Pristine Printrbot Simple (Wooden Edition) – New Old Stock / Never Used – Museum Grade

Available for the serious collector or tech historian is an exceptionally rare Printrbot Simple (2014 Edition). While many of these machines helped launch the 3D printing revolution, very few survived in this condition.

This unit was fully assembled but never used. It has spent its life in a climate-controlled environment, preserving the integrity of the laser-cut birch frame and the original mechanical components.

Highlights for the Collector:

Pristine Wood Frame: Unlike most units from this era, the wood is not warped, stained by filament, or scorched by the hot end. The laser-etched "Printrbot" logo is crisp and clear. Original Hardware: Includes the iconic Ubis Hot End, the original Printrboard electronics, and the signature "fishing line" (Spectra line) drive system that defined Brook Drumm’s early designs. "Time Capsule" Status: This is a 100% stock build with only a glass printing plate added and one test piece printed to verify model was assembled and working correctly. This is exactly as it was when the Maker movement was at its peak (plus some dust). Mechanical Integrity: All axes move smoothly; the motors and belts show zero wear or degradation. History & Significance:

The Printrbot Simple is the machine that democratized 3D printing. Launched via one of the most successful Kickstarters of its time, it proved that a 3D printer could be affordable, kit-built, and functional. It is a cornerstone of the RepRap movement and a must-have for any collection of 21st-century computing and manufacturing history.
