Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hey I have been following this thread. The Platform looks great! I just ordered my Rostock Max V2, and it has not arrived yet. However, I will be swapping the stock hot end for the all metal E3D v6 to print PC. Just curious if this Platform you made here is required for the E3D v6 mod? If so what ...

It'd be awesome if the guys at SeeMeCNC would modify the top and bottom wood plates to include a flat for a bit of Panduit (...or whoever...) conduit running top to bottom. Even if it was an optional sort of thing.

Is anyone from the forum going to IMTS this year? It would be nice to meet up quickly with anyone who might be there.

If you're interested, I can post the mods for the dual extruder through one hot end as well. It's just a couple of tiny printed widgets and you're up and running. Right now it's printing ABS and HIPS. This really is quite fascinating. What retract speeds are you using and how long does it change to ...

Make a printable plastic piece that accepts the E3D style bowden insert (my kit came with an extra one that I'm itching to use). Get rid of the aluminum piece of the EZStruder that only has threads for the sloppy OEM pneumatic fitting... Do you mean this widget? I'd like to CAD up the geometry for ...

I posted this in the introductions already, but figured I'd share here as well. It seems like the right place.

Rostock Max v2 (the wiring is all outside the machine - so I can tinker with alternative boards, etc) and a uPrint SE Plus.

I'm not following you?! What do you mean?

...forgot to add the filament guide...

Just print two and join with small zip ties.

Don't judge me on the geometry. I'm tinkering with Fusion 360 (...instead of Inventor...).

Justin, I am interested in your widgets. I assume that you retract the active filament past the biflurcation point and then advance the second filament into the hot end. Also looks like this is fitted to a E3D Hot End. Does it work okay with PLA (can't imagine why it wouldn't)? Do you do a filament ...

The Play-Doh is to hold boards when I solder components. It's always worked for me. That's the story I'm sticking to at least.

...small world. Here I sit, reading through the forums, wearing a shirt from a bar you might know. I worked there while I was in school.

Welcome to the forum! Thanks! Being an engineer perhaps you can help answer some of the questions we get on the forum, and we will certainly do our best to answer any question you may have. I'll try. Be warned: I'm just pretending to be an engineer. I must be doing something right, though. No one's ...

Let me know how it goes, if you don't mind. I printed it on a uPrint - so I had the benefit of support. I'd love to see pictures when you get it printed and running.

I swapped over to a E3Dv6 hot end a few days ago. I designed this platform to make my life a little easier. I'll share the github repo for it - be warned, though: The documentation is still a little rough, mostly pictures. It's working out well for now. It's printed from ABS. I'll cut one from ...

I've had a Rostock Max v2 for a few months now. It's sitting on my desk - right above a Statasys uPrint SE Plus. Most days, I'm printing on the Rostock. The print quality, for the most part, is indistinguishable. I've been watching a few threads on this forum and decided it was time to participate ...
