Well thats a loaded question... I've made a bunch of changes to what I believe was Polygonhells distro of repetier for rmax. A lot of the changes matched mhackneys config. It is in the pyramid challenge thread.

Do you have the metal or the plastic pulleys?

would you mind posting your settings? I am printing anywhere from 0.2 to 0.35mm layers on the 0.5mm nozzle jhead. KISS Settings Destring: 4.5/4.5/5 30 0.5 5 Fan: 30 1.75MM PLA printing about 185C (ultimachine silver). I find KISS slices heavy so I have my flow tweak set to 0.93. Style: using 0.55mm...

Sorry I missed your question I couldn't get retraction working properly with the stock head while printing with PLA.

Here is the hollow cube

Yes a J-Head and my own magnetic ball-arms and effector design.

Yeah I was giddy watching it print

Thanks guys! I am am extremely happy with this setup. I've made a number of prints now and they all come out incredibly beautiful.

Here is an earlier video.

I'll release the files soon guys. I just want to get it printing first. this should happen this weekend. I calibrated the bed to within 1/1000". The left tower needs a slight adjustment but the other 3 positions are dead on. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMOKtggNcO4[/youtube] We need...

Nice print! Looks like those joints are working out. I think your hot end also as a lot to do with the quality of the prints you are getting. Can you post a link to that last file you printed? I would like to give that a shot soon. Also I am assuming you are using KISS? Are the following features o...

That last print sample is mouth watering its so nice.
!

Yeah I think that is arguably the best print I have ever made on any of my printers.

ApacheXMD wrote:Xnaron, so you had to drill new holes in the cheapskates to mount your printed pieces, right?

The print results look amazing!

No I used 3mm screws in the existing holes. I used the outside holes rather then the inside ones.

Here is the first try on the pyramid.

First try on my modded rostock max. Magnetic ballends and j-head. Silver ultimachine PLA. 5/5 for retraction in KISS. Seemecnc extruder. 185C temp. I'm speechless....

and the results

I calibrated the bed to within 1/1000". The left tower needs a slight adjustment but the other 3 positions are dead on.

Need to verify the geometry is correct in the firmware but it works great!

Are the files up anywhere?

Thanks. I will put them up after I run the first test which should be very soon. Stay tuned.

After seeing the awesome Berrybot3D by Werner Berry I got magnet fever and had to have one. I did not have the time to cnc mill and lathe the required parts out of metal so I decided to see if I could make a printable part set. Well I did and it worked better than I could have ever hoped. I'd like t...

Hi Werner,

I've been doing some work on my design. I'm going to try and make everything printable. Here is where I am at now.

Most stainless is not magnetic so these are steel. I will spot them and drill. I can do this on either the lathe (with a 5C chuck) or mill (also a 5C chuck). Balls this size can be drilled easily so I don't anticipate a challenge. Did you order Chrome steel balls? Thats what I got and I have had no...

Chaulk up another victim http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=1537 I want to know what causes this. It is not happening at a point on my belt where a crash could occur (ie at the limit switches). I have not crashed into the bed or had any other mishaps. Something is wearing it prematur...
