199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

Welcome to Gamebridge Unityversity. If it's your first night, you ''will'' develop a game.
[[image:gamebridge.png|right|thumb|300px|The Gamebridge Unityversity Crest proudly displays the four [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampant#Rampant Ponies Pissant] amid the cursors, buttons, d-pad and in the center is the Gamebridge Unityversity symbol]]

*Feb. 4 2013: Is there class today?

*NEXT UPCOMING CLASS: Jan 28 Monday class isn't happening but we'll be back next week.

*'''UPDATE 3''': Hi, my name is Forest and I currently work for the company that makes Unity. I will be at NB for the Unity group on Aug 13 and Aug 20, and I'll also be around the space throughout the week. I wear a panda hat, so come talk to me about unity stuff!

*'''UPDATE 2''': Alex is back to host Gamebridge again! Primer Labs has been on hiatus focusing on building Code Hero but now Code Hero is in beta and you can play it at Gamebridge to help you learn Unity3D programming.

[http://www.primerlabs.com Primer Labs] also has a new [http://www.primerlabs.com/codehero Code Hero] and [http://www.primerlabs.com/gamebridge Gamebridge] web site where you can get all these resources and more to learn game development.

*'''WHEN:''' We meet up on Monday nights from 6:00 PM till 10:00 PM and do game development at Noisebridge at 2169 Mission St..

*'''NEWBS RTFM''': If it's your first night, you can make a game if you want. We'll help you get started. There's great tutorials to start with that will have you playing your own game in no time.
*'''1337 DEVS HACK''': Bring your game projects and collaborate!

*'''Gamebridge''': All kinds of game development are welcome at Gamebridge including different platforms, "non-technical" game artists, writers, programming styles and technologies.
*'''Unityversity''': The Unityversity department focuses on [http://www.unity3d.com Unity Engine] collaboration and learning. Unity is free to make games with and absurdly easy to learn in a group environment like Unityversity where you can ask questions of your fellow developers.

==Planned Departments==
New departments of Gamebridge can be established.
*'''Unrealiversity''': We first need developers interested in teaching Unreal.

==Things To Bring==
*Laptops, especially ones with decent 3D graphics cards. To run [http://www.unity3d.com Unity3D] you'll need one running Mac or Windows.
*Pre-install [http://www.unity3d.com Unity] and some of the Unity tutorials if you can so you can get started right away with Unityversity.
*iPhones, Androids & other cool game hardware devices for building games on
*Connectors to hook your laptop to the big projector screen to show off your games and development processes to the group

== Inspiration ==
Game development is a lot of fun. Game development is an awesome way to learn computer programming. And games can inspire players to learn all kinds of things about the world.

A lot of us are into game development and a lot of us would like to learn how, so it makes sense to get together and share our interests and experience.

== The Open Primer Project ==
Some of us are working on an open-source game called [http://www.openprimer.org Primer] which uses gameplay to weave learning all kinds of useful things into an epic adventure through the history of the cosmos and the future of civilization.

== Contact ==
If you want to know more about Game Development Club, just come by some time or contact Alex Peake at openprimer [atsymbol] gmail.com.

== Meetup Log / Class Curriculum Courseware ==
[[GameDevelopmentCourseware]]

== Meetup History ==
We had our first meetup November 4th and it was a lot of fun. We made a game about evil companion cubes that want to give you a hug for very explosive definitions of hug.

= Game Development Resources =
== Game Engines ==
Game engines make it pretty easy to develop games by giving you lots of development tools for world building and scripting.

We're interested in other kinds of game development too, including non-computer game designs like dice-based RPGs, board games and card games.

== Unity ==
[http://www.unity3d.com Unity] is an awesome game development engine based on Mono that compiles for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Web and Wii with support coming soon for PS3 and XBox. Unity has just been made free for indy developers. Unity is an extremely easy to learn game development environment with a massively helpful developer community.

We are primarily teaching and collaborating with Unity in Game Club because it is incredibly awesome and easy to learn.

===Unity On Ubuntu===
*[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23757 Unity3D on Wine] works with only a couple small bugs so you can create Unity games on Ubuntu too!
*[http://www.winehq.org/download Install WINE] for Ubuntu

=== Unity Tutorials ===
'''START HERE:''' [http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/ Unity Tutorials] are free to download and can be completed in a day or two! Do these before coming or do them with us to get help and support.

== Other Game Engines ==

=== Unreal ===
[http://www.udk.com/ Unreal Development Kit] is also available for free now. We'll no doubt be playing with that as well. Unreal is some seriously advanced game dev technology. It's too heavy to run on an iPhone, but it is a good way to make high-end PC and console games.

=== Objective C ===
Some people are making iPhone games directly in Cocoa.

=== Blender Game Engine ===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Blender Blender Game Engine] is an open-source game engine integrated with the [http://www.blender.org Blender] 3D studio software. It has come a long way in recent versions and some of the games people have made with it are amazing.

=== OGRE Open Source 3D Engine ===
[http://www.ogre3d.org/ OGRE] is not a full game engine but it does have Mac, Windows, Linux and iPhone support. It has recently been used to make a big hit called Torchlight.

=== SDL ===
[http://www.libsdl.org/ SDL] is a cross-platform open-source game development library that has been used to make [http://source.bungie.org/get/ Aleph One] based on the Marathon series.

== Game Development Tools ==
Game development involves lots of tools for modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging and animating game environments.

=== Maya ===
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13578047&siteID=123112 Maya] is the #1 3D content creation tool for games.

We're looking for people with Maya experience who can teach how to use Maya. Especially interested in learning about character rigging and animation.

=== Blender ===
[http://www.blender.org/ Blender] is an open-source 3D studio that can do mostly the same things as Maya for free. We're looking for people who want to teach Blender skills.

=== SketchUp ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/ SketchUp] is a surprisingly powerful and incredibly easy to use 3D modeling application for making basic 3D geometry to use in your game development.

=== Google 3D Warehouse ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ Google 3D Warehouse] is a searchable library of free 3D models in SketchUp format that you can download freely and use in your games. You can also upload your own creations to 3D Warehouse.

=== FreeSound Project ===
[http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php FreeSound Project] is a searchable library of free sound files that you can use in your games. You can also upload your sounds to FreeSound for others to use.

=== All CG Textures ===
[http://www.allcgtextures.com/main.php All CG Textures] has loads of quality free textures.

=== 3D Character Rigs ===
[http://hznaqnzxuoouxznqanzh.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ Creative Crash] has many free 3D character rigs in Maya format.

