Finally got around to installing the X and Z upgrades to my Printrbot Simple Metal. New build volume is 6x10x10. I also decided to throw on their new aluminum gear head extruder which I have to say has phenomenal grip. I’m just waiting for my new BuildTak sheets to arrive. I also had to make it its own table since it outgrew my desk. I plan to make an enclosure for the printer eventually. I had to flash the new firmware though and now my LCD won’t work and it seems like I’m not the only one with that problem.
Cool, Going to order that gear. I need more grip. Can you please post the spool holder you are using? Thanks
The top one is the standard sheet metal arm that comes with the printer, I just bent the the sheet metal so the corners are closer to 90 degrees. It fits pretty much everything but Taulman filaments, I found a separate system solely for their tiny rolls that you see on the side of my printer.
