Happy New Rostock Max V2 owner

Post by bobunobu »

Just finished building my kit and printing the first object, the Peek Fan. Other than a little problems with the overhangs, it turned out pretty good. Once I trimmed the little bits off, the fan slid right in and then the whole thing just snapped into the hotend mount. Next up, i'm going to be doing 626Pilots Dimensional Accuracy calibration routine. Are there any others that I should be doing?

And the new printer in action:

I have a stand coming for it, so that I can get it up off the floor.

This is my second printer and first Delta. The first is and ORD BOT Hadron that I have been using for several years now. I have only printed in PLA in the past, so this is going to be a learning experience for me.

This forum has already been a big help while I was building this printer. I'm looking forward to continuing my 3D printing education here.

Hi bobunobu and welcome to the forum!

As long as you completed the calibration in the assembly manual then you should not have to use anything to
re-calibrate but tweaking it with 626Pilots Dimensional Accuracy calibration routine could possibly be of benefit.
Large overhangs such as you see on the fan shroud can benefit from using support to help hold the overhang.

If using PLA then a layer fan and possibly supports should be used.
The print looks good with exception of the overhang portion and if that is ABS then supports would help.
The printer you posted the picture of looks great and shows you paid attention to detail and are proud of the work
you do and you have every reason to be proud. We appreciate you using this forum for education but we are also
here to solve problems and if you see a problem posted that you think you can help with, jump in with your answer!
HAPPY PRINTING!!
