I bought a Rostock Max V1 back in 2013 and I love it! But when I started printing, there were some upgrades and changes I wanted to do. Some could have been done without changing the entire printer, but I'm a fan of sharp edges and I wanted to customize it a little.
I've wanted to share the skin/upgrade of my Rostock for quite some time, so here it is, hope you all enjoy the building process as much as I did.
The printer is running great atm, the pictures were taken a few months ago.
Right now I'm designing a heated chamber to fight warping of big prints.
All the parts laser cutted. I've used 5.5mm MDF sheets. I choose to cut them first, so when I paint them I can avoid the burnt edges.
Todas las partes cortadas por laser. use placas de MDF de 5.5mm. Preferi cortarlas primero, asi cuando las pinto puedo eliminar el canto quemado.

The 3 colors I used for the printer. They all have a metallic finish.

I've used a combination of acrylic and cork for the foot assemblies.
Para las patas que soportan la maquina, utilize una combinacion de corcho y acrilico.

Cork stepper dampers... these shoud be included in the pack or at least a note in the manual.
It's a huge change regarding noise.
Dampers de corcho, hacen una terrible diferencia en cuanto al ruido. El mejor upgrade que le hice a mi Rostock

Yes, I know it's probably too much, but It wont hurt some cork for the big board fan.
Ehh... creo que es mucho, pero un poco de corcho para el ventilador del Rambo no creo que le haga mal.

The fan from the PSU goes directly to the board, so I've printed a protective wall to guide the air flow.
La salida de la fuente le da justo a donde toma aire el ventilador del Rambo, asi que imprimi una pared protectora para guiar el flujo de aire.

Maybe just a little paranoid, but the heated bed mounting plate was painted using high temp paint.
Utilize pintura resistente a altas temperaturas para el soporte de la heated bed. Otra vez... tal vez es mucho, pero bue!

Eso es todo por hoy, en los próximos días ire subiendo mas fotos.
Todavía estos trantando de encontrarlas claro, pero en alguna carpeta backup deben estar.
