Although the Smalls may look like the Printrbot Simpleโs little brother, it boasts a larger print volume, a smaller overall footprint, and perhaps even a little more personality and panache.
Limited vs. Standard
The Limited Edition features a slightly larger build platform, linear rails over the standardโs linear rods, and an attractive wood trim exterior. At $500 itโs also pricey compared to the $398 standard and $298 kit and doesnโt come with a heated bed.
A Reliable Machine
The prints looked fantastic, and the auto-tramming operation led to a solid โset and forgetโ print process. A Cura profile is supplied for the Smalls, but I needed to manually edit the machine settings in order to achieve the full benefits of the build area. The stock speeds also seemed a bit slow, but Iโll take quality prints over quickness.
