Seems like this didn't upload yesterday. Day 3/365 Printing on Vintage Hardware. Another Thing-O-Matic fresh out of NYC. Stock firmware this time struggling with a not so well tuned Skeinforge profile. Did okay near the start but not having Orbit enabled for minimum layer time got super nasty!

Day 1 of 365 Printing on Vintage Hardware. I decided to let the profile induced failure stand. 2011 Makerbot Thing-O-Matic stock hardware with Klipper firmware. Sliced with a Voron 0 profile (125 Infill, 300 Travel) the retraction was not adjusted for direct drive & it clogged up around 70%.

Come see us this weekend September 27th and 28th at @3dprintopia.bsky.social in Bel Air, Maryland.

All setup for this year's @3dprintopia.bsky.social Be sure to come say hi and check out the printers.

Want to see the printers I've posted these last 19 days. See all of these and more ready to print live at @3DPrintopia less than 7 days from now. The only real limit is how much electricity I can pump into the booth!

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 19. I am currently on a plane flying back with this Makergear M2 Rev A that has had a 24v, Rambo 1.3 & Dual Extruder Upgrade in its lifetime. I have to imagine it's the last printer I acquire before the event so group photos, booth info is next up.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 18. The latest in my collection is this Lulzbot Taz 6. Not something I was after but its nice to have next to the 4 & 5. A Mini would probably round out this end of the collection. But before I leave Hawaii I'm probably buying another old printer.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 17 still Hawaii Standard Time. My fourth and final Makerbot Replicator 1 is this single toolhead model I bought for $31. The others are duals so this mixes things up at an inexpensive price. Long term parts donors are also important.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 16. Later than usual post it's still only 7pm in Hawaii. This Printrbot Plus is my third of the brand. Like the simple it has a Rev D board. I picked this up in Front Royal Virginia and got it printing recently.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 15. The second Printrbot in the collection was this Simple 2014 model. The previous owner changed the line drive to a belt drive. Seems to have a bit of issues with Z binding/wobble. The RevD is a tight squeeze but can run Marlin 2.1.x or Klipper.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 14. On my way home from buying a Monoprice Mini Delta the seller informed me he probably should have given me this Solidoodle 2. Weeks later I went back for it. Its currently a project. I've added a 24v heater but it'll be a mess at the show.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 13. This Makergear M2 is quite a bit newer than the original 2012 version. But its a fun one for people who have never seen a bed slinger that raises on Z. I moved this printer during an office move last year but later got it during the decommission

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 12. I avoided it for so long but earlier this year I bought my first printrbot. This simple metal came out of Philadelphia for $10 and now runs @marlinfw.org 2.1.3 Beta 3. Banana for scale.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 11. 8th in my collection and 3rd Replicator is the one I rebuilt for someone I met at 3D Printopia in 24. His desire to use the machine helped me learn to put @marlinfw.org on it. In the end we put FlashForge MK10 toolheads in it with part cooling.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 10. 7th in my collection & 2nd Replicator. Original owner Nick Margarone from the Brick Drone Kickstarter used it to start a company. I flew this back from Florida disassembled in my carry-on. It now runs Marlin 2.1.2.5.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 9. The 6th classic in my collection and second Ultimaker is this UMO+. The previous owner was gifted it by Ultimaker at an event. The UMO was a great printer for it's time and the heated bed is a must have upgrade that the UMO+ came with stock.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 8. This Makerbot Thing-O-Matic just arrived. Includes the belted automated build plate. Everything seems functional. I tore it down, cleaned it up and all that's needed is a bit of cable wrap.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 7. The 5th classic in my collection a @lulzbot3d.bsky.social Taz4 was brought to last year's event by MattsPrintables from a person in the Voron discord. I have seen gone through this printer but I dont seem to have taken many pics. Dual Budaschnozzles!

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 6 I'm late again. The 4th in my collection of classics is the @e3donline.bsky.social BigBox. Seen last year with Georgia and David who later put me in touch with designer Greg Holloway. It now runs and hopefully will spit out some makerchips for me.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 5. The third classic in the collection was a Lulzbot Taz 5 with dual extruder. I don't seem to have any good shots and it's in my cube waiting for the event. So here's a photo of the extruder.

Countdown to @3dprintopia.bsky.social Day 4, posting a bit late. This near mint Makerbot Replicator was the second classic in my collection. This was at the show last year and triggered some events that caused my collection to grow massively this following year.
