Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

That is so cool, i wish i would have had the time to build that! good job man!!!

The coolest thing about being a tool and die maker is that i know there will always be an opportunity to make another.

I am thinking it might be better to take it apart and split it up into several packages. I believe that would bring the shipping cost down quite a bit.

I wish you could buy it also Eaglezsaor, you helped me so much with getting it up and running. I have one person that has shown interest in it and has pmed me. but no cash has changed hands yet. I'm getting ready to list it and everything i have for it on ebay. An unassembled kit sold on there in No...

Alright fella's it seems i have gotten myself into a financial crunch and i need to see my printer for some cash. So if anyone is interested in it please make me a reasonable offer.

I picked up some cheap felt with a sticky backing on it from my local Wally World last night. I started experimenting with it tonight when I got home from work. I have yet to have a print fail. I'm getting no edge curl or separation from the bed even on large prints. The only problems i am having wi...

Ok, so i've been experimenting and i have discovered that, plain felt taped to the bed works really well for me. Plus its super cheap!

Thanks for the post, im gonna give both those methods a shot this weekend and see if it helps me on large prints.

You could always get a second cat for the first cat to play with.

Thank you guys for such a quick response, I guess i should have included a little more info on my build setup when i did the original post, my Max has a stock seemecnc hotend and a aluminum build plate. (my glass broke the first time i heated the bed) Right now i've had the most success on small pri...

I started experimenting with nylon a few days ago and for the most part i like it alot. The one problem i am having with it is getting it to stick to the bed. I have tried glue sticks, tape (white and blue), cardboard, double sided sticky tape, cotton fabric, canvas, and burlap. i have also tried ha...

Nice Knobs!!! Just make sure you can push that knob on the LCD in ... The following is said in a very very quiet voice - "it is also a button"

Howdy Captain Starfish, Welcome to the Forums!!!

This is none of my business but I was wondering why you couldn't find enough work even with lower charges. Would you say that location played the biggest role? Location was a factor, at the time that i started my shop the local economy had just lost the last of its major manufactures. The area beca...

The Machine shop that i work for charges $55 per hour for CNC/Conventional machining and $85 for inspection/troubleshooting and we have way more work that we can handle. When i owned my own shop i charged $35 per hour for everything but couldn't find enough work. Just charge what you can and still m...

Thanks for the info and keeping us updated.

I used several coats of black enamel paint. My wife got so annoyed with the enamel smell she never even mentioned the burnt wood smell.

Mine is oversized also, My taulman 618-1.75 mm is averaging between 1.75mm and 1.82mm. This is my first time using nylon so I haven't got to far into the roll yet but it seems tobe able to print. Mine does seems tobe really wet, there is a lot of popping when i print. I just opened the spool today s...

Mine started doing the same exact thing last night while i was experimenting in repeaterhost with speeds/feeds ect. For mine, I discovered that my filament roll had had somehow "caught." It would turn but not freely. So i fixed it and cleaned the drive gear on the EZstruder, but I still ha...

Welcome to the forums! Along with the manual, read as much as you can of the troubleshooting and build logs sections so you have a better chance of avoiding the mistakes others have made. For me, both those sections were extremely valuable. The guys on the forum are usually really quick to answers t...

I really like your led's, that is one nice mod!

That looks nice man!

That is cool, I have been debating on building an all metal max 2x the size of the original RS-Max. This is just insane though.

One of my thoughts would be to mount the tip of a mig welder for the hotend and actually make large metal parts with this beast.

I did a search and just found this thread. There is some really good info here, but its kinda dated now. So now im wandering how everybody has done since they last posted. Have speeds and feeds changed? Are big blocks of aluminum still the best way to keep the Max from dancing of the table. What typ...

Isn't funny how all the ORION owners were told, but not us poor old RS-Max owners? lmao
