Hey Guys… Like I said, I got my Printrbot Metal Plus last night and this is what’s doing… On the instructions says that when you buy the printer pre-assembled the heights probe should be already calibrated… Can somebody help me out setting this thing up?
Also I notice that even tho the fan’s on the filament sticks to the extruder nuzzle… 
Pla? Or abs ? What temp are you printing at ?
PLA, I’m using the “Simple settings config file” that printrbot has for download on thewir website
PLA, I’m using the “Simple settings config file” that printrbot has for download on thewir website… it seems too high… but according to them, this printer should of benn ready to print out of the box…
Don’t know what is in that config file, but you should be printing PLA at between 200 and 210C
Printrbot Service is actually quite good, maybe just mail em

Just submited a ticket… I just notice that the light on the probe it’s not on… it comes one only when it’s close to the surface?
Yes it should indeed come on as it detects the metal surface.
If the plastic is sticking to the nozzle, it means it’s not adhering to the bed properly. This could be for a number of reasons: bed not sticky enough (try wiping down the kapton with isopropyl alcohol or acetone, you could also try hairspray or gluestick), nozzle too high (not smooshing down the first layer enough), nozzle too low (smooshing it down too much and then dragging through the previous attempts).
Both of the nozzle height issues can be addressed by changing your Z probe height. If either of the nuts on the threaded rods or the threaded rods themselves has shifted/rotated relative to the other in transport then your probe height will no longer be correct.

Hello… thanks for the help… the PLA will never stick to the bed, because is 2.5" off the bed… lol
I thought that once I hit “PLAY” button the printer would lower it self down to the propper height, instead it starts printing on the air… 2.5" away from the bed
You need to do add a few commands to trigger the auto-probing.
Here is what I use:
G28 X0 Y0 Z0 ; home all
G29 ; au level probe
G1 Z10 F5000 ; lift nozzle
@javierymirna Are you on Hangouts? I’d be happy to chat with you and see if I can help you get a print going.
@John_Davis
yes John I’m here 
@javierymirna anything in the manul? Printrbot.com is your friend
i’m sure you are going to find the settings very easy… it’s just a command with a value to set usually.
Try clicking on z home and see if it come down close to the surface. If it does then your z probe is working.
I recommend lowering the nozzle until it barely captures a piece of paper on the bed. Then adjust the sensor up and down until it barely triggers when the nozzle is barely touching thin paper. Then hold the sensor in place with the nut.
I think it is unlikely that the sensor position will survive shipping. Try re-adjusting it.
If your first layer is too thin/too thick after this adjustment, try raising/lowering the sensor a very small amount.
You should follow this instruction to recalibrate the z axis with the sensor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPGpEPR6Xxc&index=8&list=PLDJMid0lOOYnleZAO6Rb8GrQH5HfhWtAI
By using the M212 command, you won’t need to perform finger twisting holding of sensor in place while calibrating. Simply adjust the sensor within 1mm higher than the head. Move the z axis down 0.1mm until it hold slightly on a piece of paper (remember how manytimes). Let’s say 6 times, then type in M212 Z-0.6 and M500 to save. Done.
Watch the video though, it’s quite easy.
@Dat_Chu I was able to make it go lower and somehow print… my cube came out like a pyramid… 
Can you record a video of a 5 minute print for a small cube? It will show the problem better than text description.
