I have added some (I hope nice) prints to my hub’s profile gallery page. Enjoy. – www.3dhubs.com/brno/hubs/tom

PS: Printrbot Simple Metal kit upgraded with E3D V6 all metal hot end and with secondary (area) 120mm fan. Simplify3D used for slicing newer models.

The quality is simply impeccable, @TomV! Thanks for the heads up, your Hub page is a pleasure to look at Loved the 2-colour watch stand - nice touch!

Thank you for very kind words, @gabriela3d! I’m already working on some new upgrades of my Printrbot (never ending story), which is really great kit, but with some drawbacks for Central European owner (I have mentioned them in my review for new 2016 guide). My hub and it’s Czech website kopec3Dtisku.cz are still almost invisible, so I need to achieve next level of printing reliability before going more to public in 2016.
