- youch.
@boog_nish I counted heating and wires as two syllables each
Hey, it’s great.( ‘Wires’ is one of those odd words that technically is only 1 syllable, yet often pronounced with 2.) I have a printrbot jr.
Always looking and open to info and conversation
Currently having issues trying to print glow in dark ‘creepers’ for gifts…
What kind of problems… did they start spawning and swarming you? ;D
I have some Glow blue which I have done okay with. It’s cheap stuff, but once I got the temps figured, it came out pretty good.
Heheheh. Sag and bulge, lowered temp and my extruder>speed>mm/m on repetier control panel. An did a 5 mm calibration steps. Then did each a little more for calibration print going currently. It is looking better though. Using reprapper glow blue. Current print @195c…
