Topic: press help

Hi, So my press never really worked.  Its sat in my garage for years while my other printers pick up the work load.  Its basically stock.  Is there a definitive guide out there for how to make this a working printer both software and hardware wise in a post solidoodle world?  It really bothers me that it was never useful.... and i don't want to die knowing i was bested by a machine.... help me cross this off my bucket list lol

Here is a fairly involved mod one member here completed beyond that their are a half dozen sticky threads related to the press.

My advice is pull it out clean it lube it power it up and try to print then evaluate the print and go from there.

As far as parts go https://www.printitindustries.com/ these guy went into business to support solidoodle customers .

Re: press help

If you’re giving up on it feel free to send me an email at [email protected] and I’d probably be willing to take it off your hands. We’d negotiate price and things like that but send me an email if you want.
