It now prints pretty well.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">- PrinterBot Simple</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> It works and prints, but I already told you that a while ago.

They actually need a ton of work to get rid of all the flaws, so much, that it would be better to harvest the motors and maybe the power supply. Then just make whole new printers.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">- Stratasys uPrint Plus</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> Still works great! I managed to get a bunch of supplies from my college, since they had a couple of them. I got more model and support material. There is just one hiccup, the eeprom chips that are included on the material (machine needs to be able to read and store the SN), are for a slightly different model (uPrint SE). So even though it is the same exact ABS material, you cannot use it. So, I think a good project for the hackers would be to hack the eeproms and re-flash a working SN.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">- M3D Micro</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> Still lil' ol' reliable.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Also still have the 2 Computers and Monitors<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Let me know what you guys think!
