Hello and new to forum
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2022 9:28 am
Hello everyone, from the NorthEast US. I'm new to the forum and 3D printing in general. It's a hobby that I've always been interested in pursuing, because I like building things and electronics. I rather recently saved a Rostock Max V2 from ending up in the garbage and I've been working on getting it to print reliably ever since. I made my way to this forum to seek help in figuring out some of the issues this machine has been having and to look for some upgrading suggestions. I won't get too into detail here and will make a post in the V2 specific area, but basically if a problem exists, this machine has it. I'll do a short list below:
- Bed adhesion issues
- No cooling fans worked at all when I received it
- The hotend thermistor was gone when I got it
- Will stop midprint sometimes
- Can't print anything with complicated angles
- Print warping issues(even with bed covered in painters tape)
- Cannot hold a solid temp after thermistor and hotend was replaced
- Won't start prints sometimes because it cannot reach the correct nozzle temp without being preheated
- Nozzle clogging issues
- Tends to get extruder jams once a print, at least or break filament off
