This @Printrbot runs like hell: 7m per second!
But honestly, I was surprised how the printrbot handled the applied stress. I drove from home 5km to school, took it out of the box, plugged it in and it printed like a charm.

That’s cool it can handle a ride in the back of a bike like that and still work fine
This is why I love the Printrbot Simple Metal - steel is very tough and rigid.
LaserCut, bend, spot weld, rigid enough to survive multiple earthquake (motorbike vibration is something similar, plus road potholes…well almost the same as earthquake)
Bicycle powered 3d printer! Cool! Gonna be some long rides though.
Woww…
What is this? Bikecycle in modif ??
Did you have to calibrate the Z probe?
Printrbots are rugged as hell now. Not that they weren’t before but the metal helps a lot
I’ve thought about welding one of our frames together for ultra rigid box but it would make assembly really hard ;). Probably not a huge improvement either. Have considered a thicker gauge steel box on the bottom of the Simple. If dropped on the corner, it can twist and need straightening. That whole “good enough” rule definitely resonates w me though.
@Adam_Steinmark ​ Not at all. As I said: I plugged it, hit “Print” and hoped everything would go fine. It did! Btw: No risk, no fun B)
@enhydra Impressive. I think I’d have to recalibrate the Z probe on mine. I’m impressed yours was okay.
Kereeeenn…
Great
