Topic: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

I felt that the original filament guide that is mounted on the printer was bad. It made the filament go into the wiring and didn't go very smooth through, so I made a new one myself. I printed it on my Apprentice at 0.2 mm layer height and with 20& honeycomb infill. I did not use support on this print. This was my first object to print that i drew myself and was very happy with the result!

Good job! This is the first Workbench Apprentice we've seen in the wild, and many are still waiting on their printers...would it trouble you to share a few more pics? smile

Printit Mason and Printit Horizon printers
Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on
Filawinder and Filastruder #1870.....worth every penny!

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Did your bed not come with kapton tape, or did you take it off?

And pro tip: try putting hairspray on the bottom of the glass instead of using binder clips. You'll thank me smile

Re: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

The bed did not come with kaptontape, and so far i have not have any problems getting things to stick, at least when I'm printing with PLA. I have not printed so much with ABS but the little i have tried it did stick well by just using hairspray.

Did not know about the hairspray under to keep the glass in place, Thanks for the tip! smile

Re: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

Excellent news. With ABS you'll have much more luck if you set up an enclosure. Hairspray instead of binder clips will make certain your glass is flat and further improve adhesion. Did they include glass with the printer? If so, that's cool!

One more question. Could you take an up close picture of the motherboard? Id like to know what board is in there.

Re: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

Looks like a Printrboard to me based on the screws for the trimpots there. Thanks again.

Re: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

Printrboard doesn't support dual extruders, but that may explain what looks like a blue board next to it. I think it is a different board.

Re: New filament guide for Solidoodle Workbench Apprentice

It looks like they've added the Extrudrboard - http://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-extrudrboard/ to run the extra extruder, but are running the Z on that one instead.  I wonder if the Press is going to have a standard Printrboard with a customized daughterboard plugged into it.
