Brand new Rostock Max v2!

[OptimusPrint]

I recently finished building my max with Geneb's help! That guy is a whiz!! He even avoided making fun of me when I cut the filament tube in half, cut the 22ga instead of 18ga, using O instead of 0 in gcode, and lastly-heating my hot end to 267c (FYI-setting max temp in gcode to 300 has no failsafe...gcode is wayyyy too trusting of me!)

Anyhow, I have been a printing machine for the last 48 hours. Gene's calibration tips at the end of the menu are crucial. I think I have gained hours and hours due to his advice.
I hope to be a positive member of the forum. Thanks for all your posts, they've been useful.

Welcome to the zoo! I'm glad you enjoyed the class.

Just FYI, regular heating commands will be limited by the max temp setting, but for some reason the M303 auto-tune process doesn't obey it. That's why when you entered M303 S300, it went on it's merry way.

Post pics of the stuff you're printing!

I've been playing with temps, speed multiplier, extrusion multiplier, and z height. I've also had two of the upper bearings bolts come loose and crash prints. On the other hand, I have successfully finished an eight hour print for that matter control mount. I put all five parts on the bed at once. So far, I think it's printing pretty well, but I'm a neophyte! Thanks again, Gene!

Looks great! Thanks for the pics.
