Another 3d printer Guy

Post by Prozac »

Ive been waiting and the day has come , Im ready to order myself a 3d printer and the choices were Max and CLear , but regardless of the autoleveling / calibrating Kossel , I couldnt pull my self away from the looks and the community that seemecnc has to offer. Looking forward to learning and sharing , and learning some more.

Not sure why you say auto leveling and auto calibrating kossel. All of these delta printers run the same firmware - Marlin or Repetier being the most popular. Both have experimental auto calibrating code. Some of us have experimented with it but in all reality, it still needs some work The Kossel Pro and others don't have any secret sauce for auto calibration. Once you get your printer going, give it a shot. More info here: http://deltabot.tumblr.com

Welcome to the forum. They are coming out with a new printer about the size of the Rostock Max you might want to look at before buying the Rostock Max.

I just wanted to make sure that you knew they were coming out with a new model so you didn't kick yourself later. Enjoy your new printer!
