Haha, ever since I had a kid, my cutoff for good work is around 10PM, but yeah, probably the same issue

Well, I found the problem. The gear on the stepper motor was out of line with the pulleys: Stepper Motor.jpg Totally my fault. Not sure what I was thinking when I installed that stepper. There was a ton of rubber dust in the base of the printer. I checked the other belts, and they were fine. I ...

It snapped (tore?) at the base of the tower. I've got 5 meters of belt due to arrive on Monday. I'll look over the belt path for any burrs or sharps spots this weekend.

Thanks for the input!

Haha, if I take out a second belt, I'll give it serious consideration

It actually moved fairly easily. I'm wondering if I shifted something that made it abrade. I'll be checking when I get home from work.

So I (evidently dramatically) over-tensioned a belt last week, and this morning I woke up to this: broken belt.jpg Is there any way to splice this? Or do I need to order a new one and wait for it to ship out? I had planned to spend most of the weekend printing, but if I have to wait, it's not the ...

Very happy to have it working ...

Thanks Xenocrates and Windshadow for the responses! And thanks to Eaglezsoar for the welcome! I'm planning to upgrade to an E3D hotend down the road, and right now I'm excited to start printing, and don't want to wait for an threaded thermistor to ship from eBay. So for now I'm going to go with a ...

I hadn't thought of that. What's the advantage? Do the thermistors tend to fail and need replacement?

After talking to SeeMeCNC support and getting dimensioned drawings of the hotend, I'm just going to drill it out myself. I don't think it's worth the time and money to get it replaced.

Hello everybody, I'm a Mechanical Engineer in the Denver area. I just got a Rostock Max V2 for my birthday! The difference in scale between it and my old printrbot is pretty staggering - I'm looking forward to putting this thing through its paces. First question: my hotend does not have a hole/port ...
