My simple is in a continious state of being torn apart and being rebuilt, 90% of the enjoyment of owning it is to see how far I can push it.
Recently my printrboard went bang, and the stepper driver chips got fried, so I took the opportunity to swap it out for a RAMPS card which is the ultimate in hackability. I have added a heated bed and a glass build plate, which has transformed my use of evrn PLA, and opened up ABS as a possible material to use. With a heated, bed, and glass plate, I dont have to worry aboug my first layer anymore, even straight onto the glass it works perfectly. Printing has become boringly predictable.
The little black box on the side of the extruder, is a servo with a microswitch on the arm, just getting it all wired up to try out autobed leveling.
