Rostock Australia Signing in

[McSlappy]

My dad and I went halves in a Rostock Max a few months back and have been slowly piecing it together in between work. I amped up the progress since I got laid off last week, so it's almost done!
I blew up a hot end resistor and so am waiting on a few fuses (Please SeeMeCNC, include 2 spare fuses!)
This is my second 3d printer, the first was a Leapfrog Creatr - which ended up being a disaster (to be fair they replaced the whole machine for free). I learned a lot about printing during that ordeal, and so far I really like most of the design choices that SeeMeCNC have done. I'm looking forward to getting this thing running ASAP and learning more as I go.
My background is Graphical design, Industrial Design, Animation, 3D modeling, photography and bullshitting people. Now you'll all wonder which, if any, of these are actually correct

I hope to use my rostock to help prototyping things.

Isaac, I have already talked to you about the fuses and welcomed you to the forum and it is good to know that you are a bullshitter.
You will fit in here perfectly! We have quite a few users from down under just so you won't feel alone.
Happy Printing! (after you get the new fuses)

G'day fellow Aussie, I'm a n00b here myself but this is a pretty cool bunch of people with some solid feedback when things go wrong. Where in Oz are you?

[McSlappy]

Thanks Eagle, you have been most helpful and welcoming already!

Starfish - on the Sunshine Coast, you?

[Captain Starfish]

How far away could I be but still be on the same continent?

Over in Perth.

Yep pretty much couldn't be any further and on the same land mass Oh well, we have the solidarity of Australian spirit to guide us ever onward!
