Object lesson


We fired up the the new library Printrbot Simple yesterday afternoon. Had  instruction about Repetier software from my 3-D tutor. We printed the test-cube, above. The printer extruder is the red nozzle. The orange-tipped cylinder is the self-leveling probe; a Printrbot innovation that "reads" the level of the bed and informs  adjustments to the extruder. Masking tape provides a compatible surface for PLA plastic adherence.
