Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Ok, Here is one a bit more in line Curbell Plastics Engineering Materials Guide - http://www.curbellplastics.com/technical-resources/pdf/engineering-materials-guide-curbell.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It has a short overview of each plastic type. But the interesting ...

Working in the plastics industry you pick up some things. And I thought I would share some of the knowledge. The first 2 I would like to share, and both are FREE Minor Rubber: Engineering Guide to Elastomers - http://www.minorrubber.com/Files/Documents/Engineering%20Guide.pdf" onclick="win...

I had my first true failure last night. I've had parts break free before but this is somehow different. I stopped the print soon after hearing the sound of the hotend Hitting something. [img]http://www.home.comcast.net/~proto//Maxx/DSC_0004.JPG[/img] I'm figuring it was either Hotend issue (temp was...

Ben - So far my longest print has been 2.5 hours. The Thermal Detonator Hemi took about 2 hours to finish and it was depressing when I realized that it broke free. I figure that it was the lack of surface area connected to the bed. Bot - your probably right on not needing supports in the center. I ...

Ok, raising the Bed tempature helped, to a point. What I am printing is a replica Thermal Detonator from Star Wars (I said I was having fun :P ). The part is basically 2 half sphere 2-5/8" dia. I'm printing them one at a time. First Print - Bed at 80°c, Bare Glass with a coating of stick glue s...

Calibration - COMPLETE And now for the first print... The infamous MaterControl Calibration Block :o [img]http://www.home.comcast.net/~proto//Maxx/DSC_0239.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.home.comcast.net/~proto//Maxx/DSC_0240.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.home.comcast.net/~proto//Maxx/DSC_0241.JPG[/img] [img...

Glad to see another another newbie from Michigan. Glad to here that you got it running, and now I need to motivate and finish mine.


Calibration can be such a bother.

GAH continuing the calibration. I started to do the calibration using the V2 SE assembly manual. Hmmm, the screens don't match. pull up the V1 manual. { ok, ok, I admit that I skipped over the part about updating the firmware... TWICE or more } The V1 calibration process - as my brain saw it...

Alrighty

that didn't work. I tried reinstalling, multiple times, multiple versions. still no filter output toggle. I have tried the SeeMeCNC version and the one off of the Matterhackers website.

I'm in the process of configuring my MAXX using Matercontrol and the V2 Assembly Guide In the terminal window, they say (and show) that there is a toggle to Filter Output. I do not see that toggle, or anyway menu to turn the feature on/off. [img]http://www.home.comcast.net/~proto//Maxx/MC-term.jpg[/...

Playing around with Solidworks before I start. The replacement LCD Panel bracket and standoffs. Now I need to finish everything up so I can print them out.

I downloaded the V1 build manual which is turning out to be a godsend, at least at how things line up. So far I have the uprights mounted to the base. right now I realize that the designer of the V1 is either an evil genius at building torture devices, or just didn't think about accessing the mounti...

Picture my foot in your ass... haha kidding kidding kidding. I had to go for a smartass reply. Promises, Promises, Promises! :shock: :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: ok, seriously now. I started the un-boxing routine and found a bit of damage and floating parts, nothing to/too/tutu surprising though. [i...

Well it came in today. 2 big beautiful boxes and a white shipping tube. I have started a build thread - http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&p=55354#p55354" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; So I will be posting about it there I wont be able to start on it tonight, ...

I feel your pain in waiting for your Max to be delivered. According to UPS, mine "Should" be delivered today


After the day of delivery comes the Joy of Building. Or in my case, rebuilding.

Travelphotog got me to thinking again. :shock: Something that will show the basic build volume of a specific machine. Here is a Thingy I threw together for the Orion [img]http://home.comcast.net/~proto//Images/Orion%20Template.JPG[/img] The Idea is to print this up once, and the place this on the ma...

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy...

I just got an email from Cambo, complete with "Tracking Numbers"

When the packages arrive, I may not post anything for a while. I might be a bit per-occupied


EDIT - OMG, I now have to clean up a spot to put it

Their 3D printer displays are merely "there" with please do not touch signs on. They are never printing anything and it is my impression that the store staff has been told to leave them alone. Strange, the store by me always seems to have new printing samples laying around the printers, e...

off hand, I remember Black, White, Red, Grey, Blue, and maybe green in ABS. In PLA, I remeber all the colors that were in ABS plus Natural (kind of off White/Cream)


Microcenter also had other colors in Makerbot & XYZ

XYZ was about $30 for 60grams
Makerbot seemed to start at $40 for a Kilogram

well this is fortuitous

I went to Microcenter to buy some ABS. chose the inland purely on price, I didn't want sink a lot of money into filament if I can avoid it.


I was actually going to start a thread about the Inland filament if I hadn't of seen this one.
