Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

New problem:

It seems like the carriage trucks will not shut. Also, I can't seem to get the screws all the way in. They are go in a out 1/4" and stop (halfway)

Thanks for that info.

I think I'll let it ride for right now, do a few hours of printing and check for wear. I also ran wiring for led lights in that tube, so I might run one wire down each of the other two tubes, as they have a tad more room. If I every go for dual extrusion I'll have to figure out a different way to ro...

Maybe you can see the threaded part poking through on the other side in this picture:

Yes, it is installed. I am touching it with my rods.

Also, the manual doesn't say how much wire to leave on either end of the extrusions, what's your recommendation on that?

Thanks!

Ran into my first issue. Seems like there isn't enough Clarence on the z axis. the wires want to rub against the black belt guide..

Like so:

Also, an 11mm socket seems to be the perfect tap to set the bearings in those selves.... I can tap just the outer ring this way.

So far so good. Lost one of the Rambo mounts last night, spent 1/2hr searching last night and 15 minutes today. Decided to say f' if and put the support plate on without it. Turns out it a bit of the laminate covering was still on the peice and it got stuck to the underside of the base plate. Found ...

Paint is done, turned out pretty good. I am gonna wait for it to cure a bit before I take out any more of the tape inside the lettering.

I got all the peices out and shellaced them... I'm a few minutes, I'm gonna paint them (the shellac says I can paint in in one hour) my hands smell like smoke bbq mmmmm I don't think the glow affect is going to be that glowy. I did a test on a sheet of paper last night and you really have to hold it...

Here we go..

We are gonna be co building, my Rostock has been delivered and is sitting at home waiting for me..

My advice is to get good tools(or already have them)

Got the dew's in the fridge. I use the bottom for filament storage. I have a mini-dehumidifier inside to keep things nice and dry.

I had meant to ask about that caulk actually. It says 100% RTV silicone. It says it's rated up to 400degrees F http://www.dap.com/dap-products-ph/automarine-100-rtv-silicone-sealant/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Does that sound like it will work? Oh, and i do have Kapton ...

The magnet idea is un-patentable. Raymond May is an example of prior art in the domain, while JJ's would also serve as prior art blocking Makerbot's patent. This isn't even getting into the magnetic bases used for physics experiments, which is where Raymond's design came from. Thus, the "inven...

Pregaming.

So I finally got it all figured out... Even color mixing... Here's a video of me explaining everything I have done so far... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z_21b3xl20&feature=youtu.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Here's a few pics of somethings I designed and print...

There are several different effector platforms at seemecnc store.. Which one do I need?

Give some thought to first building and using the kit hot end... (I find it much easier to get good results with it using PLA than the e3d...it can be tricky dialing in things like retracts with it) the e3d has been great with the Talman nylon for example... ABS has been fine with both of them so b...

Hello I'm Mike From VA beach. Excited is the word i would use. I had a Replikeo I3 prior to deciding to invest in a Rostock V2. It was OK for what it was, but it suffered a failure when some ABS broke off my print and jammed into the fan, and melted the ABS all the way up the bowden tube! While i wa...
