Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Just measured how far we are from the center of the heated bed. The hot end is 2 - 2.5 mm from the heated bed. (not 3-5 mm as previously mentioned). The X, Y, and Z are properly aligned.

Could this be related to the PRINTER_RADIUS EEPROM bug mentioned in a similar thread on the forums?

Yes we are using seemecnc firmware and have assembled a Rostock Max from the kit they sent us a couple of months ago. We have been using Geneb's second edition manual, and have downloaded the sofware as per his directions.

We are doing the final calibration of our Rostock Max...X, Y and Z all seem to be calibrating fine. But the #define PRINTER_RADIUS command does not seem to work. We changed this parameter down by .5, another .5, etc, but it does not seem to move. The head is still 3-5 mm above the bed. Any ideas on ...

Yes thanks Gene for all of your hard work. The rev of the manual answers many questions that we had. THANKS!

Thank you. Very helpful!

I am surprised that they don't post each subsequent revision of the docs on the SeeMeCNC website. If they do, it is not obvious where it is....

Hi there...we just downloaded v1.05 of the documentation and is says: "A quick note on the RAMBo, the controller for your Rostock MAX. The RAMBo is static sensitive, so please don't take it out of the static bag it ships in until you're ready to use it." We already took ours out of the bag (since ...

THANKS!!!

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an update to the documentation. We have been using the (near final) version of The Rostock MAX Assembly Guide, 2nd Edition, Version 1.00, May 8th, 2013. Is that the latest or is the a subsequent revision.

Thank you!

Does the kit come with zip ties to tidy up the stepper motor wiring?

Hello all, I forgot to take off the top layer of the melamine where applicable to create the counter sinks. Will this create problems with assembly or functionality or is it just an aesthetic choice? Should I unscrew the screws and create counter sinks? Also, what is the best way to create the ...

What do these numbers mean?

Geneb, The screws used to install the idler bearings are pan head in my kit whereas in your manual they are socket head. Also I have a few things to recommend: Diagrams with arrows showing where screws, bearings, nuts ect. go, a detailed crimping lesson, and as I said before, pictures of the ...

If any of you have diagrams like the ones that Eaglezsoar posted showing the rest of the parts included in the kit, I would like to have them.

Thank you so much, Eaglezoar! SeeMeCNC should definitely put that in their kits.

Hello all, I am assembling my Rostock MAX I bought at the Maker Faire, and I have found that the most excruciating part of this job has not been the actual hours spend building the printer, but the frustrating amount of time I have spent trying to match the screws and other small hardware that come ...

I got mine the maker faire.

Also could someone post a picture of what the washers look like and how they go on?

Hello all, On page 16 of the newest manual (the incomplete one) the author says that "I would recommend adding a #4 star lock washer in addition to thread locker when you perform the installation." when talking about installing the stepper motors. Which size and brand should I buy? I am not sure ...

Hello all, I am on the step of installing the stepper motors in the assembly and I am having trouble identifying the M3 x 10mm pan head screws. On the bill of materials it says there are 16, which makes sense because there are 4 stepper motors each with 4 holes, but I can only find one packet with ...

and thank you to the others on this thread for the helpful suggestions. We are members at Techshop Sf so maybe someone down there can help us. I am sure we can figure out how to build this, but the "time to value ratio" does not solve for me if I have to trouble shoot each step. I would prefer to ...

Hi there. My original comment was not intended to critique the documentation...more the "out of the box experience" as Steve Jobs would say. My apologies Gene if this seemed to specifically critique your work...not my intent. Having said that, and having worked as a software entrepreneur for over ...

Hi there. My 13 year old son and I have been working on assembling a Rostock Max, but due to the incomplete directions have been having a difficult time completing it. Is there anyone on the forum who lives in Northern California that is interested in becoming a consultant for us to finish our ...

Thank you both! Very helpful. Think we are getting it.

This would be very useful info for the next rev of the assembly manual.