==PAST UPDATES==
*UPDATE: Alex has been away from Noisebridge lately launching [http://www.primerlabs.com Primer Labs] but Gamebridge is still open for anyone who wants to gather at Noisebridge to develop games and Alex will return with an expanded version of Gamebridge and more people to learn from in the very near future. Gamebridge will be much bigger than it ever was. Stay tuned.

Game development is a lot of fun. Game development is an awesome way to learn computer programming. And games can inspire players to learn all kinds of things about the world.

A lot of us are into game development and a lot of us would like to learn how, so it makes sense to get together and share our interests and experience.

== The Open Primer Project ==
Some of us are working on an open-source game called [http://www.openprimer.org Primer] which uses gameplay to weave learning all kinds of useful things into an epic adventure through the history of the cosmos and the future of civilization.

== Contact ==
If you want to know more about Game Development Club, just come by some time or contact Alex Peake at openprimer [atsymbol] gmail.com.

== Meetup Log / Class Curriculum Courseware ==
[[GameDevelopmentCourseware]]

== Meetup History ==
We had our first meetup November 4th and it was a lot of fun. We made a game about evil companion cubes that want to give you a hug for very explosive definitions of hug.

= Game Development Resources =
== Game Engines ==
Game engines make it pretty easy to develop games by giving you lots of development tools for world building and scripting.

We're interested in other kinds of game development too, including non-computer game designs like dice-based RPGs, board games and card games.

== Unity ==
[http://www.unity3d.com Unity] is an awesome game development engine based on Mono that compiles for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Web and Wii with support coming soon for PS3 and XBox. Unity has just been made free for indy developers. Unity is an extremely easy to learn game development environment with a massively helpful developer community.

We are primarily teaching and collaborating with Unity in Game Club because it is incredibly awesome and easy to learn.

===Unity On Ubuntu===
*[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23757 Unity3D on Wine] works with only a couple small bugs so you can create Unity games on Ubuntu too!
*[http://www.winehq.org/download Install WINE] for Ubuntu

=== Unity Tutorials ===
'''START HERE:''' [http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/ Unity Tutorials] are free to download and can be completed in a day or two! Do these before coming or do them with us to get help and support.

*Javascript
**Before beginning the Unity tutorials it is useful (but not required) to understand basic javascript programming.
**[http://www.unity-tutorials.com/free-tutorial-download.php Unityscript Beginning Scripting Tutorial (Free with an email)]

*Professional Unity Tutorials
**[http://www.unity-tutorials.com/ Unity-Tutorials.com] has $15 tutorials on topics like particles, gizmos, character rigging, animation and Cheetah 3D.

== Other Game Engines ==

=== Unreal ===
[http://www.udk.com/ Unreal Development Kit] is also available for free now. We'll no doubt be playing with that as well. Unreal is some seriously advanced game dev technology. It's too heavy to run on an iPhone, but it is a good way to make high-end PC and console games.

=== Objective C ===
Some people are making iPhone games directly in Cocoa.

=== Blender Game Engine ===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Blender Blender Game Engine] is an open-source game engine integrated with the [http://www.blender.org Blender] 3D studio software. It has come a long way in recent versions and some of the games people have made with it are amazing.

=== OGRE Open Source 3D Engine ===
[http://www.ogre3d.org/ OGRE] is not a full game engine but it does have Mac, Windows, Linux and iPhone support. It has recently been used to make a big hit called Torchlight.

=== SDL ===
[http://www.libsdl.org/ SDL] is a cross-platform open-source game development library that has been used to make [http://source.bungie.org/get/ Aleph One] based on the Marathon series.

== Game Development Tools ==
Game development involves lots of tools for modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging and animating game environments.

=== Maya ===
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13578047&siteID=123112 Maya] is the #1 3D content creation tool for games.

We're looking for people with Maya experience who can teach how to use Maya. Especially interested in learning about character rigging and animation.

=== Blender ===
[http://www.blender.org/ Blender] is an open-source 3D studio that can do mostly the same things as Maya for free. We're looking for people who want to teach Blender skills.

=== SketchUp ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/ SketchUp] is a surprisingly powerful and incredibly easy to use 3D modeling application for making basic 3D geometry to use in your game development.

=== Google 3D Warehouse ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ Google 3D Warehouse] is a searchable library of free 3D models in SketchUp format that you can download freely and use in your games. You can also upload your own creations to 3D Warehouse.

=== FreeSound Project ===
[http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php FreeSound Project] is a searchable library of free sound files that you can use in your games. You can also upload your sounds to FreeSound for others to use.

=== All CG Textures ===
[http://www.allcgtextures.com/main.php All CG Textures] has loads of quality free textures.

=== 3D Character Rigs ===
[http://hznaqnzxuoouxznqanzh.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ Creative Crash] has many free 3D character rigs in Maya format.

==PAST UPDATES==
*UPDATE: Alex has been away from Noisebridge lately launching [http://www.primerlabs.com Primer Labs] but Gamebridge is still open for anyone who wants to gather at Noisebridge to develop games and Alex will return with an expanded version of Gamebridge and more people to learn from in the very near future. Gamebridge will be much bigger than it ever was. Stay tuned.

Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

199.188.193.145: /* Recurring Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up.

* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. To get involved subscribe & post to [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-discuss] or you can email '''noizparty@riseup.net.'''

199.188.193.145: /* Recurring Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up. The iFixit community is building the free online repair manual for everything. We are strong proponents of DIY repair, modding, hacking and that kind of stuff. Come to hang out and chat with some of the iFixit team.
* '''Wednesday, Jan. 30, 20:00-22:00''' [[zine|ZiP]] meeting for zine-makers & others with an interest in printing & self-publishing. The meeting 1/30/13 is our first since mid-2012.

* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. To get involved subscribe & post to [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-discuss] or you can email '''noizparty@riseup.net.'''

DreamworksReply

199.188.193.145: remove note, consensus is to send it!

Dear Ashley and Todd,

Thanks for your letter asking for permission to use the Noisebridge logo on
sticker and T-shirts in the forthcoming DreamWorks movie about Julian Assange
and Daniel Domscheit-Berg. It must be very exciting to work on such a large
project, especially when you need, as your letter says, clearance on our logo
"tomorrow" (15th January). How annoying it must be to constantly ask for
such permissions, just for a little bit of set dressing!

It is probably long past the point when you needed it, but
here is our decision:

From your description, it should be clear to anyone watching your
film that you're just using the image to talk ''about'' Noisebridge, not claim
you ''are'' Noisebridge or that Noisebridge supports your film*.

