Remove Filament from Extruder

Replace one of the vertical actuator grip

September 26, 2014: We came in on Friday for two hours and printed out the strut that we need to make our printer work. We accessed the printer on the cart. We spent a bit of time trying to get the stil file into slicer. We didn't realize that G-converter was on the PC and not the Raspberry Pi. We discovered this and tried to use the PC but had troubles. We ended up bypassing this step by using a shortcut in Slic3r. We finally got the printer to run, and completed one attempt at our part. This attempt had major defects in it: the top layers were shifted by a significant amount off from the rest of the part. Photo below. In the meantime I continued working on replacing the vertical actuator joint grip. I successfully replaced the old tubing with the new tubing on one side of the printer. Photos also below.
