Not sure if this has been posted yet - but here is a link to the 2015 3D Printer Guide.

Guess who came in first in the DIY category

Took advantage of Black Friday discount and purchased a DropLit kit (and a 2nd Max V2 . Using Gene's build manual - version 0.50, September 29th, 2014. On Page 23 (Part 4 - Building the DropLit Chasis) - Fig 4.1 shows the Arduino mounting holes. The images shows a cluster of 9 holes in the area wher...

Where are you getting power for the ring? Tapping into the fan leads?

I let the run complete - and here is the final output.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Makes me almost want to buy another kit just to build it using the new version of the manual

I have my Rostock V2 calibrated as well as I can (having done the calibration routine until I can do it with my eyes closed . Can anyone point me in the correct direction as to what setting would be causing the layers to print with these gaps? The attached pic is the bottom layer of a partially prin...

Here is what I found that worked perfectly. I purchased one of these from Harbor Freight (m) - then labeled each compartment from 1 - 24. I then took the inventory sheet that comes with the hardware kit, and put a compartment number in front of all the line items - the inventory sheet will tape into...

Thanks for the info - I like it when the simplest solution turns out to be the best

After performing the various pre-print calibrations, I printed the PEEK fan shroud in ABS according to the manual. Everything went fine as far as the print function. Inserting the fan into the shroud is a very tight fit -so much so that if I force it in, the shroud binds the sides of the fan and the...

Final follow-up. I did send them an email and yesterday a box arrived with the missing part (in addition to some not missing parts ) - 2nd day UPS - above and beyond in the customer service arena in my opinion. I wish all companies stood behind their products this well. Awesome service - thanks guys...

I think the resistor included in the Onyx hot plate kit is a 4.7k Ohm 1%.

It appears to be a 5 band resistor (these things get harder and harder to see )

I did report it to their tech support email - but never heard back. So, like a kid with a new toy on Christmas but no batteries, I thought I would source one locally so as not to delay my build

My kit is missing the red LED form the Onyx packet. Can anyone give me the value of the LED? I picked up a 12v 1.5mA w/integrated resistor from Rat Shack - but I am not sure if an integrated resistor will play havoc with the Onyx mounted resistor. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, -Ge...
