YES! THANK YOU!!!

More questions: #1 --> When tightening the six screws which hold the Onyx in place, would a little bit of thread lock be desired? #2 --> At the top of page 85 "Pull enough of the 18ga wire so that the end coming out of the “top” comes within about 6” of the “bottom” of the tower. This will give...

I'm back from the wedding - finished step #5 today

Woo hoo!

. . . another detour but a great one: going to my son's wedding - will see y'all again Tuesday!

Whew!

I'm stopping at page 68 . . . ready for step 5 on Thursday . . . dang I love building this thing!

Thanks

I found a half-used tube of blue Lotite so that's good

I'll shrink wrap the spade lugs - thank you

I'm on page 53, Installing the Drive Gears on the Stepper Motors Question #1 --> Is red thread lock okay or do I have to go to Home Depot and buy some blue? Question #2 --> My vice-grips clamping of the spade lugs was not successful so I soldered the wires to the spade lugs - could this possibly cau...

On page 43, would it be clearer to indicate . . . . The feet are installed on the bottom of the Base Bottom Plate. The design of the Base Bottom Plate causes it to have asymmetric features – this means that if you were to bisect the plate down the center, the left & right “halves” wouldn't be a ...

I finished up to page 43, Installing the Feet and then I remembered I haven't finished peeling off all the covering from the Melamine . . . the Five Stages of Masking Tape is for real . . . all I'm sayin . . .

I hope my suggestion wasn't negative because I write instructions for a living - lots of instructional documents, so I can realize this build manual is phenomenal!

I believe I found a boo-boo in the instructions: Page 30 reads "Before we start on this, I'd like tighten the nozzle that's installed in the hot end. Grip the hot end by the heater block as shown below and gently tighten the nozzle with a 5/16” wrench." I am fairly certain that should be a...

No . . . I wasn't abducted by aliens from another galaxy . . . just sorting out "curve balls" life throws my way . . . I hope to resume the build soon . . . am I the only person this has happened to? It's awesome to see fast builds - encouraging - but I have a more than full time job (as m...

Yep - got the PermaTex Ultra Copper High Temp RTV and the Kapton tape is ordered (can't find that crap at Walmart - nope)

Just ran into "Problem #001" . . . wifey made me move it out of the dining room - she didn't like the smell of the laser-cut melamine panels . . . me, on the other hand, I love the smell - clearly better than any cologne I've ever sniffed . . . So, I build it in the garage now And . . . so...

Thank you Tincho85

Blue threadlock - have it in the garage

Stepper dampers - I'll make something out of sheets of rubber - also in garage

I will wait on the kapton until I get more info and begin to figure out what I'm doing

. . . woo hoo . . .

My machine will arrive today I'm getting my build area ready, organizing tools but I have a question: would this be a good choice for the Kapton tape? http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Kapton-Tape-Polyimide-100ft/dp/B00A9HAWSO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1425038166&sr=8-3&keywords=1%2F2%22+kapton+ta...

Thanks Jimustanguitar & mvansomeren

I keep thinking of all the things I'd like to make . . . will probably have to get two or three of these things and invest in a company that makes spools of ABS

Totally new here - three questions: #1 Location: I am considering putting the V2 in the garage but I'm not sure this is ideal because of the larger amount of dust out there and the range in temperature changes. I have a "bonus room" that's next to my bedroom but is the V2 going to be noisy...

I'm very excited to begin the build - the V2 will be delivered BEFORE spring break begins! Woo hoo! I'll post my questions in the appropriate areas I guess I'll also post a "build thread" (not in the New Member introduction) to document my process (because I enjoy that sort of thing - cert...

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone at SeeMeCNC think my V2 will arrive before Spring Break (which for me, begins this Friday, 27-Feb-2015 and ends 08-Mar-2015)

Thanks

One question: should I go ahead and order a "removal tool" (?) or can I get something similar at Home Depot that might work as well? I ordered the printer yesterday - I wonder if I ordered a removal tool today if they could send it with my printer and 2 pounds of ABS filament or if I'd hav...

If you chose other, please explain. I can't put one characteristic above any other - my decision was based on many things. Some of this might sound a little stupid but here goes, in no specific order of priority: the people who make the machine - seem to be an impressive, well qualified group the i...

Hello Everyone A couple years ago I purchased a 3D printer kit and I was not impressed. There were several quality issues - suffice to say, that project was not successful so I sold it. Today I purchased a Rostock MAX™ v2 and I can't wait to get started building it and of course, making parts. Backg...