Given this, Noisebridge as a community believes you have the free speech right to use such imagery without having to ask permission -- especially those who you might
be implicitly criticising or commenting upon. Such a right is encoded in the
existing nature of trademark and copyright with the idea of fair use.

Sadly, knowledge of such rights have been eroded over the years by the
repeated claims of copyright maximalists, who would have you believe that you must beg
to refer to us in your film -- or even that you would be beholden to us if,
for instance, you parodied our disrespectful attitude to your concerns with the
following image, which includes both of our identifying marks, the
Noisebridge(TM) circuit, and the Unicorn Pissing A Rainbow(TM).

[[Image:Nb-dream-pee.jpg]]

Such a position is lunacy and a genuine threat to free speech and the first
amendment. You should exercise all of your fair use rights freely and without
fear.

So we say tell your friends at DreamWorks to publish (or print, or produce) and
be damned. Tell them we fully support them in their brave stand. You can say
with confidence that the only conditions under which Noisebridge would sue them and their
partners to the maximum damages entitled to us by law would be if it turned out
that hackers like us were completely hypocritical nihilists out only for our
own egotistical ends.

Given that you were so nice as to ask us, we can't imagine you think that of us.

Lots of love,

Noisebridge

* - which frankly sounds a bit sleazy. Are the screenwriters really inserting a fake subplot about a non-existent American spy in Iran who is exposed in the State department cables? Doesn't that seem a little irresponsible to you, given the great, real stories in the WikiLeaks affair you could have written about?

----

To Whom It May Concern,

I am a Clearance Coordinator working on the DreamWorks Studios feature
film The Fifth Estate and Production is interested in using the Noisebridge.net name and logo on stickers as set dressing and/or on
t-shirts as wardrobe.

I have attached a PDF containing a formal request letter, our standard
release form, and an image of the name/logo. The letter explains what
the film is about, who is making it, and how Production intends to use
the name/logo.

If everything meets with your approval, please print the release form,
arrange for signature and return to us, preferably, via email to
XXXXX. Should
you have any questions, concerns, or problems opening the attachment,
please contact me at your earliest convenience.

If permission is granted, Production would need to print the stickers
and/or t-shirt as soon as tomorrow to have them prepared for shooting.
I apologize for the urgency and understand that Production's schedule
is not your priority. Your immediate attention to this request is
appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to
receiving you response.

Sincerely,

Todd Kravitz

I am also known as Valkyrie. It's an old name that I resurrect from time to time and will be more likely to respond to it than my real name. The internet also knows me as longobord. That name is never taken. The two are actually interrelated, if you can believe that.

I used to know more than I do now. Long ago I studied the bit with the electrons floating around. I miss it. I liked signal theory a lot.

I am not so good at the lifting heavy things business, but that doesn't always stop me, considering my ongoing love affair with molten metal.

[http://wiki.orbswarm.com/images/a/a1/Orb-R2-Christie.JPG Me and robots] I am the one who's not a robot. I help with the orb robot on my left.

===Identifications===
==== <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> entry ====
# adduser --shell /bin/bash --uid 21580 --gecos 'Christie Dudley' longobord
...
# awk -F: '$1=="longobord" {print}' /etc/passwd
longobord:x:21580:21580:Christie Dudley,,,:/home/longobord:/bin/bash

==== ssh Public Key ====
I don't have a good use for it, and I keep losing track of the one that gets signed by friends as I switch machines. I imagine someday it might actually be useful.

===contact===
longobord at gmail is my most direct email. 
I'm also found at:
*cdudley at scu edu
*c.dudley at ieee org
*christie at flaminglotus com
*longobord at most of the popular places.
longobord on twitter, gtalk, etc. 
Valkyrie` and Valkyrie`` and sometimes even Valkyrie- on irc 

===interest===
I have an odd constellation of interests. These are pretty much the leading ones, in no particular order:
* The Law: I now study law full time.
* Small communications device hacking/listening
* Protocol analysis and reversing
* Making gadgety things do things they weren't intended.
* Personal liberty and privacy, technically and legally.
* Space exploration, intermediate steps headed towards the moon as a model for outward expansion
* Robots because I don't understand why we don't have these already.
* A bit of ham radio, although I hate talking.
* Light-based art, including LEDs and fire and pyrotechnics

===projects===
Still getting these sorted. Perpetually. Here are a couple of things that have been rattling around in my head:
* Designing and building robots that can move independently or when attached to each other.
* Probably something with LEDs, including acrylic light pipes. Maybe some cast resin.
** Work with Zedd on getting the counter top lit
** LED fingernails
*** Need to find the smallest battery available.
*** Get some SMD resistors to match.
** LED "beading" on clothing
** LED "light" staff. Completed, did a 5MoF talk on this easy project.
* Wearable interfaces Preferably input devices, as heads up displays are more obtainable.
* Learning new things, like German, only that's a pretty old thing really.

I have (had?) all the parts to build a tesla coil I think I should do that someday.
I also like to arrange for people to come to the space to talk about cool stuff.

===Allergies===
I have many allergies. I get tired of reminding people of my current list of allergies my doctor has advised me about, so I wanted to include it here.

====Anaphylaxis====
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis] is an immediately life-threatening form of an allergic reaction. I have only had this once in my life, but I am at a very real risk, so the more people who know about it the better. If I collapse and turn blue, chances are I am in anaphylactic shock. I always try to carry an epi-pen somewhere on my person. (Jacket chest pocket or handbag or something.) Ask me to see it, I'm happy to show it to you. I even have a trainer if you want to practice. Take it out, pop the cap and stab me with it in the thigh RIGHT AWAY. Although I tend to react slowly, if I'm already blue it means I'm already dying.

====Food====
I've successfully reintroduced all the problem foods back into my diet, but I still avoid wheat when it's not terribly inconvenient. (And it can be terribly inconvenient to not drink beer.)

====Environmental====
'''Cats''': I have had many second-hand reactions to cats. I am so allergic, I am sometimes allergic to people who have cats, which is very unfortunate. Oh, and ferrets happen to fall in this category. It's my cat allergy that has caused anyphylaxis in the past, so if I get really excited about it, it's just my concern about continuing to remain alive.

'''Mold''': This crops up in odd things. Artificial smoke machines are horrid for this. Cheap cigarettes sometimes have mold. "fresh air" after a light rain is often quite full of mold. It doesn't matter if it's living or dead, it will still bother me.

'''Dust''': I'm not intending to be rude when I decline to help clean up anything that's been sitting for longer than week or two. Vacuuming often makes this worse, even with a great filter, simply because you're stirring it up.

