Hi Guys!

A while back, PJ from Twitter sent me this Printrbot Smalls that I built over 2 live streams.  It is a cute little printer that I first saw at Bay Area Maker Faire when I got to meet Brook Drumm, the Father of Printrbot.

Anyway, this is the first time that I have had a chance to try something other than the Printrbot test print.  So I decided to try printing the Dog that I just recently printed on my MeCreator2.  The Printrbot Smalls did a great job considering I made no tweaks at all to the default settings in Cura provided by Printrbot's website.  Other than  the extremely noticeable layer lines, I could not ask for a better print for a first try.

The model used for this print can be found here:  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1175721

If you are interested in purchasing a Printrbot Smalls for you self, the printer seen in this video is the Kit version.  https://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-smalls-kit/  
Please check out my two build videos and decide for yourself if the Kit is the way you want to go, or just pay a little more and have them send it to you fully assembled.
