Your Multibot sounds great!
We've got a Makerbot in our community shop (TCMaker). I was really excited when we got it. But it seems to be kind of tetchy. We've upgraded a few parts on it, but it still seems to need a fair amount of fiddling with to get it to work well. A couple guys have spent a lot of time with it and can get it to do some things, but it's not as reliable as one of the big buck printers you can get. It's way cheaper, of course.
One of the problems that spring to mind is that here in Minnesota, the air can get pretty humid, and that causes the wood to expand, and it doesn't take much before the build platform isn't quite as flat as it used to be when the air was drier. And when that doesn't align well with the extruder.... sadness happens.
Very valuable tip for me, thank you! I live down south; nothin' but humid!
Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I appreciate it.
