Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

A few notes on the past few months: - SeeMeCNC's decision to stop selling the acrylic kit: as a owner of said kit, good decision. If I could do it over again, I would have gone with the wood version. - EZStruder: I had Steve's Extruder working and was not terribly unhappy with it. But, this was a ...

Things I encountered or noted that might be worth mentioning: - Routing the belts was a bit of a pain. Rather than a paper clip or the like to pull the belt through the carriage holes, I used tools similar to these (although Cobalt brand) and it went much better: http://www.ruralking.com/tools ...

RE: t-nuts I went back and looked through the UM - I see mention of a "don't fold" if you have the Melamine version (section 7.3 in the Installation of the RAMBO) but no other mention of it that I could find. Maybe that was covered in a video build or fell out of the UM at some point? For the heated ...

(slow progress due to a unrealistic work schedules) First, on the shipping-created crack in the base-plate. I used a "plasti-aid" glue to fix it up and it seems good. I do want to mention John @ SeeMeCNC responded within minutes to my email to support (@11PM central no less) and offered to send out ...

Thanks MSB. Yeah, I'll drop them a note just to let them know it happened and my suspicion that stacking three spools in a tower on the cut plates is probably not wise. But I think it will "repair" easy enough with some plastic weld / glue. I'll wait to get that done and cured before I drill the ...

Step 1 of the assembly.. "oh no.. what's this?" IMG_20130306_202112_116.jpg Closer look: IMG_20130306_202121_889.jpg A disappointing find. But on the plus side, there's only a ridge on one side so the crack doesn't go all the way through. And it's on the base, so I don't think it would be visible ...

Items floating in the larger box (minus the 3 spools of ABS - maybe should have shipped those separate): Smaller box (electronics, motors, arms, etc): Larger box (add-a-struder + motor, LCD, Onyx, pen-holder):

And so it begins...
Peanuts..[20 minute interlude to collect static-charged peanuts and bag them].

I would have paid extra to get bubble wrap instead.

Reading the thread reminded me that I had seen "dampers" offered while sourcing steppers for my CNC build.

I found these guys to be quite helpful and they have a different solution for dampening which might be of interest: http://www.linengineering.com/contents/ ... ories.aspx
