hello everyone!
Just ordered myself a Rostock MAX kit and am eagerly anticipating the build and a new bot in the house!
I've have a Makerbot Replicator 1 since it launched a few years ago and although it's produce stellar prints and I've modified almost every bit of it to make it far superior than its initial design, I'm jumping off the MBI boat. I'm tired of replacing its mightyboard every few months since MBI has long since forgotten about this machine and hasn't addressed its critical design flaw (easily shorted end stops blow up its 5V reg among other problems) so I'm hopefully going to head to greener pastures.
I've been doing some reading and decided to purchase one of these kits since it looks like it offers up a lot of what I had with my Replicator in addition to being a delta bot and a much larger build volume!