'''Other''': I'm also allergic to dogs, pollens, fragrances and other random stuff, but these are either not as serious or immediate as the rest.

'''Irritants''': If I'm having an allergic reaction to something else, any stuff in the air (smoke, cleaning chemicals, even dish soap) even if I'm not allergic, will worsen the condition.

Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon

2013-01-28T02:47:16Z

199.188.193.145: /* Schedule */

In memory of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz Aaron Swartz], and in coordination with a [[Worldwide Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathons|world-wide effort]], Noisebridge will be hosting a hackathon starting '''Friday, January 25th''', and continuing through '''Sunday, January 27th'''.

== Intro ==

Aaron was a hacktivist and friend of many in our community. He helped create RSS 1.0; contributed to Creative Commons; was an early builder of Reddit, where he's often acknowledged as a co-founder; created the [http://webpy.org/ web.py] framework; and more recently, became a data liberator, first with PACER and then with scholarly articles from JSTOR, both of which got him into trouble with the law.

Aaron's [http://demandprogress.org/ Demand Progress] project helped stop SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act in the US, which threatened to have far reaching unintended consequences.

Aaron Swartz committed suicide on Jan. 11, 2013, but his work on making the world a better place should not die with him. Join us for two days of understanding his work and contributing to keep his memory and projects alive.

(This section adapted with permission from the [http://hacknight.in/hasgeek/aaronsw-memorial Bangalore hackathon].)

== Event Details ==

'''When''': 7pm Jan. 25 - 7pm Jan. 27

Makerbot

2013-01-27T22:00:28Z

199.188.193.145: /* 01/20/13 */

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Noisebridge's Makerbot kit, thoughtfully purchased by Mitch, arrived at 83C on Monday evening, July 20. Leading the assembly team is Joachim, along with Christoph, Rachel, Steve (Mr Domino), and Jeffrey (ieatlint).

It took about an hour and a half to go through and check the parts against the [http://pony.noisebridge.net/~cmaier/makerbot/parts_lists.ods parts list]. <strike>We think we are missing a bag of "laser cut pulleys" but it's hard to be completely sure, as there are a LOT of parts and they are not all labeled exactly as in the parts list</strike> A bag of "laser cut pulleys" was replaced by MakerBot-made pulleys, but the parts lists weren't updated. We determined to start assembly anyway.

We got the first part of the body together without difficulty, but had trouble with the Z stage as one of the parts had changed from when the docs were written. The Z stage rod holding guides changed from being O-shaped to being U-shaped, and are marked "Z guides". The forums told us to use them anyway.

The next problem was with threaded rods, which had been cut to size. The ends of some would not take a nut. We solved this with judicious use of the bench grinder. There were LOTS of nut/rod jokes, and we were in a state where they were actually funny! [[User:Rachel|Rachel]] 10:08, 21 July 2009 (PDT)

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 23:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-04-01 ==

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''

An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. To get involved subscribe & post to [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-discuss] or you can email '''noizparty@riseup.net.'''

199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===



* '''Monday, January 21, 18:00 - 20:00''' [[Technoactivism_Mondays|Technoactivism Third Mondays]] Techno-Activism Third Mondays is an informal meetup designed to connect techno-activists and hacktivists in Bay Area who work on or with circumvention tools, and are interested in anti-censorship and anti-surveillance tech. We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up.

* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. People already tentatively involved include Dan F, T Longshanks, KimKim & Gay Asperberger's Josh. To get involved subscribe & post to [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-discuss] or you can email '''noizparty@riseup.net.'''

199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===



* '''Monday, January 21, 18:00 - 20:00''' [[Technoactivism_Mondays|Technoactivism Third Mondays]] Techno-Activism Third Mondays is an informal meetup designed to connect techno-activists and hacktivists in Bay Area who work on or with circumvention tools, and are interested in anti-censorship and anti-surveillance tech. We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up.

* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. People already tentatively involved include Dan F., T. Longshanks, KimKim & Gay Asperberger's Josh (written with permission). To get involved subscribe & post to [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-discuss] or you can email '''noizparty@riseup.net.'''

DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April (Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. People already tentatively involved include Dan F., T. Longshanks, KimKim & Gay Josh with Asperger's.

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar.

199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===



* '''Monday, January 21, 18:00 - 20:00''' [[Technoactivism_Mondays|Technoactivism Third Mondays]] Techno-Activism Third Mondays is an informal meetup designed to connect techno-activists and hacktivists in Bay Area who work on or with circumvention tools, and are interested in anti-censorship and anti-surveillance tech. We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up. The iFixit community is building the free online repair manual for everything. We are strong proponents of DIY repair, modding, hacking and that kind of stuff. Come to hang out and chat with some of the iFixit team.
* '''Thursday, February 17, 20:00-22:00''' 5 Minutes of Fame - 5MoF is back with another showcase of lightning talks & other good stuff, with your host Sir Danny O'Brien!
* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential really fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, a bunch of people must come together to organize & commit. People already tentatively involved include Dan F., T. Longshanks, & KimKim & Gay Asperberger's Josh (he said I could write that). To get involved subscribe & post to [[https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss|Noisebridge-discuss]] or you can email '''ccomity@riseup.net.'''

199.188.193.145: /* Upcoming Events edit */

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff... like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===



* '''Monday, January 21, 18:00 - 20:00''' [[Technoactivism_Mondays|Technoactivism Third Mondays]] Techno-Activism Third Mondays is an informal meetup designed to connect techno-activists and hacktivists in Bay Area who work on or with circumvention tools, and are interested in anti-censorship and anti-surveillance tech. We're the cousin meetup to OpenITP's [http://wiki.openitp.org/techno-activism_3rd_mondays New York event].
* '''Thursday, January 24, 19:00 - 21:00 - Codebender for Arduino''' workshop by the co-founders of [http://codebender.cc/ Codebender], visiting from the first hackerspace in Greece, P-space. Beginners welcome! Bring Arduino hardware. codebender is an online tool for Arduino users and makers, which makes Arduino programming much, much easier (and fun!) and also allows you to collaborate with other people and share code and ideas. We're going to teach newbies how to use Arduino to build cool, exciting things, and Arduino veterans how to become more productive and code easier, to get their cool ideas off the ground faster.
* '''Friday, January 25 through Sunday, January 27 - [[Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon]]'''
* '''February 1, Friday, 18:30 - 21:00ish''' [[Meet-Up with iFixit]] iFixit will be in town for Macworld and will be holding an informal meet-up. The iFixit community is building the free online repair manual for everything. We are strong proponents of DIY repair, modding, hacking and that kind of stuff. Come to hang out and chat with some of the iFixit team.

