Aaron,
It would be great to hear about the maintenance or upgrades that have been done on that printer. Maybe Liz can list anything she did in the last year. Could you both bring the machine log up to date at the
MakerBot Machine Log page?
These old Replicators have some flaky characteristics. There is some critical maintenance which is required to prevent serious damage, and some critical upgrades that can either prevent total failure or greatly improve performance. It would be a shame to start losing these machines because people were unaware of these needs.
Liz, I can contact some of the folks who have one of the 10 Public Lab printers, but I don't know where three or four of them are. Should we make an effort to have an up-to-date contact list and find out what the printers are up to? If everyone filled out the machine log we could help those who needed it.
