You mean the Y tower?

X is left of the "front" of the machine, Y is the right, and Z is the center-rear. Unless you;ve wired your machine different to the manual

Or you can leave it like that and use the hole on the other side for a fresh start. Unfortunately this is one of the newer hotends and doesn't have a second hole. Not that I couldn't drill one of course. Use a cutoff wheel in a dremel tool and cut a slot for a flat blade screwdriver in it. It shoul...

So... I re-discovered one of those cool little threaded thermistors you can buy on ebay which I believed I had mistakenly thrown in the trash. Awesome, thought I - now I can make a better hot end. I merrily tapped the thermistor hole on the hotend and started screwing the thermistor in. Hmm... must ...

Definitely the wiring. Thermistor came out anyway as I was disassembling and I tested it - was about 100K.

Going to allow more slack in the connection this time and hopefully avoid it happening again.

First machine. Completed the build this weekend. When running the calibration scripts I noticed that my hotend wouldn't stop heating up. Seems to be when the wires move a certain way. If I hold them just right, Repetier-Host picks up the temperature signal again and goes back to controlling it I'll ...

Thanks guys. Went ahead with it and wired everything up

My Rostock got the equivilent of a boot screen this weekend. Onwards to programming!

Howdy. In the process of wiring up my new Rev6 Heated Bed and because I jumped ahead in the manual while I was waiting for the Rev6 to arrive, didn't leave enough 18ga wire free so that I could wire up the Heated Bed (it's pretty much all in my towers...) Is there anything I have to know when sourci...

I'm curious as I've seen this in a different thread - what's the reasoning behind having the end-stop wires in a different tower to the others? Do you get some sort of interference from having unshielded power cables twisted around end-stop cables?

As Gene said - I thought the end stop wires were all meant to be routed through the x-axis tower, then at the top they go over to the y and z towers. IIRC the extruder stepper motor wires should be connected to the 22ga wires you routed through the y-axis tower? This is from memory as I don't have t...

I'm also not sure this is a problem. I mean, you can see how close to the melamine they're meant to be seated in the manual. I just bashed my T-nuts with a hammer until the barbs dug in and they sat flush. I don't see any other logical way that the T-nuts should be installed other than how I've done...

Yeah - USPS tracking basically stops working once a delivery hits customs. I think Aus Post takes over and their tracking sucks. It normally doesn't update until after they deliver. You and I have covered this in my intro thread but I think it'll help to post here too in case another Aussie does wh...

First - sorry for the double post. :cry: I too got a call from a Indian claiming to work for FedEx wanting my CC details to pay the import duty. My bulls%^t meter went to 110% and I told her no thanks. I went home and looked up the FedEx Australia number and gave them a call. Guess it wasn't a scam...

Original post - leaving here for context: Just gonna chuck this info in here in case anyone else is looking: From what I've read about other Australians buying the Rostock they have not had to pay customs charges. Not to say it won't happen to me but I got a scam call from a Phillipino today (Sunday...

I ordered my Rostock on Monday 14th but it has to come to Tasmania.

I'll post here as soon as I get it and will let you know if I got pinged for customs and how long it took

In NZ they seem like a good bet, but you're in Oz right? There's bilbycnc, 3dmakergear and 3dprintersuperstore for filament. Shortly there will be another :) The name says NZ but I'm an export living in Tasmania, yeah. Searching google and reddit seemed to reveal DiamondAge as being a reputable sup...

Order placed. Yussssss. Now begins the waiting game. Just in case I completely missed it: I need 1.75mm filament right? Need to place an order for some ABS so I can make the fan shrouds. Going with DiamondAge unless anyone else has other recommendations. They seem to be the supplier of choice for Oc...

Thanks Eaglezsoar - I think I'll be making an order this week sometime

Hey mate welcome! - For the hi-temp silicone stuff - we use Loctite Superflex Red High Temp RTV. It's available here (can't remember where we got it, possibly Trade Tools if they have them down your way). - Disappearing glue stick. I use the cheap 6 pack from Aldi. It's absolutely amazing. Called S...

Hey There, I plan on ordering a Rostock v2 some time in the next few weeks - hope you're all ready for some noob questions. I do have a bunch of questions straight up: - What extras do I need to buy straight off the bat from the SeeMeCNC website? (extra glass build plates? different hot end?) Do I l...
