Re: Printing stops!

Sure- I will take a few pics of the setup and right after it jams again. I just don't know why this would happen at the exact same spot every time- especially since nothing other than the hotend has been changed from the perfection it used to produce!

Printing stops!

Hi Everyone, I have a Rostock Max v2(with the older arms). I have always had great luck and constantly impressed everyone that saw the prints it knocked out. I moved it from my shop to my house and it sat at my house for a good 3 months before I got the print bug and set it all up again. I used the ...

Re: Odd printing on certain items!

I have another issue that I just realized- no matter what I print, it seems like the slot for the fan is too small and I have to file it, or if I printed legs for a tripod it doesn't quite fit... Well last night my friend printed the exact same file that I did and his tripod legs are half an inch lo...

Re: Beta Tester Thread

I am definitely down to test this out! Being an Electrical Engineering graduate and working for a major pharmaceutical company as the Director of Biotechnology Systems, I think I could provide a thorough test!

I will watch for the form!

Re: Extruder Calibration

Hi Rampeh, Yes, I followed the manual to a tee and installed the latest firmware, i think .91? Something like that. I have continued to mess with the settings and actually think i have got it pretty good! Kinda hard to see the layers in this Glow in the Dark filament, but it really does look nice. [...

Re: Extruder Calibration

1. EXTRUSION AMOUNT TEST- What is the best way to make sure when I send the command to extrude 100mm it actually does 100mm? I tried marking the filament with a start and 100mm mark and lining it up to the top of the Bowden connector and hitting the +100. The thing that surprises me is that it only...

Re: Heatbed to 24V Question

Hi Dirk But my 24V-Source is constant current limiting. It will hold 24V and limiting to 10Amps max constantly. Should work I guess. If your power supply really is built for permantly limiting current, then that should be OK. The thing is, though, the only way the power supply can limit the current...

The only time I have ever seen all blocks is when the wrong firmware was installed, or not installed at all.

Re: Rostock Max V2 issue!

Hi Brian, thanks for the reply.

I actually ended up running new, larger wire from the bed to the RAMBO last night, I wasn't able to test it because I blew one of those nano fuses screwing with the power wires... Hopefully Radio Shack has those!