* '''DATE TBA—March or April 2013: Benefit / Art Auction for Noisebridge''' Noisebridge needs money. An idea is circulating to host a benefit/fundraiser event at Noisebridge in March or April ('''Ides of March or '''April Fool's Day soiree?'''). It could be a simple affair with art for sale donated by local artists, or a splendid gala event with performances, bands, alt fashion show, &c (someone suggested a hacker art auction). Potential totally fab way to replenish the NB coffers, clear out old stuff & revitalize the space with new members. In order for it to happen, we need a bunch of people to come together to organize & commit. People already tentatively involved include Dan F., T. Longshanks, & KimKim & Gay Asperberger's Josh (he said I could write that). To get involved subscribe & post to [[https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss|Noisebridge-discuss]] or you can email '''ccomity@riseup.net.'''

Makerbot

2013-01-21T00:45:18Z

199.188.193.145: /* 01/20/13 */

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Noisebridge's Makerbot kit, thoughtfully purchased by Mitch, arrived at 83C on Monday evening, July 20. Leading the assembly team is Joachim, along with Christoph, Rachel, Steve (Mr Domino), and Jeffrey (ieatlint).

It took about an hour and a half to go through and check the parts against the [http://pony.noisebridge.net/~cmaier/makerbot/parts_lists.ods parts list]. <strike>We think we are missing a bag of "laser cut pulleys" but it's hard to be completely sure, as there are a LOT of parts and they are not all labeled exactly as in the parts list</strike> A bag of "laser cut pulleys" was replaced by MakerBot-made pulleys, but the parts lists weren't updated. We determined to start assembly anyway.

We got the first part of the body together without difficulty, but had trouble with the Z stage as one of the parts had changed from when the docs were written. The Z stage rod holding guides changed from being O-shaped to being U-shaped, and are marked "Z guides". The forums told us to use them anyway.

The next problem was with threaded rods, which had been cut to size. The ends of some would not take a nut. We solved this with judicious use of the bench grinder. There were LOTS of nut/rod jokes, and we were in a state where they were actually funny! [[User:Rachel|Rachel]] 10:08, 21 July 2009 (PDT)

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 23:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-04-01 ==

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

Makerbot

2013-01-21T00:23:09Z

199.188.193.145: /* 01/20/13 */

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.

== 2011-04-01 ==

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

Makerbot

2013-01-21T00:20:49Z

199.188.193.145: /* 01/20/13 */

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.

== 2011-04-01 ==

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

Makerbot

2013-01-21T00:20:20Z

199.188.193.145: /* Status Reports */

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

== 01/10/2010 ==
Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 12:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-03-02 ==

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.
[[User:Miloh|Miloh]] 23:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== 2011-04-01 ==

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.

Gate

2012-12-23T22:29:15Z

199.188.193.145: Adding spec section for gate maintanence

This page documents the operation of Noisebridge's front gate, located at 2169 Mission Street.

= Documentation =

The gate is opened using the intercom pad inside Noisebridge, next to the door to the stairs. The "DOOR" button, illustrated with a picture of a key, opens the gate.

This switch can also be operated remotely, through an arcane and un-neccessarily convoluted system. A cable leads from the keypad through the machine shop, and up to a parallel port pair mounted on a PCB, just next to a hole in the South wall. The cable from the other side of this hole leads along the ceiling to a parallel port attached to the very top of the Wall O Tubes. This is a USB parallel port connected to [[Minotaur]].

This USB parallel port is controlled by a daemon called <tt>[https://github.com/noisebridge/gateman gateman]</tt>, which -- like all services on Minotaur -- is started automatically by [http://upstart.ubuntu.com Upstart]. <tt>gateman</tt> is called by the Noisebridge API. Minotaur also hosts the [[keycode access]] system which uses API to open the gate. Other systems including the <tt>opengate</tt> script on [[Pony]] also open the gate this way.

= Usage =

* To open the gate from outside the space, see [[getting in]].
* To open the gate from inside the space, use the "DOOR" button on the intercom pad.
* If you are too lazy to get out of your seat and, use the <tt>opengate</tt> script on Pony.
* If you are setting up another system to open the gate, write your application to use the Noisebridge [[API]]. The API only works from within the space, so you should probably run your service on Pony. Do not try to run your system on Minotaur unless you've brought it up at a [[meeting]].

Makerbot

2012-12-13T22:04:49Z

199.188.193.145:

= The Makerbots are still working (2011-11-04) =

Some of the Makerbots are working. You have to use and older version ReplicatorG with these Makerbot Cupcakes. As of Replicator G ~version30 the newest versions are incompatible with the firmware these guys use.
ReplicatorG link: http://replicat.org/

There are three filament spools in operation now, with red, black and white ABS. Just pull out a bit of filament, guide it into the extruder of your chosen Makerbot (making sure to avoid any sharp turns), feed it through (with the nozzle heated), and print!

Nutjob (the Noisebridge bot) has had a number of major upgrades performed on it, including heated build platform and Mk 5 extruder. It is now working well. The standard ReplicatorG v29 software and profiles (choose Cupcake with Heated Build Platform) will work fine with it.

Go ahead and use it, the instructions here and on the Makerbot site are appropriate, with one caveat: there is a bug in the Makerbot profiles that will leave the heated build platform and steppers on, which is a fire hazard.

Before printing, install ReplicatorG version 29, run it, press Generate G-Code, select the profile you will use, press Locate, and find the file called end.gcode, and if it does not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit it to look like this:

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0
M109 S0
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

White Rabbit (Gian Pablo's bot) has had its XY stage replaced with a printed one, and Z axis guide rods installed. It should work fine with the default profiles for a Cupcake with a Heated Build Platform (but do make the change described above). It works very well with ReplicatorG v29.

Scotch has a extruder mount made with Noisebridge's own laser cutter. It is the thing made out of green acrylic. Check in with Miloh before using it, it is still being debugged and enhanced. Scotch is not working now, it is waiting for a new extruder nozzle.

Another bot in the space is Andrew Rutter's Super Cupcake. This one is heavily modified and should under no circumstances be used without consulting Andrew.

Tip 'O The Day:

For smaller parts, make a Skeinforge profile where you change the Fill/Extra Shells setting to 0 (no extra shells) and the Fill/Infill Densiety to 1.0. This yields extremely strong and dimensionally accurate parts.

=How to Use the Makerbot=
if it breaks, we can fix it. don't be afraid of the makerbot! I've crashed it hundreds of times and only permanently broke something once.

