Hey folks,
As you may have seen in another thread discussing finding new homes
for hardware, we're looking to sell off cheaply our little 3D printers
as we haven't used them for over a year now.
We know we have 4 of them, but we're currently searching our storage
shed for the cases with 2 of them (2 are immediately available).
The reason we're listing them here on this mailing list is because
these printers are Printrbot Jr 3D printers, that utilise the RepRap
"Marlin" firmware (open), and the design is somewhat open (I'm a
little confused as I believe when we purchased them the design was
fully open, but I see here that it's a creative commons license of
some sort here:

Marlin firmware info (GNU v3):
http://reprap.org/wiki/Marlin
These Printrbot Jr printers are well kept (serviced by us often when
in use) and we got great use out of them. They fold down so that they
can fit inside a briefcase.
We used them primarily with education, demonstrations, and
touring/residencies because of the small form factor, and ease of
accessing the mechanisms (vital when you're in a remote area).
Because they use the very popular open Marlin RepRap firmware you can
use many different software slicers, but we used "Slic3r" to slice,
and "Pronterface" to print with (we only use Linux so these tools
worked well under Linux).
We have had for the past couple of years 3 x Makerbot Replicator 2
printers that we primarily use so the Printrbot Jr's don't get touched
much anymore.
For those in the know, here are some details:
Filament type: PLA
Filament diameter: 1.75mm
Firmware: Marlin
Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm
Upgrades: Fans, removable fan mount, and power plugs (PWM controlled onboard)
Maximum print size: 150mm x 100mm x 100mm
Included with each printer:
1 x Printrbot Jr 3D printer
1 x Reel roller (made by Printrbot)
1 x Wooden filament reel (made by Printrbot)
1 x Plastic reel that fits roller (small amount of filament on it)
1 x Fan upgrade
1 x Power supply and IEC lead
1 x USB cable
We'd be looking for $400 for each of them (4 in total) as they're in
very serviceable condition and print very well (I think we got them
for around $700 each originally plus the fan add ons and accessories
etc).
Let me know if you need to know more info (or to see pictures), we're
based around Ballarat, but travel to Melbourne a couple of times a
week so we'd be happy to drop it off if you're not too far away, or
meet somewhere in Melbourne.
Many thanks,
Jesse
