Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Ok Gene that is the move I will make. Now regarding octoprint I also run that through the Raspberry pi 3 too correct? I'm considering getting the CR-10 as a third machine can I run two machines off one Pi?

Thanks I'm going to look into it. Is there a specific one I need and does this pretty much run the printer since the raspberry pies are computers ?

Oh my how dare you Gene ! once you go Mac you don't go back. but ok I will look into it I also still have an Old Pc I guess I could use if need be.

Hey everyone just purchased a form 2 to accompany my v1 max when I get it back up and rolling let me know if anyone needs any prints done won't charge much more than material costs for forum members that have contributed. Instagram page is @vaughnghosindustries.com
Happy printing

Wow just now seeing this almost a year later, so sad to hear this just checked my phone contacts and Carl is the gentleman who I talked to on the phone for at least an hour when I first got my V1

A great man who has left us but gone someplace better

Hey Gene just checked it out man a bit expensive for the board. I recently purchased a Form2 and really don't want to invest too much into the Rostock past the upgrades I've already done

Gene its great to still see you here my man. When I first got my machine your posts and work was invaluable. I will look into it. Do you think it is worth putting anything else into this machine?

Not sure if anyone ever looks at this section anymore unfortunately I've got a V1 Rostock max that has upgrades still all the original electronics. It will not connect to my new touch bar MacBook Pro with the USBc ports. I do use an adapter, from what I can see the computer does recognize that there ...

Received the new block today!

A PT100 is a high temperature RTD sensor. However, it needs a specific amplifier board to talk with the Rambo, and either Repetier .92, or a custom thermistor table (Or marlin). I use them on my hotends. They are nice, but expensive to work with (~20 per sensor, ~25 for the board, but very ...

Did you accidentally get a PT100 block? That's an interesting hiccup if so. On the bright side, you can use the Volcano somewhat even while waiting for the right part to come in. Never heard of them having issues like that before though. Yes that's what tims email to me states that it's a pt100. No ...

Well well look what arrived today! https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ql42vzm81zeo5q/Photo%20Apr%2019%2C%207%2013%2014%20PM.jpg?dl=0 And yes they included the gummy bears The sour bears are the best!!!! Yes I would agree with that, I'm actually very sour it looks like I wasn't sent the correct heating ...

Well well look what arrived today!

And yes they included the gummy bears

It will be nice to see what they come out with.

Ordered my e3d from filastruder about 149 an some Change excellent customer service

It lets you extrude a lot more plastic (high flow). It lengthens the melt zone by a lot and it includes larger nozzles (.4mm to 1.2mm are available) so you can print really high strength standard resolution parts or even higher strength low resolution parts really really quickly (using the .8mm ...

Ok cool looks like I'll be dropping the coin tonight
Can you explain in more detail what the point of it is again?

Should I get the kit with the volcano?

Xenocrates mentioned the Pico, I was a backer on the campaign. The machining is beautiful, on par or better than E3D, but im not a fan of how it performs. The body is stainless so the heating is sort of weird and uneven and it makes unloading and loading filament a pain. The nozzle is a good angle ...

Ok awesome thanks for the replies you all are why I love owning a Rostock, sounds like the move to make is to get an all metal hot end like the e3d hotness and then upgrade the stock hotels for use with PLA. The. Some how create an easy way to swap between the two. Is there anyway to save the ...

Hey all. I've got myself a Rostock max v1 with the Ez extruder, new arms (ball joints) and new injection molded carriages. But I've found the v1 hot end I have is just old and dated been printing abs since I purchased it and I would like to get into pla and ptle I think it's called. Basically ...

Mistake is can't paste and copy like the instructions say.

Manually need to type it in

FWIW I run MatterControl on my mac (an 09 iMac running Yosemite) with a v1 Max running Repetier 0.91 firmware via a 5m USB cable and don't have any problems at all. So it's possible to get everything right. Thanks captain that is pretty much my set up. attempting now to set it up but I've got an ...

I think I am going to continue to just disconnect and connect until its fully set up and hope that its just a setting that i had left over from before causing it to crap out on me after clicking manual control too much. Stay tuned

Crap it did it again, Oh well this sucks i was exited for a new program to run the printer

Ok maybe i got it, it seems once it switched ports its good. i tell yah. I work for apple but this 3d printer is teaching me so much regarding core computer stuff. Now to get this thing back up and running!!

thanks you two, both of you are amazing
