Re: Not reaching temp

I'm have this same issue. I have tried everything the OP has, as well as re-uploading the firmware, with no luck. (also tried incresing the PID max with no success :( ) It makes me wonder is something got lose like the thermistor maybe, or perhaps one of the resisters went out?? IDK why it would ...

Re: FrznTek's R Max v2

When I did my research on 3D printers to figure out what one I wanted to buy. SeemeCNC seemed that they had good customer service, of which was one of the determining factors in my choice. My initial e-mails seem to back that, which made me feel comfortable spending the just over $1200 with shipping ...

They got back to me on Friday and had me test/look at some stuff. I ran the clear eeprom, re-downloaded the firmware, made the motor change to "{155,155,155,165,0}" just like last time, and no change. (the Y axis still doesn't move when plugged in to the Y axis port.) the pins also look fine. I ...

I did notice that the low memory message appears even when verifying the firmware's code.

Re: FrznTek's R Max v2

Thanks for the idea. They work , it must be a controller issue. I do remember the andrino software said something about low memory after I uploaded the firmware, and that it might cause glitches.

Re: FrznTek's R Max v2

I would love to see some pictures after the paint job. Cobalt blue sounds great. Painting the pillars does not sound like a good idea. You would need etching primer to get a good bond to the aluminum. Best to have them anodized rather than painted. Thanks, and yeah if I decide to paint them I'd buy ...

Re: GIANT Rostock Max v2 Build + parts list! 32" print heigh

@FrznTek, Yes I used 48" rails. The build height is 804.145mm, or 31.6535 inches. I'm sorry if rounding that up to 32" offended you, but it seemed pretty fair. You can't just add the inches to the original extrusion length. Remember that some of that length is hidden inside the top and bottom ...

nice wright up, but 2 things. are you talking about using 48" (4 ft) t-rails? if so IDK how your getting 32" build height. 14.5" + 16" = 30.5" the second thing... if your buying a new kit, save money and contact SeemeCNC first. I just ordered an R Max v2 kit from them and it only cost about $50 ...

Re: makergeeks.com PLA and ABS

I say give it another shot. You will have matching pieces, and it is a good price (IMO)

who knows, maybe that first spool was a fluke, and second time is a charm?

Good price on 1Kg spools and it's made here in the USA.

Woth watching the video on there site to see how filament is made either way :) .

I'm trying to mod it to be 9.25" taller build volume. ^ how will it know that it's OK to go higher then normal? so I need 41.25" T-Slot rails and 94.5" belts. will there be stability issues with the added height, or will I be OK? looking through the manual I see how the belts mount, so no worries ...
