Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Found answer to my question in other posts. if you have a multimeter, measure the resistance of the heating resistors of the hotend... either at the crimps or the end of the wires.. you should get 3-4 ohms, if you get a reading of 8 or higher ohms, one of the heating resistors is out.. Guanu Guess n...

Hello, Still rocking original Rostock v2. During a print my temperature dropped and stayed steady around 150. Later testing trying to heat it up to 200degree (C) failed and it wouldn't heat up above 150C. :( Suspecting one of the Thermal resistors (8R6) failed. measuring them in parallel gave a resi...

Update: i lowered/ricalibrated the Z height again and it did the trick
So quick question, after i set the new z zero height, i have to store it to EEPROM to have the settings after shutdown, is that correct?

Hello, recentrly i have been experiencing a rather dissappointing first layer, not beeing filled completly till the edges and having airgaps. So i ricalibrated z height and tighten the belts. First print turned out great and then print after print it got worst again, what can it be? I used always th...

Oh there is a new guide, thanks:D,and new software, do you recommend mattercontrol over cura? ( i started with repetier with slic3r, but it had very un-logical slicingpaths and crashed couple of times,) Yes when i build it i did all the calibrations including the horizontal radius, i will print a cu...

Hello guys, so i have had the rostock max v2 for more then a year now, and i'm still not able to get good prints somewhat consistently, always having to tweak and retry which gets quite frustrating at times. So this print just finished and i am somewhat happy with it, can be improved with sanding bu...

??what?, omg? why? :O
also the peekfan holder was printed whitout peekfan???
i'm not using it at all at the moment... does it overheat??
the print seems to be doing fine

Thanks for the quick response, i think i solved the problem, I found out where to reduce the peekfanspeed, also run the PID auto-tune again, with the fan they old ones where completely off. Btw which temperatures do you rekkomend, or is there another post? cant find it. thanks again so much! Love th...

Hi, i recenly finished the printer, now i mounted the peekfan( the original one didn't work, so had to find anotherone, which i think is slightly more powerful old one was 0.1 amper, mine now has 0.26A). now when i try to print the hotend reaches barely 180C.with the fan going full speed i think. do...

HI guys, just installed the peek fan, not the original one, and it is really loud! and soo fast. how can i reduce its speed??

thanks

Hurray, found the problem! the tower wasnt mounted in all the way tho the stopscrew

D: help, pls, I'm trying to calibrate the printer. I set the lowest Z hight and then went on calibrating the Z hights close to the towers, Z and Y seem to be ok and it touches the paper, but when i do the same procedure with the X tower it stops about 5mm over the bed!!! dont understand why, repeate...

Hello!!
just competed the build!!!
now i'm setting up the software, installed everything.
now I'm on repetier and manually moving, but the motors seem very loud, almost as they are forcing to much, is it normal or may i have tighten the belts to much?
pls quick response thanks!

Build going on great! IMG_1298.JPG Towers: mounted! endstops: Why does it say to bend the endstops?? to me it seems to fit much better with the straight contacts!! belts: mountes! hotend: almost, the temperature sensor was almost coming out, the little trasparent isolating tubes of it moved and expo...

Wow, those are some really nice prints! Great job!

I'm still mounting my Rostock.

Hey, nice work, im still quite far from that point, but building is fun. checklist completed: - pass cables in the towers ( i dont recommend to pass the endstopcables one by one, i used the bare wire and pulled them trough) - solder heated bed (not easy, i suck in soldering, electrician friend saved...

Hello, my printer arrived, finally I had some problems with the costumes, in fact they still have my filament :/ hoping to get it soon. just started to put together the Rostock v2! :) soooo exited todays session: - first of all checked all the parts, counting screws and Co, nothing missing! exactly ...

Thanks for the quick responses and great advice. I'm pretty confident on getting the max v2 which now seems to be shipping. I had a look at the filament and WOW, too many to choose from. Does the kit come with a spool of fil.? Which do you recomend for starting and what are the differences? (maybe t...

Hi everyone, I'm really amazed by 3D printing :o like a little kid and thinking of getting the Rostock Max v2. is it already available? How is the international shipping? I have been looking around for a 3D printer for several months now, all kind of different designs. I also thought of building one...
