Forget the wiring.... I want to know when you're going to sell that effector platform and those sexy ball cup carbon fiber end tips!!! I have a few of the aluminum platforms available now that I milled on my CNC. I expect to have a batch of (50) from my local water-jet guy in a few weeks. http://ww...

I think you could use it with other hot ends if probe pcb board was mounted at top of hot end, possibly under the bowden fitting? The hole in pcb is only 7mm diameter, so the bowden collet should just fit through. May be better to use another set of short standoffs on top of 3 holding groove mount, ...

yes, it is from the Eris.
I hear it will be standard on the RMAX v3 kits to be available in a few months.
And the hot end + probe board as a retrofit kit for older machines.

Finally got my hands on the new hot end and probe board to test out on the MAX v2 :D Made aluminum effector platform to mount it with ball cup arms. Just downloaded newest Repetier fw and getting ready to flash it to machine. Still figuring out the wiring... IMG_20160625_150517.jpg IMG_20160625_1319...

Hey Brian, will you pat a photo of your wrapped block so I can see how it goes on? Thanks!

Here is photo of heater block wrapped with silicone self-bonding tape...

Most auto parts stores, Menards, or Lowes have it also.

What quality issue do you have with the prints you are showing here?

PLA does not warp and split apart at layers like ABS can.

I think PET-G material is better than either.

I do not understand what you see a a slicing error?
The wider spaced lines are auto generated support created by slicer, correct?

Did you run the model thru netfabb repair before slicing?
What orientation are you printing?

The attached file has been run thru netfabb repair, give that a shot.

How about smoke from one of those electronic cigarettes?

I have not tested this, but could a workaround be putting a G92 offset in your start code?
G92 X-140 Y-140

Then just use the Cartesian gcode generated by cura.

at least until zero center configuration is figured out.

at what point did you increase the height? My frame shipped on 2/24, is it one of the longer frames? Yours is the original 33" columns. Taller revised frames started shipping first of this month, June 2016 can I get the taller columns? I machine the frame sides and columns together as sets. So...

Yours is the original 33" columns.

Taller revised frames started shipping first of this month, June 2016

By the way, the most recent MAX METAL Frames are shipping with longer columns. They have been 33" but are now 34.5" Increased distance between top & bottom side frame rails by 1" Increased distance below lower rail by .5" For several reasons; better/cleaner wire routing thro...

What's that hot end you've got there?

Beta testing new pico hybrid from B3 Innovations.

interesting!
My first thought was for part cooling also.
"Berd-Air" powered of course

@Jim, so you going to have a scaled down one printed by Thursday evening so we can play with it at the MakerHive?


resin print it in one piece maybe?

Meh. WIFI ;(
sad to see the wired port eliminated.
I find that WIFI is just is not as reliable or fast as wired.

why not leave Ethernet port and let people use a wifi dongle if they want wireless?

Highjacking this thread because of the mentioning of the heatspreader. I hear people having it machined out of a thick alu sheet, because it seems extruded alu sheets have too much of a thickness variety. Is that also going to be a problem if you put the glass on top of it? Would a standard anodize...

@KAS
On my most recent build I mounted the light ring above platform like you showed. Great idea!

Very good and helpful calibration write up, thanks 626pilot.

Cool!

Nice Jim.
To bad it takes a couple 6 packs of cold ones to cool it down in a reasonable amount of time.

I think you could control it with a SSR
Why two thermistors?

Here is a bracket to mount the YJ-Pad wiring block by Yellow Jacket Concepts to the MAX METAL Frame side extrusions.
