Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

The finished "The Bandit" Rostock Max V2

The first printout was peek fan attachment, it was using some support and it was a mistake!!
Second printout was the TreeFrog; this was made me buy a Rostock in the first place, the Da Vinci just does not cut it!!
It it working wonderfully

The third printout was the peek fan shroud again with Kisslicer and no support and it is very good...
Can hardly see the filament layers!!!

SUCCESS!!!!!

Made a funnel today so it will be easier finding the hole!

Had to draw it in openscad first and export it as .stl...

I've got some 60mm LED's to mount on the hot end with magnets.

I used the Magnetic Mount from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:388041

and the lights from http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271455697293

and magnets from http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180931843414

crocky that is a great idea to use magnets to hold the LED lights.
I think I may be following your lead and make one of those, Thanks!

Still testing here!

Printed this adaptor for the Rostock tonight, haven't used slicer before and it looks fairly good for a first go..


Still waiting for the magnets to arrive

The dreaded Da Vinci spool holder

My first introduction into 3D printing was thru a Da Vinci printer, it did not take too long to realise that the filament cost was going to be the killer. This thing allows the use of an external spool
I have build quite a few of them but this one appears to be the best (so far), took a long (12 hours +) time to print

That looks like a fine print job!
Congrats!

Probably a little too fine....

Looks good though, just a little touch up with some sand paper and it will be good to go

just did the done thing and loaded Yosemite, now to see what works

Might print a Yoda!

Yoda works...

As long as the rostock works, Yosemite appears fine....

The magnets have finally arrived so it looks like I will be busy today

I have got to disturb the head to fit the fan anyway so I will fit the LED ring at the same time. I will attach the LED ring to the magnet ring with double sided tape. Now where is the toolbox!!!!

Well the ring of magnets didn't hold the lights up, even went to putting two on each place and still would not manage to hold the lights correctly.

Second go with cable ties were fine, little bit of pulsing as things get warmed up... Overall good little project with 60mm angel eyes.
Managed to get the fan fitted to. Took me a fair while to recalibrate the head/effector......

First print with all of the new gear fitted, no support either. Could probably use just a bit around the neck. Super fine Kisslicer and McSlappy glow filament.

looks good man, I was wondering how you connected the power for the led

Looking good! Love the mods you've made!

(I posted this earlier but the forum or my internet lost it apparently...)

The power just comes from the peek fan, when it comes on.... So do the lights

Hi Isaac, the mods are working good now...

Had the hot end lose the power connection a day or so ago, had to redo the connector at the cartridge... First print happening now, should be okay now that the exercise and recalibration are complete.

So the connector came loose?

I had mine work harden and snap the layer fan cables a week or so ago... Totally my fault since I didn't secure them well and they were hitting the arms as it ran :/
I knew it would happen, but I guess I kept putting it off long enough that they finally did....

What am I doing with it now?

Give you a hint.....
McSlappy the extruder arrived today

I have been playing with mattercontrol, that item was sliced with sli5er and the whole job done with the latest Mac version of MC. It is starting to look good now that it works.

I have also printed the M3 hot end bracket, not cleaned up yet...

dual extruder motors

Well after a few weeks getting some skin cancers removed off both arms and my face I have managed to get back to the printer, still got the stitches in but the mind is better when I have other things to do

I ended up setting the printer up again from scratch and it was really worth the exercise, the Budda is really well printed.

I obviously missed a few steps in my haste to get printing the first time!

Still have heaps of projects to do

thats why i wear suntan lotion when go out dont wanna get that, good thing they caught it though
budda looks good to

That t-rex looks good

Must have taken a while to print that out.

The cancers are a by product of sunburn that I got probably about 40 years ago when living in North Queensland.

Just started a 23 hour print.....

Hey man looking good! I've printed a dual extruder mount as well, though my machines have been running so much lately I haven't had a chance to install them First world problem I know

You've probably already beat me to dual extruders, so let me know how that goes!
