Temperature Drop mid print
Need a little bit of help. So the printer has been going steady for a few weeks now. I've been printing out items for an upcoming halloween party and just now ran into my first snafu. I was on the last bit of printing when i noticed the startup temp was not coming up to temperature as quick and woul...

Foshon: I think you should increase your hot end temp by 5 degrees at a time, see if it helps. I would reduce that print speed until you get a feel for printing, I would try around 50mm during the first few prints. Also, bowden retraction with the original hot end is tricky. To get the speeds right...

Re: About to go "RAMBO" on my Rostock Max - Frustrated
OK tried it with no heat in the heat bed. Blue Painters Tape and rubbing alcohol to clean. Results are mixed. Looks like the results are better. Definitely huge leaps beyond the craptastic prints before, but still no dice. I'm attempting to print this: Its a fan made with a bunch of support risers t...

Re: About to go "RAMBO" on my Rostock Max - Frustrated
Batteau62 and JohnStack - i'll try to get some pictures and or videos of my attempts. You make a good point on the PLA but the manual says to keep the plate heated at 60C for PLA and as high as 110C for ABS. So naturally I'm thinking yeah i got to keep the plate at 60C. I will give that a shot when ...

Re: About to go "RAMBO" on my Rostock Max - Frustrated
Thanks for the quick reply, I tend to be a bit verbose in my posts because limited information seems to be a cause of a lot of back and forth in the posts i read. I do appreciate you reading through it ... 1. printer radius is not meant for this purpose. if your heatbed is bowing find another soluti...

About to go "RAMBO" on my Rostock Max - Frustrated
Yeah yeah, its a pun. I met my quota for the year so don't worry about anymore. Ok so I'm extremely frustrated at my Rostock. Like many others here, the setup has been nothing but one thing after another. I'll start from the beginning so folks don't assume I've done something dumb like forget to plu...

Carriage rods are bent . . . New Rostock Max Build
To All: Need some help. Not sure how to fix this or if this is a common occurrence. There are a total of 6 aluminum rods. 3 on the hot end holder and 3 on each carriage. Most the U joints slip on and move freely on the rods except for 2 rods. U joints stick. I can force 2 of the U joints into place ...

So I have a few questions: (this is a more general question about delta printers) Print volume . . . lets say I want to adapt the Rostock Max ...
