SudoRoom has a [http://typeamachines.com/ Type A Machine] | ''It's under the 3D printing desk in questionable condition. It has served us well!'' | ||
== Overview == | |||
SudoRoom has a [http://typeamachines.com/ Type A Machine]. It was generously donated by Jae Kwon in fall 2012. | |||
Tuesdays 5-9 is our hack night dedicated to 3D Printing. Stop by and learn, create, play! | |||
See our [[Print_Gallery|gallery of creations]]! | |||
We're working on using this machine to print a [[RepRap]]. | |||

The printer is currently working! (March 4th, 2014) | |||
Notes about the bed: | |||
* Our acrylic bed was warped by sunlight, so we clamped a glass bed on top of it. | |||
* The glass is flat, so you can print big things again. | |||
* You still need to adjust the corner screws to keep things level. Make sure they are tight or they wiggle and fall off. | |||
* The nozzle should be just a millimeter or so above the bed. '''Tip:''' wiggle a piece of paper under it - heavy friction means a little too close. | |||
* We need more ScotchBlue #2093EL tape. | |||
==Extruder Hot End== | |||
Our extruder is has a 12v cartridge heater and .35mm nozzle. This is standard for extruding a 1.75mm PLA filament. | |||
Type A is routinely out of stock, but replacement kits can be found here: http://www.makergear.com/products/extruders | |||

If using Printrun/Pronerface/Pronsole the baudrate is 230400. | |||

One of the first things newcomers notice is the beautiful sound created by a 3D printer. I think it's especially nice when printing curved lines, when the X and Y axes sing in harmonic, contrapuntal motion. When printing perfect circles, it's as if the celestial spheres are whispering mathematical truths into your ears. | |||
3D printers also play dubstep. | |||

* At least one Sudoer works for the manufacturer - his business card is tacked to the cork board above the printer. | |||
