I'll throw my experience into the pot. I had that exact style of separation when I first did a big print with thin walls on my Rostock Max V2. My fix was to set my hot end to 235 and my bed to 95 (which has resulted in nearly no separations mid-print from the build plate). The second thing I did was ...

Dear please if you mention the total weight. Khalid, sorry that I don't have a proper means of giving an accurate craft weight. I only have a scale that reads accurately up to 1kg. Maybe I should get that hanging scale I've been meaning to buy from HobbyKing... :) However, I modeled my design and ...

Glad I could help! Just don't forget to bring the PID Max Value back up to 255 when the PEEK fan is running! I ran autotune without raising the Max value back up and the hotend could only get up to ~160C. Thanks so much Geolupulus. I was pulling out my hair after messing up my PID hot end values. I ...

Hey guys, here's an update. I love my Rostock Max V2 because I can leave it alone for 2 weeks with the glue still on the plate, fire it up, and print quadcopter parts. Here's my progress :D [img]http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee44/Brazzle88/Quadcopter/20150929_162607_zps7kypwt4v.jpg[/img] A ...

@626: I'm staying in the gopro with stabilizing gimbal range of 1-2kg. When I had 10" props and 850 kv motors, I had approximately 8 minutes with a battery-less weight of 1.2kg. It didn't fly until 70+ percent throttle and when the motors heated up it would actually be closer to 85 which is almost ...

I've had my Rostock Max V2 since late november. It was my first 3D printer and I have been dabbling in quadcoptery since mid-2013 (although I was deployed for most of 2014). Flash forward to yesterday when I reassembled my quadcopter with new parts that I printed myself and I can honestly say that I ...

Beilmandesign,

That stuff looks great! Reminds me of my Warhammer days. I'm too caught up in work and quadcopters these days. Maybe one day I'll return to table gaming, still have all my stuff in boxes! As for the replicas, AWESOME!

Ben, Yeah that was my first foray into support material, as well as my first attempt at printing something other than the fan shrouds. You can see that it's some pretty tall support material. By the time it began to get printed on, the impacts of the printer and layer fan touching the curling pieces ...

Ben, I switched to PLA after printing the fan shrouds in ABS. Also, that convention makes more sense now, lol. Thanks for the clarification of where it is measured from. That said, I'm just assuming that my print wasn't allowing enough time for the overhangs to cool properly, and maybe I should have ...

Okay then I really need your advice guys. What you see in the first picture is a good example of the slop I was getting on overhangs. My settings were: PLA@ 30 mm/s print speed, 210 head and 60 bed. I had the layer fan on. I noticed pretty heavy curling on overhang edges, so much so that I often ...

Well I managed to click support material this time!

It popped off the plate later in the print and I first hit it with ...

Well Crafty, then anonymity is alive and well on the internet.

*Edit: oh you're in Australia. Nice

I drive up to Chapel Hill quite often, I'm actually closer to Sanford. I have a kitbashed quadcopter with a 3DR APM at the helm.

So for my first print after the two fan shrouds....I chose to make an Onyx for a friend. Sadly, I had not discovered the "generate support material" box. This was the onyx: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:208399 And this is how far I got before realizing this thing wasn't going to work without ...

Hi, I just got done printing my layer fan shroud for my Rostock Max V2, also my first ever experience seeing, using, and building a 3D printer. Whew, what a relief that it actually works, haha. I got this far without asking for assistance mainly due to how good the V2 and the accompanying build ...
