Incorrect settings for older Printrbots

[giseburt]

Some of the settings files for the older printrbots have become somewhat stale.

Following are what the new settings should be, in the form of gcode "start" files, relative to the settings for the Play found here :

Notes:

• For the Simple with the extension kit: there's no need for the xtm and ztm - those are only needed if the soft limits are turned on (they aren't by default) or if a GUI reads those (so far, none for 3DP do)
• For any machine with a heat bed, M100.1 ({he3e:t}) needs to be issued to enable the heat-bed temperature control.
  • If it's enabled and the heat-bed isn't connected it will cause an alarm. So the default is not enabled.
  • If it's not enabled and the heat bed is used (set to a temperature) it will cause an alarm.

[Barafu]

In "Older printrbot simple" you have a comment "; 2nd probe location - if you have x axis upgrade change y value to Y245" That seems to be an error - it should be be "change to X?". And you can't probe next to the far X end on Printrbot simple, because there is a hole in the table and the probe will fall through and crush into the table. Y axis exaggerates mechanical impurities close to the Y0. Finally, oldest Printrbot simple metal needlessly strains Y belt to reach Y0.
So, I'd probe upgraded X table at X10 Y135, X10, Y10, and X210 Y 10. Assuming zero is bottom left corner of the table.

@Barafu, to fix the Y-slamming, try setting slowing down the y homing speed with the $ysv command. A value of 1000 seems to work well for me.
