Safety issues....

My brother-in-law (my bro) and I have completed our kit and I haven't been there in a few weeks. But are there any concerns about the the uncirculated fumes from this printer to kids and family?!?!? Also, I see prints that go overnight......any concern for fire, etc. This doesn't seem to be a UL lis...

Re: Rostock max making objects....

We have lowered the speed, lowered the heatbed, and have been playing with filament size. It just seems like the filament is too hot.....oar the filament cools off too quickly between extrusion. Any time there is retraction, we have to expect a low extrusion......followed by "beaded" extru...

Re: New build of a Rostock Max kit

Nylon screws are probably for safety...anytime you match power...electrical, you want no conductors.

Re: Rostock Max Limit switch wiring issue

Barnett (my brother in-law) and I had to add extensions to many of the wires. Not a big deal....just twist together, bend and tape off with electrical tape.

Re: connecting the heated bed

We used sillicone to cover thermistor on heatbed....and resistors on heatend. We also used silicone to set the thermidor on the hot end. Look great but let us know.....Bar, can you send close ups..???
