-Current Status: Fully Functional
+(This is the V1 mini. The V2 is a separate printer)
+Current Status: It's a mess. Currently in a box on a shelf. Rehab at your leisure?
-NOTE: This 3D printer is Sam's personal property, **not** the space's. Don't mess with it unless you've been trained!
+Status: Broken. Needs lots of Fixing
-As of right now, the easiest way to use this is to generate your Gcode elsewhere (using Cura or other slicing software), copy the files to a MicroSD card, and print via the printer's front panel.
+At some point in 2018, this printer experienced multiple failures (Display board failed, and then while troubleshooting, a voltage regulator on the main control board released the magic smoke. The main board has been replaced by a RAMPS, and the display by a low-cost LCD controller. Hotend was replaced by an E3D clone. Still needs a lot of calibration to get 100% right- last time I attempted to use it it errored out with a thermal runaway condition?
-Status: Fully functional

 Potential Hacks/Improvements:
-  *Octoprint: A Raspberry Pi running OctoPi is in the space (in a case printed on the printer...) It's right now running the [[RepRap]], but we could hook it up to this one.
   *Extruder (cold end) upgrade: A set of Metal extruder parts has been procured. Don't replace until necessary.
-  *Extuder (hot end) upgrade: an E3D V6 clone hotend has been procured. A mount for it will need to be printed in ABS (or stronger). Need to print the mount soon (as a just-in-case measure), but no need to perform the replacement until necessary.
   *Other modifications: [[https://hackaday.io/project/14823/logs|See Here]] for many other improvements.