====install some software first====

* You can make STL files in your browser! http://www.tinkercad.com/

* Install Java (if you don't already have it) - http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

* Install Python (if you don't already have it). http://www.python.org/download/

* Optionally, install PsyCo, it will make things run much faster. http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html

* get yourself a copy of replicatorg: http://replicat.org/download

ReplicatorG now includes various versions of the Skeinforge slicing utility, so no need to download and install separately.

ReplicatorG version 2.9 for Mac doesn't work - the control panel is missing, so it heats the platform and uploads stl files but doesn't heat or control the extruder. Use 2.7 instead!

ReplicatorG 0024 has a serious bug in some of the profiles for the Cupcake CNC Makerbot, it will not generate the instructions that turn off heated build platform and stepper motors. This is a potential fire hazard, as the steppers and the build platform can get very hot. Do this:

Find the file(s) called end.gcode, and if they do not contain the M109, M104 and M18 codes, edit them to look like this (you can just add them to the end - it doesn't hurt if they are repeated):

<pre>
(end of the file, cooldown routines)
M104 S0 (extruder to temperature 0)
M109 S0 (heated build platform to temperature 0)
G91
G1 Z10
M18 (turn off steppers.)</pre>

This will turn off everything, leaving the Makerbot in a safe state.

You are done.

====using the software====

* Start ReplicatorG.

* Open an STL file. You should see a 3D image of your model.

* Press the 'generate GCode' button on the right.

* You will be asked to choose a profile. Currently you are looking at Cupcake CNC Mk4, but very soon you will want Cupcake CNC Mk5 with Heated Build Platform.

* It will take a while to build the GCode for the model. Go talk to visitors to the space and tell them not to sleep here.

* Refer to the detailed instructions on the Makerbot site for more up-to-date tips and instructions (they change often): http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print

====fire up the makerbot====

Instructions have been updated to reflect the (coming) new and improved Makerbot.

* turn on the makerbot PSU, it's a switch in the back
* plug in the makerbot usb cable
* run replicatorg (./replicatorg)
* (firmware should be updated)
* the first time you run it, machine->driver->cupcake CNC with heated build platform
* also machine->serial port, choose whatever serial port is being emulated via USB
* load filament
** loosen the extruder thumbscrew
** insert filament into the extruder, basically to the level of the motor axle (NOT all the way down into the nozzle - you do this so that you can more easily tell if the motor is working)
** tighten the extruder thumbscrew, just a little bit more than finger tight, enough to get a good grip between the drive gear and the filament - you can adjust this while printing, if the filament starts slipping
* click on the 4 arrows symbol (control panel)
** lay a small piece of paper on the platform
** remove any crud from the nozzle with bent nose pliers (hidden under the EFF hat)
** move X, Y to the center of the platform (you can do this by pressing Disable steppers, then moving it by hand)
** jog down in Z first in 10mm increments, then 1mm increments, until there is maximum drag force on the paper
** jog up in 0.1mm increments until the drag lessens
** click "set zero"
** at the bottom of the control panel there are some settings, set them in this order
*** Motor Speed (PWM): 255
*** Target Temperature: 220
*** Heated Build Platform: 120
*** Motor Control: Stop
** wait until the temperature is above 200 then try a test extrusion
*** move Z axis up 20mm or so
***click Motor Control: forward
*** wait for the filament to enter the extruder, and start coming out the nozzle
*** make sure the extruder motor is turning, there is a dot drawn on the axle with sharpie
*** if you accidentally start the motor before it's hot, you can fix it by slightly unscrewing the extruder thumbscrew and adjusting the filament
* the build platform should be plenty hot now
** there might be an IR thermometer in a little duct tape pouch thingy
** it should be around 120-130C for best results
* remove ooze from the nozzle with pliers
* zero the Z axis (ie. move it down until it near touches the platform)
* file->open the .gcode file you created earlier with skeinforge
* click 'build' (the solid kidney bean)
* if the first layer doesn't stick at all or peels loose immediately, adjust the z axis down by turning the pulley on top of the makerbot
* if the first layer starts getting fugly during the infill, with crap building up on the nozzle, adjust the z axis up a few steps until it looks perfectly flat with no "fuzz"
***note to self: get some pics and video of first layer too high, first layer too low, and verify zeroing procedure
* now since it probably screwed up somehow, hit stop and remove the grossness with the plastic scraper and/or pliers
* it should still be zeroed, and hopefully at the correct height adjustment now, so just click 'build' again
* if you can't get it to stick at all, the platform is probably at the wrong temperature.
** wait five minutes for it to warm up completely
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_side.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|your part should look like this or better. I still hadn't tweaked the feedrate perfectly for colored plastic, hence the blobbiness.]]

* ok now presumably you're done printing and nothing went wrong.
** jog Z+ 20mm to give yourself some room
** wait for the piece to cool down, 3 to 5 minutes should be enough
** now just peel it off with your hand
** if you let the piece cool all the way down, maybe 10-15 minutes, it will just "pop" off the build platform by itself
*** be careful, the part may still be soft and can deform
*** don't use a knife if at all possible, it will mess up the Kapton coating on the platform - just wait for it to cool
*** it's easier if you remove the build platform - it's held on with magnets

==== tweaking skeinforge ====
[[File:Nophead_pulleys_top.jpg|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, top view|note the incomplete infill on the right; this was due to improper perimeter width settings. note the square teeth on the left; this is because "stretch" is turned on. this is a good thing.]]
there are about 300 different "craft" settings in skeinforge, and they all interrelate in confusing ways. here's a quick overview of the important ones:
*carve->layer height: should be about 0.8*nozzle hole diameter, ship default is 0.4
*carve->width over height: should be about 1.45, if threads in flat parts show gap make this value smaller
*speed->flow rate: 255
*speed->feed rate: start around 35mm/s
*fill->infill solidity: 0.25 is adequate and not too slow. higher for stronger parts
*fill->infill pattern: controls whether you get hashbrowns or honeycombs
*comb keeps it from driving through empty spaces and making stringies
*raft prints a waffle grid thingy to keep the corners held down - will be disabled for heated build platform
*raftless - don't use it, instead turn off the raft checkbox when generating GCode in RepG, use outline to generate a lead-in
*oozebane is useless, forget about it
*jitter is good, set it to a large value like 100
*stretch makes corners un-rounded, but can cause data overload stuttering if "stretch from distance" is too small
*temperature is usually set to 230, but newer extruders can print fine with temperatures as low as 205C. You might need to lower all the temperatures in order to print tall skinny objects.
*wipe should be turned off
*outline should be turned on, it draws a rectangle around the first layer which lets you tweak the Z axis distance and ensure adhesion

