Re: My rostock v2 just keeps on resetting and maybe it's the Rambo board?

So after testing everything and it all looking good and finding no signs of shorts, I decided to try a different SD card and now the printer works normal.

Turns out it was the SD card that went bad all along. I guess I don't need anyone's help after all.

Re: My rostock v2 just keeps on resetting and maybe it's the Rambo board?

After toying with it some more, the problem only happens when the SD card is inserted. When the SD card is not in its slot, the printer is normal with all LCD functions. As soon as the SD card is inserted, the printer runs on a constant loop of restarting itself, so I don't think this is a Rambo iss...

My rostock v2 just keeps on resetting and maybe it's the Rambo board?

So my printer is 4y/o this month and has been ol reliable up until today. When I turn it on, it just constantly goes from the startup screen to the home screen on the LCD and I cannot do anything with it. Only thing I can think of is the Rambo board went to shit. Is my presumption correct? https://y...

Re: Rostock Max V2 Dimmer and Voltmeter

I got around to creating a layer fan shroud and have my printer all done! I might make a second layer fan, but I don't use a whole lot of PLA so I will see how it prints when I get around to it with just the one. Here is a link to my layer fan STL. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:858123

Re: Ultem 1000 Polyetherimide

I purchased the 1/8" x 12" x 12" sheet. Mine is also shiny on both sides and I have been printing on it for 2 weeks now and everything has stuck right to it.

Re: Ultem 1000 Polyetherimide

Mine had a very slight curve to it, but it straightened out with the binder clips. I calibrated the machine after and it was almost spot on with the glass, only about .5mm in the horiz. radius adjustment and very minute changes in the axis stop screws. It prints accurately towards the end of the tra...

It absolutely is. I just got it powered right now, but I need to design up a new layer fan mount since the squirrel cage won't fit due to the lights.

Re: Rostock Max V2 Dimmer and Voltmeter

So none of the LED mounts I could find seem to work as they are supposed to, so I designed this piece to hold the 60mm LED ring.

Rostock Max V2 Dimmer and Voltmeter

So I am adding a 15 led light ring onto the hotend platform and wanted a way to control its brightness and be able to turn it off and on, so this is what I came up with. I added voltmeter just because it doesn't hurt to have one and they are cheap. I will be running the wires from the PS to the dimm...

Re: Thingiverse Ultimate Rostock Thing Collection

My heatshrink over the hotend and fan wires was sliding down and I didn't like that the wires were on a sharp melamine edge, so I made a sleeve to snap into the hole. I already added split loom on top of the wires for extra protection, but here is a link to it on thingverse. http://www.thingiverse.c...

Re: Ultem 1000 Polyetherimide

I still have the supplied hot end so nylon isn't a possibility and I have no use for ninjaflex, so a thin sheet isn't a big deal to me. I can easily switch back and forth if needed in the future if I get an E3dv6, the calibration took very small adjustments between the two. I'd rather have two diffe...

Ultem 1000 Polyetherimide

I just replaced my Borosilicate Glass and have no idea why this machine doesn't use a polyetherimide sheet in the kit. No more glue sticks, no more abs glue, no more masking tape! This plate adheres parts better than anything I have used! Instantaneous adhesion. I bought a 12" x 12" x .125...

Re: Hello from the fire pit called Arizona

I hit you guys up to let you know, but I have already sourced the parts from elsewhere because I want to be printing this weekend. I know and understand that things can get overlooked, it just sucks it wasn't a bolt or nut I could go get at Ace Hardware. 100k thermistors arrived today, but I forgot ...

Re: Hello from the fire pit called Arizona

My kit only came with one thermistor and only one ptfe sleeve for the hotbed, there was nothing included with the hotend. It was an issue on their part, I've checked everywhere too many times to count and it just isn't there. I am just hoping this printer is manufactured with better care than their ...

Hello from the fire pit called Arizona

I am in the process of assembling my Rostock Max v2 and would be close to being finished if it weren't for a thermistor not included in the package for the hot end. I used the one from the hot plate in the hot end and am now stuck waiting. I ended up ordering a 10 pack of them from Amazon that will ...
