After a year of printing solely in ABS, I will make my first attempt using PLA. I'm using a modified Replicator 1 and I have a glass plate on hand.
Any important tips I should know before I start?

Never underestimate the power a new printer nozzle can have on your quality of prints! Spent almost a week fighting with an old nozzle that got clogged. I finally broke down and ordered a replacement. Just put it in and now that extruder is printing like new.

For anyone looking for a glass plate for Makerbot Replicator 1's without having to do a group buy, I found that McMaster-Carr's Borosilicate glass plates appear to work fine.
I tried using the plate using these dimensions: 9"x 6" at 1/8th Thickness

Woot! Just finished off upgrading those horrid Replicator 1 Plastic HBP Arms with Bottlework's Aluminum Arms. No more HBP warping for me!

I thought I'd share some of my Eve Online 3D Prints I've been working on and some I've found. If you have a 3D Printer, try em out! I'll try to get some more models exported from Eve and clean them up so they are printable soon.
