  • Started to assemble some semblance of an electronics workspace

  • I managed to separate the USB micro connector from the Printrbot electronics board. I used my Sparksfun Rework Station for the first time to reset the connector back onto the board. Now to see if it worked…
  • No, the USB micro connector detached from the board as soon as I plugged in the cable, and now the connector looks suspect. I either have to find another connector or get another Printrbot board.

  • Add a work light to the electronics workspace

  • Better yet…if I could salvage an old micro USB connector from another junk device!
