Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I'd just buy 2 Max's :) There are tons of upgrades and mods that you can do, but the stock machine is really quite capable out of the box (once assembled, of course). With the exception of the motors dampers (which are much easier to install during assembly), I'd keep the money and learn the machin...

Good Luck

If you have calibrated it correctly it should be fine!

Still testing here!

Printed this adaptor for the Rostock tonight, haven't used slicer before and it looks fairly good for a first go..


Still waiting for the magnets to arrive

just testing a bit.

ABS with too low a temperature at the hotend, 215 was not enough... 230 and it is fine!

Good Luck...

Slowly is the way to go and read everything two or three times

You can make some wonderful things with them...

Well I've got two rolls of tape but no pei yet and they were ordered on the same day

From the write ups it seems like the way to go, I do a lot of reading and just had say something just so you would know we are here watching what you are doing

I'd go here http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=6081" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Dampers are one of the best mods you can do.... The power supply that comes in the kit is fine, the newer kits have much better breathing holes now... I did a 10 hour print yesterday and it was all good. I did the Heater Cartridge and screw in thermistor for the hot end and they are nice mod as well...

Hahah no worries! You should be proud of it because you made it work! All submissions are welcomed. My space is VERY cramped too. Actually I just measured, It's essentially 4ft x 11 ft.... Hah! And it houses a lot. Here is a sneak peak of the setup so far: IMG_1145.JPG Mine looked just like that :)

You will enjoy it, this is one of the best sites around

Do a LOT of reading and you should have no problems!

Lots of pics is the way to go

I'm just sitting here watching a print, fascinating!!!

Welcome aboard, it is a real nice journey

I've got some 60mm LED's to mount on the hot end with magnets. I used the Magnetic Mount from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:388041" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and the lights from http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271455697293" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Made a funnel today so it will be easier finding the hole!

Had to draw it in openscad first and export it as .stl...

Thanks for your settings, it sure makes it easy when we have people like you here

I got a licence too...

Just trying a large owl without support and at 150% speed, wheeee!!

The third printout was the peek fan shroud again with Kisslicer and no support and it is very good...
Can hardly see the filament layers!!!

SUCCESS!!!!!

The first printout was peek fan attachment, it was using some support and it was a mistake!!
Second printout was the TreeFrog; this was made me buy a Rostock in the first place, the Da Vinci just does not cut it!!
It it working wonderfully

The finished "The Bandit" Rostock Max V2

*** MODs to Rostock Max V2 kit Painted the edges orange, not really necessary and it is kind of rough! Named the thing The Bandit, something to do with me being one armed! Fitted the dampeners to the three steppers in the base, really makes a huge difference to the noise. Changed the Rambo fan for a...

Having just built and successfully tested a Rostock Max V2 from a wheelchair I have got say one thing about the Manual "It is very complete" thank you geneb. Sure there are faults with some pics, a little effort can generally overcome those problems and if you can't you have a wonderful co...

Thanks.....

You will have heaps of FUN

My test print will be the treefrog.... The da vinci prints them but not very well.

One hour is not too bad then, I don't like the slicer that it uses so mine is imported to repetier as g-code after I slice in kisslicer.

Got to take little bit more wood off the power supply board, the stepper in that position is too noisy.. must be still touching!

I'm just printing one now as well.

I am using kisslicer (reg) and it is building some support structure?

Be interesting to see how it goes, it is definitely a lot quieter than the da vinci and it looks real nice

How long did it take to print, this is going take about and hour?

Well it is finally done and currently printing the fan shroud :) There is a few funny pops as it is going along but I will leave it while it is happily printing. The setting was a fun exercise for a wheelchair bloke, go to the printer and set some paper then back to the computer and...... on it went...
