New Rostock Max v2 owner :)

[Nazulle]

Hello, this is my first post on the forums and like it says as the topic, Im a new owner of a Rostock Max v2. I just finished building it on the 11th so yeah im still very new at printing. I was successfully able to 3D print the peek fan shroud and the extruder fan shroud (after a lot of hassel due to over extrusion, speed, and temperature, which i fixed by decreasing my speed on matter control to 0.75, lowering my speed to 20mm/s, and decreasing my temperature to 215 degrees instead of 230). I bought 1 roll of ABS filament from Hatchbox and another roll but this one of PLA by the same company. Im still having a tiny bit of a problem with over extrusion and the height between the build plate and the extruder even after calibration. But hey, atleast its printing without an extreme failure anymore hopefully it will stay that way.

Thanks for reading,
Nazulle

Howdy and welcome,

I'm a new Rostock Max V2 owner as well; it came to life around on April 1st and it is a blast. I haven't had any major issues with the printer. Calibration, while time consuming, does work. The other thing I discovered is that even a little air movement around the hot plate was enough to lose adhesion; so when I print, I turn off the ceiling fan and try to make sure the AC isn't blowing in it's direction.

Congrats!
