im trying to print parts for the printrbot. it took a while to locate some of extruder parts but i think i got the right ones. i attached them if you want to look. im going to try and get them done locally at the university as i very seldom get up to boise.

Funny enough, I printed a full set of printrbot parts back when it was in beta.

Not sure what got updated between now and then, but it should be easy to figure out what needs to be reprinted.

well ive never built a 3d printer so the only issue was that there was a bit of assumption that one knew what else to print in addition to the printrbot parts. on the thingiverse page for the printrbot it has a list of other printed parts that are needed and that was what was throwing me off but i understand it now. i actually have family in boise are that will be coming down in about three weeks. maybe i can have them pick up parts for me if i cant get them made here.
