Rostock Max

[Zodd]

Her are some pictures from my Rostock Max.
I made a complete housing for it with a few changes on the printer itself.

The housing consists of heat-and acid-resistant plastic discs 5 mm thick with 20x20mm aluminium profiles.
The bottom is composed of 19mm thick solid wood.
The housing helps alot for minimize the noice and keep the temperature warmer inside (+4°~).

Here on the hotend i changed the aluminium spacers, made them much shorter so i have more space later for a cooling fan.
Difficult here foreseeable my custom 0.30 mm noozel, i changed the shape and length (2mm longer). From thingiverse i also printed the 3x LED holder you that you can see.

On the top 3 more LEDs.

For Steves Extruder i made 1 LED holder so i can see when the filament gets stuck again...

I also got the problem that the filament 1.75 abs slips sometime in the extruder or when i made it to determine that it was jammed.
The original part was much too easily and had too much play (around 0.35mm), the new one only 0.06mm with a new knurled. I made the knurled only for the 1.75 filament, wont use any 3mm in the near future.

If you are still having extrusion problems, look back on the other roller and tighten that bolt as tight as possible to get less slipping on the roller itself

You can upload the photos directly to the posts. When you are writing the post at the bottom there is an "upload attachments" tab. Use that to place the photos on the site server. I am not sure if there are size restrictions on the uploads.
