Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

What's your current cost estimate? I know on my machine builds, after you've got motors, a controller, a hot-end, LCD screen, an extruder, etc it adds up quickly. My goal (and I don't consider this a success unless I hit this) is under $500+shipping complete with quality parts. That would include t...

Hi everyone, I am inquiring if anyone has tried this.. at some point in a print have the gcode pause a few mm higher than the print then begin to invert each arm then resume printing from paused location then pause at the end of print so you can cool and remove part and manually realign the arms to ...

I think it would depend on your Nozzel size - bigger tends to not jam as much. I have used both hotends - well specifically I've combined e3D's Volcano heating blocks and nozzels with their Kraken! I'm loving the speed for bigger prints. I have .4 and 1.2 mm E3D nozzels and a .3mm nozzle for Prometh...

Hi Guys, just successfully duel printed with my Kraken! No issues, well except for length of retraction I still have to adjust - I have volcano kraken hybrid! With the default calibration block in MatterControl it would normally take 35 min with the standard setting with a .3mm nozzle and the Volcan...

[quote="JFettig"]I spent a ton of time digging around in different threads and the firmware trying to figure out what I need to do to get my new dual extrusion setup working correctly. Here is the one stop shop: I followed your exact instructions but in the end it wasn't working and then I...

I spent a ton of time digging around in different threads and the firmware trying to figure out what I need to do to get my new dual extrusion setup working correctly. Here is the one stop shop. Thank you for putting all the Duel Extrusion info in one place! I tried this setup and most of it works ...

Here are a couple examples of what I'm working on to get the Kraken working in a smaller, compact effector with common features such as fan shroud and LED built in. Bungie cables have been added, these ones in particular can be latched on easily and adjusted on the fly. Please excuse the poor image ...

Hey cool! I am working on an effector but plan to mill it in aluminum. Cheers, Michael Did you manage to create/mill your Aluminum effector? I have a design/Stl that reclaims the full Z space using magnetic arms with space underneath for the Halo LED light and a fan shroud built right into the effe...

I was thinking of a direct drive system as well and what I concluded might have to happen - if I were to do this is to mount either surgical rubber hose or a spring inside the cable management hose with just enough tension to lift the weight upward to the Rostock ceiling (perhaps just to lift the ca...

If the belt isn't trim enough it can get caught when the print rises quickly and if the belt isn't tight enough it can slip. If the print surface wasn't layered smooth enough with fresh glue..sometimes too much glue can offset a lump in the layers printed and end up making plastic balls/lint that th...

Is there another computer you could use to try loading firmware? The problem seems to most likely be a defect in the Rambo, but it wouldn't hurt to eliminate the computer as the cause. I just caught something last night after "more frequent breaks" of ABS being fed into the Ezstruder (mot...

Yes it was the same error message as I recall.

I would try clearing the eeprom data and installing the .91 repetier software found on the seemecnc github. Thanks Eaglezsoar, this is what I've been running since first firmware upload/install. I'm using the Rostock Max Rev 7 which uses a Rambo V3. The power supply is a nice 600 Watts . Since the ...

Today I tried a different slicer (CuraEngine) and everything was going very well -THEN.. approximately 30 minutes into the print it froze.. I am starting to think it might be a hardware problem.. I will try Matter control again.. I keep having problems with it (tears through the prints) -I probably ...

Ok tested it: SD card does not make a difference. I'm thinking maybe it's Slic3r I'm currently using V 1.1.7 that was bundled with Repetier-Host.. I'm going to try the separate Slic3r program.. my os & hardware is 64 bit as well.. not too sure if that makes a difference except for slicing speed ...

The reset button DOES work, but because of how the little arm of plastic moves, you need to press pretty firmly for it to actually actuate the switch. g. Yes the reset does work but not when this freeze/error occurs. I am using a gaming laptop Asus G75V, able to run Maya 2014, Oculus Rift etc it's ...

Anyone know what's causing this? The printer suddenly stops 30+ minutes into the print..stepper motors spin quickly.. I press reset on the LCD nothing happens.. I push emergency stop in Repetier-Host and then it stops. The print job is basically destroyed.. the hot end melts the print adding a plast...

Same thing happened here, blown the fuse and switched places on the board to test them. This is because of the wires dangling. A good reminder in the manual would be helpful but then again if we had the fan shrouds in the first place this wouldn't be an issue either. I also melted the peek area not ...

Same problem.. I set my hotend to 240 C and it melted the Peek. It's so messed up that I don't even have the ability to print a mod to use a different hot end mod.

Had a few issues so far that slowed me down quite a bit. 1. The manual has so much to read through and much filtering through revisions. I believe It would be best if the manual was split into each revision. - also the current manual does not provide a revision for Rev7 that I bought. My electrical ...

Shrinkage itself isn't a big deal. What it results in can be, shrinkage of hot plastic deposited on cooler plastic can cause warping of the model which gets worse as models get bigger. You cannot counter this with software. The other people people blame on shrinkage is holes coming out undersized, ...

http://www.pixologic.com I am surprised this program wasn't on the list! It is a leader in sculpting hard and soft shapes - Heavily Used for modelling in the toy, Jewellery, Game and Film Industry.

Just like the subject implies, it would be great to integrate Automatic scaling algorithms based on a filament's known shrinking values to get a more precise printing/engineering match. Currently I am waiting for my printer to be shipped then built.. I have no experience printing and don't know if t...