You may want to create a profile with an alternative set of settings. In the Generate GCode dialog, select the default profile for your machine (mostly likely Cupcake with Heated Build Platform), duplicate it and call it "SuperSolid" or something like that, and make the following changes:

*Fill/Extra Shells -> 0 (there are a number of extra shells parameters - make all of them zero)
*Fill/Infill Density -> 1.0 (this will make solid objects)

Use this profile for parts that need to be extra strong or precise, ie. working machine parts or gears. Be warned that this will be very slow and will use a lot more plastic. However, the results can be truly outstanding.

you can safely ignore the rest

==== care and feeding ====
* don't leave the makerbot unattended for hours, as it can theoretically catch on fire (those heated bed wires are iffy)
* don't leave the extruder hot for hours. periodically flush through plastic to prevent it from oxidizing.
* if you are about to run out of filament, cut off both ends square with diagonal flush cutters (the blue cutters for electronics) and simply hold the filament together as it goes in
*if the filament strips out during use (extruder motor is on, temperature high enough, nothing happening) try pushing it down manually
** if this doesn't work, try reversing the motor until the filament comes out, cut it cleanly, and reinsert
** if it keeps stripping out, you may have to completely disassemble the extruder and remove plastic gunk from the gear teeth.
*** use a long 5/64" or 2mm allen key to set the extruder idler wheel/feed gear spacing
** try not to let it happen in the first place. stripping can be caused by setting the first layer too low, blocking the nozzle and letting pressure build up
*don't upgrade the firmware unless you're willing to deal with the consequences
*keep it away from bright light
*don't get any water on it
*never, never ever feed it after midnight.

Noisebridge's Makerbot kit, thoughtfully purchased by Mitch, arrived at 83C on Monday evening, July 20. Leading the assembly team is Joachim, along with Christoph, Rachel, Steve (Mr Domino), and Jeffrey (ieatlint).

It took about an hour and a half to go through and check the parts against the [http://pony.noisebridge.net/~cmaier/makerbot/parts_lists.ods parts list]. <strike>We think we are missing a bag of "laser cut pulleys" but it's hard to be completely sure, as there are a LOT of parts and they are not all labeled exactly as in the parts list</strike> A bag of "laser cut pulleys" was replaced by MakerBot-made pulleys, but the parts lists weren't updated. We determined to start assembly anyway.

We got the first part of the body together without difficulty, but had trouble with the Z stage as one of the parts had changed from when the docs were written. The Z stage rod holding guides changed from being O-shaped to being U-shaped, and are marked "Z guides". The forums told us to use them anyway.

The next problem was with threaded rods, which had been cut to size. The ends of some would not take a nut. We solved this with judicious use of the bench grinder. There were LOTS of nut/rod jokes, and we were in a state where they were actually funny! [[User:Rachel|Rachel]] 10:08, 21 July 2009 (PDT)

Martin - The makerbot is working and printing objects well. You will need to download and install "ReplicatorG" and "skeinforge" in order to use the bot. The software runs on Mac, Linux, and PC. (skeinforge requires Python, ReplicatorG requires Java) Example objects are next to the bot.

The X/Y/Z stage endpoints are not yet installed. It requires a number of popsicle sticks to be cut to the correct length and the stage to be calibrated. You can operate the MakerBot with ***great*** care without them.

The extruder head has been upgraded to the Mark-4, with a new bearing and idler wheel. Also, the extruder head is now insulated with the same material they use to insulate the Space Shuttle heat tiles from the skin of the shuttle itself. *** IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE DON'T TAKE APART! *** I can't replace the material, it was given as a gift from a friend at JPL.

Please read all the instructions on how to use the MakerBot on the [[http://wiki.makerbot.com/|MakerBot Wiki Site]] before attempting to use it.

== 08/24/09 ==
Thanks to excellent efforts and support from Martin, the MakerBot is now in a semi-functional state. There are three things that need to be worked on, however:
# The Y stage endpoint is installed incorrectly (the Y stage and physically crash into it)
# The nichrome wire needs to be better insulated so it can maintain higher temperatures and consistent temperatures.
# The feeding mechanism needs to be reviewed, as it appears that it fails to operate reliably.

Please do NOT attempt to disassemble the plastruder header.
Also, do NOT attempt to operate the MakerBot unless you really know what you're doing.

Much has happened to the Makerbot since last noted,
the broken idler wheel was replaced and the extruder head assembly was upgraded by me using parts from Bre when he was here. Thanks Bre!
I also at that time upgraded the firmware and printed a bunch of skull throwies, yay!
Time has passed between then and now and many people have been reporting the makerbot in sickly condition, after much testing I am glad to report this not the case. go go makerbot!

== 03/10/2010 ==
Bre was here on 20/2 and installed a heated build platform on the Makerbot. The heated platform is a new development, still in prototype stage. It is awesome because it prevents warping, and allows workpieces to stick to the build platform without having to build a raft.

He left a sheet of instructions, they say:

"... While here we set you up with a heated build platform. It's
hooked up to the fans pot. So before you print, go into the control
panel and click [x] fan and it will turn it on. Let it warm up for at
least 5 minutes and then print on it. When the model is done, let it
cool for 5 minutes and it will 'pop' right off the warm kapton tape.

We are also leaving you a spare parts kit for the extruder. Your
nozzle is super thick and slow. This new nozzle has a smaller nozzle
hole. Make it, use it, love it!

Bre and Zack, Makerbot"

When asked about the workings of the heated build platform, he said:

"Yup, ours is a prototype part, it's awesome but not very well documented.

You want to plug it in above the mosfet that usually runs the fan.

You can then go into the control panel and just turn the fan on, let
it heat up for 8-10 minutes and it will get to about 110F.

Print away and remember to turn it off and unplug the bot when you're done!"

Please note that he's left us the parts for an improved extruder - up to us to build it - and some of the new colored ABS plastic.

== 04/03/2010 ==
After using the makerbot all day I (fenn) noticed the Z axis was consistently jamming up when traversing above 125mm/min. Several hours of head-scratching later I discovered that the heated platform would cause the large acrylic plate that holds the extruder to heat up and expand, pushing outwards on the Z-axis nuts and causing the mechanism to bind ever so slightly. The simple fix of filing the plate down was complicated by the lack of small files and the fact that the machine was assembled wrong, requiring removal of the four small u-shaped plywood "guide plates", which I put back in the correct orientation: gap outwards.

