Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Oh right on, now I get it. very cool, Thanks!


. . . and another printer is born . . .

Thanks Poly, Here's the result They all Home at the same speed. But G1 Z200 F10000 causes all three to rapidly descend to about mid stroke, and X, Y = 0 Z = 200 Hitting Z: -100 has all three crawling down slow a few inches Hitting x: -10 moves x UP a notch fast Hitting y: -10 moves y DOWN a notch fa...

while I have you.. . I'm getting dead slow travel on the z-axis, where do i adjust that?

Okay guys, thanks a million! I've established communication between my Mac and the printer. SeeMe Steve had me cycle the USB plug to thoroughly clear the path. Now Repetier shows 5 commands when I boot up, but those decay to 0 and then "Idle" I'm able to send a command from Repetier to to ...

...and when I say toggled baud rate in the firmware, I mean I did it in synch with the serial monitor and Repetier settings, so that each experiment they matched up.

Seems to me it's a fault in the Repetier software, coming preloaded with 5 commands . . . ?

Okay, I'm getting closer,. my friend helped but he's stumped too. We figured out how to upload the Repetier firmware (downloaded from SeeMe) using Arduino. Before I uploaded I changed the baud rate to 115200. Hit upload on Arduino, and got a LCD display back, LEDs look good, etc. So then i opened th...

Thanks everyone for the help. Apologies for not getting back sooner, holidays have been crazy. The problem was definitely that I erased the firmware when I tried to Blink. So I downloaded the new Repetier firmware from the SeeMe website. I wasn't sure how to get the firmware compiled in Arduino, it'...

I sent my board in to have the bootloader reinstalled, apparently some of the newer units shipped out empty. Upon receipt I reinstalled the board, and it appeared all systems were go. I had green LEDs where they're supposed to be, and Repetier 0.56 for Mac was able to connect and recognize the print...

I'm on a Mac too. After rummaging around for a few hours, I downloaded FreeCad for parts drawing, and Sculptris for freehand modeling. It'll take me a few days to get acquainted, I'll report back when I have a remark. I'm going to try the AutoSketch 123D Catch also, to capture 3D models from photos,...

Heyyyyy this is very cool!! It's perfect for us visual folks.

BTW, what's everyone using for design software? I'm new to printing, and AutoCad and SolidWorks-familiar but not capable. I was thinking of downloading AutoSketch 123 Design. Does this work well with the Repetier I downloaded for the Rostock. BTW again, John. I just mailed off my RAMBo back to SeeMe...

Hi John,

Just saw this post. I'm in Ventura CA and can get down to LA easy enough. If there's food served I could probably make it all the way to Carlsbad

Pleased to meet you.

Thing is, how do I know if I blew it out. I've had a wrist band on every time I handled it, so I don't think it was static. The package was opened when it arrived, so I figured the SeeME folks did something to it prior to shipping, but I'm confident they handled it well. I get the feeling it's not b...

Thanks Polygonhell and Cambo, I'll email them. Oh man I do not want to take that board out, I just put it in.

I just assembled my first Rostock Max and plugged it in. As my first steps, I downloaded Arduino to my Mac, and I'm having the same trouble trying to upload Blink. I have Mac OS 10.8.3, the Arduino chip reads Mega 2560 16 AU 1131. As far as I can tell I've picked everything in the Arduino 1.0.5 pull...

Oh right on, I have tone. Just finished the assembly of my Rostock Max. Plugged it in, flipped the switch, and lit it up!! On to the programming .... mañana.

Hi John, thanks for the suggestion. I played around with different settings, but realized that when I eventually install the delta and extruder, there will be a few pounds of force on the skates towards the center of the printer. So, when I tried pushing in a little on the skates while moving them u...

Hi folks. I'm assembling a Rostock MAx, and have just completed install of the cheapskates on the towers, in accordance with the 2nd edition manual. When I tighten the 5th roller (on the axle support) to adjust bearing tension, enough to eliminate rotation motion along the cyan arrow axis, the carri...
