Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Alright thanks for the advice guys.

Just a quick question guys.

I've finished assembling the entire rostock. When I push the cheapstakes up to the endstop and let go they tend to slide down about 5mm.

Should I tighten the belt so that the cheapstakes stay pressed up against the endstops when pushed all the way to the top?

So I've printed 10 of these z-calibration test and there seems to be no improvement. All of them are printed in the center of the glass plate. Before printing out the next Z-calib i tweeked the filament diameter and extrusion widths to test which would be the best. I thought that at one point Id fin...

Ive ordered parts from the states and my ABS spools were shipped from China. For the most part I do order from China. But not everywhere in China ships to Cambodia. Also its difficult finding the right parts from a seller who ships to Cambodia for a low cost. Although China is closer geographically ...

Sorry bout that, I was using the incorrect word.

In my last print the Feedrate was set to 80 and Flowrate was 100

Cope413 - I put the flowrate of the print at 50 so thats maybe why it took about 2 hours. But this recent print i did I changed the flow rate to 80 and it still about an hour and 40 minutes. Flateric - My arms are binding?? I have the tricklaser arms with the slop resistant bands. Would I still have...

Just got my RoStock MAX finished! I stared at the calibartion cube for 2 hours as it was printing. Its hypnotizing how this thing works. But now I need help to really perfect my prints. Extruder- 200.00 Bed - 85.00 layer height - 0.2mm 1st layer height - 0.3mm Fill density - 0.2 Infill every- 1 laye...

Its been a bit difficult finding the right tools for building the rostock, but I did bring tools over here so they help a bit. All i really need is some good solder and a molex crimper. Jimustanguitar thank you for your offer but I wouldnt want it to be too much of a hassle. I actually ordered some ...

Alright thanks for all the advice guys. Im just going to move on ahead with completing the RoStock Max. Ill try to look for some 4.7k Resistors but it will probably take some time. I also messed up the soldering of the heated pad power wires pretty badly so Ive got to find some desoldering wire. I t...

Ive been practicing my soldering and I think its gotten pretty good. But... I messed up pretty badly. I put the resistor for the LED into the wrong polarity and tried to unsolder it. Then I realized that the wires were too short so tried to solder on extra wire that I cut off back onto it. But the w...

Alright thanks guys. I apperciate the information. I would like to solder them but Im just worried that my soldering skills wont be correct for the wiring and may short out the cold extrusion. So Im suppose to put some heat shrink tubing over the wire. Then strip the wires one at a time. And connect...

Just one last Newbie question. I bought these connectors that were listed on the hardware needed for assembly. Are these connectors for extending the EZextruder wires only? or are they also used for some other wire extensions too?? [img]http://i.imgur.com/fu3CYrM.jpg[/img] And just on a side note Mu...

hey guys Im just wondering am I suppose to extend the wires by soldering them together or can I crimp the wires using connectors??

I know this is pretty late but hopefully it helps whoever comes across a problem similar to this. Before i built the Rostock I never built anything before so i had to go and figure out which screws were what. Heres a picture of the parts list as of Feb 21 [img]http://i.imgur.com/ery1iOr.jpg[/img] I ...

Hm... yeah now that i think about it.... How is it hitting the acetyl? Maybe his prints are too small and the depth of the bearing cover isnt deep enough. Dont know. And Im happy to share my experience with this forum since its helped me out alot but dont hold your breath. Im still working on the ra...

Well daftscience shared his experience on this post. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=2393&hilit=belt&start=10#p17240 daftsceience: "I have the bearing flanges on now, but they push the belt out enough that it's rubbing with the acetyls" I remember reading that so...

Hey edward, Thanks for the advice. I actually came across this thing while trying to find solutions to the cheapskate, belt problems. I also came across this new cover for the bearing. http://www.thingiverse.com/make:38593 I think another problem that I can see alot of people coming across is gettin...

Thank you Obi-Wan

Now Im off to other forum posts to figure out the belt tension.

Without this forum I think my rostock would have spontaneously combusted a lloonngg time ago.

No motion AT ALL! GOT IT!

Guess its time to get back to adjusting the cams.. again......

Thanks guys

Hey guys Im just wondering should there be no side to side play on the cheapskate at all?? Or is it alright if the cheapstake has a very slight bit of movement from side to side. And when I say slight movement I mean when you try to push it from front to back it moves the width of a hair horizontall...

Geneb: I dont trust my bad crimping skills so I think its best if i just cut the wires off and recrimp them once i get the right crimper and new molex pins. I've finished the base today and Ill be moving onto installing the towers. [img]http://i.imgur.com/J1dL0jw.jpg[/img] Im going to leave the X,Y,...

Alright great. Thanks for the information geneb. And thanks for writing up the assembly guide too. I've never touched a tool in my life. Never crimped, stripped, soldered, screwed ANYTHING EVER. Didnt know how to read screw sizes or which tools to use for anything. The only time I ever worked with a...
