Work in Progress
4/21/2013: Printer is operable by struggling. The x axis loses its positioning during mid print and ruins the print. This printer also has randomly stopped in mid print and freezes. Causes of it stopping are unknown.
The extruder can also provide some problems. There is currently a .35 mm hot tip on the printer. This tip is capable of high resolution prints but has yet to produce results. The extruding is also not consistent for each layer.
Builders
It is unknown who built this printer.
The Spring 2013 Yellow team has been using this printer for the majority of the spring semester. Many bugs have been worked out of the system and there are still more to work out.
PSU Unit Black - Current Condition
As of 4/27/2013. Mcdonalds is working well. Two fans need to be on when the printing is running. One is the large cooling fan. It is used to cool the extruded plastic in case of its warping. Another smaller fan is used to cool down the y motor. The only issue about Mcdonalds is the flatness of the bed. The bed is slightly higher toward positive y.