I'm not sure the heated build platform actually ever gets hot enough for ABS to stick to the kapton tape. It seems to max out at 95 celsius, as measured with an infrared thermometer. The RepRap wiki suggests 120-220 degrees for ABS. Perhaps connect the platform directly to a higher voltage power supply?

Lacking a hot enough bed for the first layer to stick to, blue masking tape sorta almost works (the first time you use it), and I got much better results when I taped a business card on top and printed on that instead. I printed a few gears and hope to add a [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1794 "wade extruder"] soonish.

== 04/09/2010 ==
I (fenn) came in today and it appeared that nobody had touched the makerbot since I last left it. But the nozzle wouldn't heat up. Voltage to the wires, it just didnt get hot. So, heeding the warning to not disassemble the nozzle, I removed it and swapped in another one, which works a lot better anyway. Then I attached a 16V transformer to the heated bed, and now it gets up to 165C which is much better than the old 90C running on 12V. Now the first layer actually sticks! Z axis seems to still be jamming up; I didn't file the notches deep enough I guess. Wish I had more time to play with it. Skeinforge settings that seem to work with ABS:
layer height: 0.4mm, flow rate: 255, feed rate: 25mm/s.

== 04/11/2010 ==
added a fan to cool off the acrylic plate. make sure you enable the fan before printing and it shouldn't jam up anymore. seems to be working reliably now.

hint: instead of trying to adjust the Z zero in software, manually adjust the height as it prints the first layer.

caution: plugging in or unplugging the heater transformer may cause the power strip breaker to trip and reset the makerbot.

== 04/13/2010 ==
leveled bed by shaving down tabs that were sticking up, pushing magnets back in, and adding a small strip of kapton tape. adjusted toothed gear/idler wheel spacing with 5/64 allen key.

Some of the magnets on the Y stage are in sideways (poles on left & right), not upright (poles on top & bottom). I found this when building my Makerbot, since I wanted the build platform to be interoperable, I tried placing the magnets on the Y stage of the NB 'bot to check polarity, and found that they were sticking corner-to-corner, not face-to-face. - Gian Pablo

== 06/10/2010 ==
I've taken in two functioning nozzle assemblies, and an extruder block with double idler wheel. These should help get the 'bot up and running. The nozzles may need to be heated up, PTFE insulator removed and cleaned. - Gian Pablo

What is the large spool of white plastic next to the Makerbot? It seems a lot softer than ABS, and certainly acts strange when I try to print with it. (It is so soft that it scrunches up in the extruder feed channel, and the pinch wheel starts grinding into it super quickly. It doesn't stink when heated.) Could it be Shapelock? - Gian Pablo

''it is PLA, rather than ABS. It melts at a much, much lower temperature.'' - Martin

It's not PLA, far too soft. There's some green PLA in the bag on top of the pile. I think it's HDPE. Smells like HDPE too. (like a blown out candle.) - fenn

== 9/24/2010 ==

The Makerbot is broken...

d'oh!

i'm really not sure what happened. i was cleaning out the extruder and i think one of the green wires touched the large metal washer; there was a spark and a small poof next to the rj-45 connector on the extruder board, and now nothing turns on. sigh.

[[File:IMG_2929.JPG|right|thumbnail|alt=two sample pieces, side view|corroborating evidence]]
I swapped in one of Gian Pablo's extruders and bought a new 606 bearing for the gearmotor. (somehow the original must have fallen out and gotten lost.) Lots of jamming up and cussing ensued. Some adjustments were made, much filament run through the machine, and I deduced that the '''NEW EXTRUDER REQURIES THE FAN ON''' whenever it is at operating temperature. I got it to print out a timing pulley on the fifth try, and reliably printing after that, using the same settings as before.

The nozzles I left seem to print reliably at much lower temperatures, try 195C and see how that goes. [gian pablo]

== 2011-01-08 ==

I've ordered an extensive selection of parts, including new extruder, heated build platform, extruder board etc. Should be here next week.

We've started work on this. I've also started printing a replacement XY stage (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4213) on my Makerbot, and ordered the parts for it (bearings, nuts, screws, washers).

[gian pablo]

== 2011-01-14 ==

All the parts have arrived. Miloh unpacked them and started working on it. Things to do:

* Assemble heated build platform
* Assemble relay board
* Assemble Plastruder Mk 5
* Replace extruder controller (and motherboard if necessary)
* Clean the 'bot
* Calibrate it

== 2011-02-18 ==

Watch it. It prints.

The autospool can cinch down and yank your build to ruin. Jake and I modified it to pull out the side in a lazier loop. It needs to be watched.

* Needs More calibration
** feed rate
** stepper driver currents (there were some X-Y 1-2mm shift errors halfway through the first builds)
* Need a get up to speed session & bot day (CrashSpaceLA is having one this weekend)

Printed different series of shelving brackets in red ABS. Another 2mm shift 1/4 of the way through the print only made them semi-useful. Not sure what caused the shift -- there were ~50 people milling around so I'm going to assume someone just touched the build in progress. The autospool is modified and working well on its side. The new MK5 head is working well so far (without the extrusion blowout and grip problems of the MK4 series pinch wheel and gear drive)
improvements:

* we can laser cut 1/16 cork mounting dampeners for the stepper motors
* either replace the Y axis build platform mounting part or the build platform wood back to improve stability in the platform.

All the Makerbots are working.

I've made a bunch of upgrades to White Rabbit and it is working great, there are a few fun sample prints scattered around. Ping me if you want to use it, it is a bit non-standard.

I spent a bit of quality time with Nutjob, cleaned out the driver gear, levelled the Z stage, replaced the drive motor and tidied up the cables. It is pretty standard, go ahead and use it.

There are now two filament spindles up and running, with red and white ABS. Black ABS is on the way.

Miloh printed a replacement toilet hinge, and it is now installed and working.

[[user:Gpvillamil|Gian Pablo]]

== 2011-04-07 ==

Over the last few days:
Centrated the Z axis quartet on Scotch. Found a bad bearing and replaced it. Shimmed the bearings into place as the wood was starting to wear. The Z axis is much improved by performing this maintenance. If the rods are quite parallel and straight, the Z stage can also be shimmed into place to reduce side to side slop.

The modified Z axis mount needed more clearance from the Z stage, so I replaced the mounting plates with a single piece of 1/8" laser cut acrylic.

I also upgraded the pinchwheel on Scotch with Gian-Pablo's old pinchwheel mounting. It's the same part, but with low-friction delrin plates and a plunger along the filament path. The old one can be rehabilitated by cutting out the same 1/8" delrin parts.

The power went out on Nutjob today. Assessing the problem tomorrow.
