Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Ok so after a short break, (new car, new job, ect, ect) i'm back playing with my rostock. Unfortunately, my glass broke (so i tried my first print anyway) hehe. I have some 1/8" aluminum in my basement i will be using for a new build plate (probably this weekend.) As for now here are some pic's...

Thank you for this "#define EXT0_INVERSE false" to "true" i just had to change mine

Not really, i just wanted to be sure nobody would try and talk me down in price after they bid on it and win the auction. (im sure they will anyway). The truck i was building for myself to keep me busy after i closed my own shop. What can i say, Tool and Die makers are all kinda funny in the head an...

I figured you guys would get a kick out of this. I've listed my mobile machine shop on ebay for no reserve . Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/141077543695?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Up for auction is a 1982 GMC box truck that I began converting into a mobile mach...

8020 sells its overstock on ebay so you should be able to get it there. Also MSC http://www.mscdirect.com/ sells 8020, that's where i bought mine through so i could put it on my companies tool bill.

Really neato looking machine. (My only tiny tiny critic would be, magnetic arms would have been a obvious choice at this point I would have imagined, just so much easier to build, calibrate, maintain, switch out hotends, be really spiffy) :) Yeah, I definitely have to second this. No reason to go w...

OK here it goes: I have made screw tensioners for the cheapskate belts Swapped my pillars with black 80/20 Increased the print height by aprox. 4" Cracked my Boro Glass swapped resistors in the hotend Added lights Added knobs Replaced off/on switch with better looking one. Replaced shiny screws...

Don't use the permanent thread compound. Ie, if you are using Loctite use the "Blue" and do not use the "Red." The only way to get the red to break loose later is to either super heat it or drill out the screws.

NEW & SHINY!! NEW & SHINY!!

LOL Does the fan have to work?

I want a set also

I wonder if my arms are "special".

HEHE they rode on the seemecnc short bus, we are all special in one way or another.

I used a lighted led switch from radio shack for mine. it was like $4 and i had to open up the hole for the switch. The little switch it comes with just looked funny.

I had a similar problem. I checked all my wiring and the board and everything checked out, but the resistors checked out at 50k ohms. So im now waiting on new resistors to try again.

kbob was nice enough to walk me through it last night, so i got that part pf it working.

need magic smoke also

Just checked all my connections on the hot end, they all checked out. the only thing that didn't is the resistors they are maxing out my old school analog multimeter. Time to contact seemecnc

its the resistors in the hot end. all my connections checked out. I should have checked them before i installed them. But that's what i get for taking shortcuts.

Thanks im reading alot more that 3.5 ohms so i must have a bad connection somewhere. Now i remember why i got out of electronics and went back to tool and die. grrr

Yea but i left my "HOLY" boots at home one day and these were the cheapest ones i could find and not be late to work. Unfortunatly, when i got home my wife saw the new boots and well "sent the old ones to a new home"

Im building a new printer from seemecnc and i just got to the part in the instruction where i test the hot end. i am useing repeater and the hot end is from seemecnc. When i click "heat extruder" in repeater lights light up on the board but the hotend stays at room temp.

I dont know i never cut it. its the exact size seemecnc gave me. it appears tobe the correct size.

Thank you for your tip on the adrino now im working on trying to get my hotend to heat up

Im stuck on page 145 in the build directions and when i got to upload the new settings i get this screen. You have downloaded the RepetierMAX software from github and extracted the .ZIP file, right? In the Arduino IDE application, use File->Open. Navigate into the RepetierMAX/Repetier folder and op...

Im stuck on page 145 in the build directions and when i got to upload the new settings i get this screen.

So i have no magic smoke, but when i go tyo load the firmware i get an error
