dc42- Tried your calibration calculator. Nozzle height/leveling problems are gone! Never printed as good as it is printing now. I ran your calculator several times and each time made the suggested corrections. Since my dial indicator tilts the effector, I can't use it to make absolute adjustments- o...

dc42- Thanks for your post. I have not tried, but I certainly will.

Tincho85- I have 2 previous posts that provide detail and how I generate the charts. Both post titles begin with "Tower Rotation Study".

Tried some additional tower rotations [Alpha A(210)] today centering around the previous best Alpha A of 210.4
The new champion on my machine is 210.425.

See the attached.

Hello- I too have been experiencing issues with printing at the outer radii of the bed. I read several posts on this forum and decided to do a little data gathering and post the results on this forum. Some baseline definitions, so we aren’t operating on assumptions: The “X” tower is located to the l...

End game: ain't smart enough to reverse engineer. 1) trying to understand the effects of tower rotation in a somewhat comprehensive way and 2) provide a tool where others can analyze the performance of their RMax and make appropriate adjustments and see what those adjustments do. In short, just shar...

I modified the script for radius=100mm so the dial indicator lifts between each reading. More accurate readings. The graph and .xls are the latest data and represent my final settings as of this writing. The Excel worksheet I used to collect data and develop the positioning statements in the script ...

I had this same problem. My nozzle had loosened and melted plastic was oozing out somehow and collecting on the sides and bottom of the heater block and then dropping onto my prints (burnt plastic). I fixed the problem by unmounting my e3dv6, heating the hotend to 250C and tightening the nozzle onto...

Thank you IMB for your reply- I am doing the Z-height by the manual using 24# paper (may need to go back to 20# paper). In other parts of this test print the plastic is very thin. The bed is at printing temp when I adjust height. I have done no extruder calibrations. Been running this beast for over...

Checked the play in the effector. I think my belts might need tightening after all... or something loose in the carriage-arm-effector subassembly. I won't be able to check it out and make adjustments for a week or so.

Wondering If Anyone Has Suggestions For Solving This PQ Issue... Towers are square with the built plate Height adjustment meticulously completed multiple times; problem persists End-stop switches mounting screws are tight and threadlocked Belts are tight Extruder hobbed-gear is clean with no embedde...

FINALLY found the Iris Box behind the Flatscreen stand.

First, sorry it has taken so long to reply. Can't provide a photo because my 2 YO granddaughter has sqiurreled it away somewhere. It is a design from Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:140048" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It went together very well with little o...

I don't have any experience with PETG although I have heard of it. The n-vent is quite strong, has exceptional layer-to-layer bonding and doesn't warp- all these are very attractive to me after having warping and delamination issues with ABS. Both n-vent and PETG are copolyesters. That's about all I...

Added a few photos of most recent prints.

I bought a spool of Taulman n-vent... VERY Pleased. Here are the specifics... Printing Environment and Pertinent Settings - Rostock max, v2 - Tricklaser carbon fiber arms - E3Dv6 (0.4mm nozzle) @ 260 C with no cooling fan blowing on the printed material - Nozzle height adjustments done according to ...

End stop screw on the carriages...

Turn R ight R aise the nozzle
Turn L eft L ower the nozzle.

Only way I can remember it.

Shout out to astroboy907. I IM'd him earlier today. He told me how to order and pay for the dampers. My wife placed the order since I was busy. JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION that the dampers have shipped. He checked my profile, noted the city and then checked with the shipper to see what was needed for...

Thanks to all who responded. Placing my order for the dampers now!

Hello- Question about Astrosyn dampers. When mounting the stepper motors in an unmodified RMax V2, the drive gears are all the way to the end of the motor shaft. When adding the dampers, which are 3/16" thick, the motor is moved away from the belt by 3/16 and there doesn't seem to be a way to c...

Yes it is expensive. I've attached an Excel worksheet with some pricing... fyi.

Should have posted this in "What are YOU making?" Sorry for that. Live and learn... do better next time.

When I introduced myself in the"New Member" section a couple days ago, I mentioned that I had come up with my own design for a quadcopter that I was going to print on the RMax. One of the replies requested photos when I got it printed and put together. Well, the RMax is still in the box, b...

Thanks to all who replied. I am relieved now. Wasn't sure if they were a subcontractor that might not have an incentive to do a quality job. Thanks again!

Received my RMaxV2 from Blackpoint Engineering in IN... who are they and how are they affiliated with SeeMeCNC?
