Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hi there!

I got the 3D printing fever past February and bought myself a Rostock Max (acrylic kit, very neat!). However, I had to put it aside for several months incomplete (sight!).

Finally, a month ago I finished it and, after a stepped learning curve, I finally produced my first printing ... this is SO AMAZING!

I just wanted to say hello to this great community, I'd been reading all the info collected here; without that, I would be in the total darkness yet. Not that I'm in the bright side now, but at least I can see that there is a light at the end of a looooooong tunnel ahead

By the way, thanks to Gene for the Assembly Guide (I started building with his version 1 and finished using the edition 2). I welcomed a lot the approach of using a yardstick for setting the height, it was an incredible help!

Happy printing!

Hi Artexmg!

Welcome to the forums! I wanted the Acrylic kit really bad, but they discontinued them by the time I bought mine. They look totally sweet and i could just just imagine what they would look like with LEDs strategically placed around them.

Never tought about the LEDs ... humm ... now I'm thinking!

Apparently lasercutting acrylic puts off some pretty nasty fumes, and there's spatter that damages laser lenses and mirrors. I understand why they stopped cutting them, but I agree that it would look sweet!

Plus, it has craking problems (myself broke +5 pieces when building). So, I was lucky getting it on time
