I am absolutely in love with my new Printrbot Simple 2016 (Thanks @Brook_Drumm1 !!!)

The name is indicative of its performance, everything about using it from setup to printing is incredibly simple to use and understand.

Still considering grabbing one but am holding out for the heated bed. Can we see some example prints?

Will post some tomorrow

Great to hear! Soon, I will change the name to indicate its professional feel and smooth operation… it’s a huge cut above anything we have produced in overall user experience… we will call it the Simple Pro.

Good choice of name.
It is also a very quiet printer, and it does not shake the desk at all.

Hey @Brook_Drumm , is there any way to get the print to stick less to the tape? Prints are stuck really well, and it destroys the tape sometimes getting the prints off. And also, there is a clear piece of something on the bed, is that a printable surface as well, id not, what is its purpose.?

The tape is polycarbonate. There if you prefer purple glue stick or hair spray but I use blue tape. It protects the bed :wink: For less stick to tape, try raising your z calibration .1mm at a time until you hit that perfect mix of good stock but removable. One trial at a time to test :wink:

Yup, figured out the calibration, and everything is great now.
