First Printer

[1ggy]

Hey all, I got my Max V2 at the beginning of June, put it together over a few days (and very late nights) with only a few minor hiccups. I successfully printed the PEEK fan shroud, but when I tried to print the cooling fan shroud there was too much heat build up. Anyways, I think I've finally got everything set up and calibrated as well as I can manage for the time, I plan to get my towers squared this weekend and ensure the hot end/bed thermistors are reading a somewhat accurate temperature. I've run a few small prints, mostly because I don't want to print anything too long while I'm away for fear of birdnesting while I'm gone. I've also printed a few prints at the far edges of the bed, and most of them adhered fairly well. Here's an album of most of the things I've printed so far.

About Me: I just graduated with a bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering, did some work with 3D printing for my senior design project because we had some excess funds to burn which is what got me interested in the first place. My school had an AMAZINGLY well calibrated Stratsys machine, so I'm a bit disappointed with my print quality at the moment, but I'll get it there eventually. Anyways, I hope I can be of some help to the community in the future.

Aerospace Engineering? Well funded School?
Definitely not Dowling, where I went to, that's for sure.
