A friend challenged me to try PRILINE Rosewood PLA. With its unique color, pleasant incense aroma, the familiarity of PLA and the exotic inclusion of wood particles, this seems perfect for the signature ShotokuTech business cards and wallet. Check it out.

Left hand side of this picture are 2 "steps" at 0.25 mm and on the right are "steps" at 0.1 mm. The transition between layers are... less regular than I'd like. Approx 40x, multiple exposures merged

The first layer of the first print on our first Printrbot Simple Metal! Printed using the pre-sliced g-code supplied on the Getting Started guide.
Noting my Slic3r prints tended to do better in Overhangs and Bridges than my Simplify3d prints, I made an effort to scrunitize and match up the settings (back in May).
Please don't take these setting changes as conclusive. I'm just documenting my experiments and why.
Ok, so, what, two weeks with the replicator? And now it seems more like a real Makerbot. The left nozzle clogged a few days ago. So I ordered a new one ($20! apparently custom made!) and some red ABS while I was at it.
Proceeding on with one nozzle I was having some difficulty getting yoda's (www.thingiverse.com/thing:14104) raft to not peel off the surface. Although I figured it was just might platform height that needed tweaking.
I felt pretty good about this one before I went to bed.
I did check on it in the middle of the night to find this fail.
Today the new nozzle and filament arrived. And I got those installed ok.
But (in classic Makerbot style, n problem fixed exposes problem n+1) as it turns out (after much head scratching and experimenting) one of the set screws between a stepper motor and the rest of the Makerbot had backed out.
Printing worked almost normally except moving back and forth it would slip (which is actually what happened to yoda, not peeling causing an obstruction and then making the head slip). Each pass from (not to) I'd hear a tiny squeak as it slipped, causing the model to creep out of its lines.
I'd added a lot (maybe a bit too much) lube trying to make that sqeak go away. But it simply wouldn't.
I decided to start tightening things and that's when I discovered one of the two set screws for that motor pulley missing.
Now we're back in business, both extruders and even printing in Red!!!
