Printrbot introduces new full metal Simple 3d printer

Printrbot is well known for its low cost plywood printers. Over at Makezine there is a news that they are releasing the first full metal body machine, the metal Simple. It has larger print volume of  6″x 6″x 6″, Z-axis end-stop adjustment knob and a self-leveling bed. It looks good, and should be very sturdy.
