A generic geek with a passion for all of the things I find interesting. Usually thoughtful, occasionally confusing.

My wood @printrbot Simple just turned 4 years old. Still holds its own printing wedding flowers alongside my upgraded 2014 Metal Simple

@nathan_stevens @LFlemingEDU For cubepro, if it's slicing / cartage filament issues KISSlicer or Simplify3D are potential software solutions

I'm not a runner, but jogging 5k #TrotforHunger in about 35 minutes is pretty awesome to me. #happythanksgiving

The type of geek who will still go out to catch a glimpse of the #InternationalSpaceStation crossing over the sky

Under too good to be true: I bought a new @Sphero Ollie for $30 at a local target store. This is on top of two used spheros I bought today

Ruben flavored #Lays : not bad, not great. Think of the chips you get with a real Ruben and juices get on them except the chips aren't soggy

Just printed a calibration cube with a @Polar3D printer. It's pretty accurate #3dprinting right out of the box

@nathan_stevens @mdlammi had to rewatch to catch the Dept of Ed slip, but overall not bad. Still need to rebuild robopup for show and tells

@MelissajRosen in Repetier I've had to manually reset the port used on occasion, but it has a couple options listed and one will work

[Mark Welker @g3head]

@MelissajRosen trying a second system doesn't hurt, but not sure that'll help. I haven't had many connection problems due to OS X

[Mark Welker @g3head]

@MelissajRosen I haven't done much with printing from sd cards, but what OS / host software are you trying to connect to the printers?

The type of orchestra my high school self should have been in when I still played the cello #rtoot

[Mark Welker @g3head]

@MelissajRosen @printrbot said open a support ticket and I'd second that. They're pretty fast and very friendly from the times I've done so

[Mark Welker @g3head]

@MelissajRosen it might just be a connection issue, but could be more. Power issues, hardware problem, bad cable, etc

[Mark Welker @g3head]

@MelissajRosen there are a lot of what ifs for what's going wrong with your printers. Repitier-host software reports some errors but not all

Only on my desk would it be easier to find a random smt electronics part than the screw I just took out of my watch...
