Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I still have loctite left from the original build so I'll put a little bit on there and hopefully that will help. Thanks!!!

Hi all, I have noticed on a few longer prints (4-5 hours) that my hot end is coming loose. Or at least the nut that is holding it in on top is coming loose. I have the stock v2 version of the Rostock Max so there aren't any modifications that might be affecting this. Basically, before I start a ...

So one of the reasons I pulled the trigger on the RostockMax was because I heard great things about the community. And you didn't fail me at all! Everything is up and running and I now have successfully printed the PEEK fan shroud!!! Many thanks to all of you. I look forward to continuing to learn ...

Good news!!! I'm back up and running - so must have just been those lose wires for the fans that caused the issue. I replaced the two small fuses F2 and F3 and we are back up. So now on to calibration so I can start printing. Thanks everyone for the help!

Thanks! Yes the western union splice was in the manual which was very helpful to have as I hadn't spliced wires before. So I'll go ahead and do the same thing here with these connections. Would you recommend soldering those connections or just wrap them in tape and leave them alone. Another gap in ...

That's a really good suggestion. Quick question - and hopefully this isn't a dumb question - but how do I know what I get will work with the wires on my machine? I see in the manual that the fan wires are 26ga and the connector I found on Amazon says it is 22awg. I know little about electronics so I ...

Thanks. I ordered some new fuses yesterday and they were shipped today. So I can tackle this again next week after our company leaves. But I think the issue was with the fan wires that I didn't tie down or cover up the ends. The hotend had no issues with the auto tune process - it was only when I ...

Oh! Since I just had it built the fan wires are not connected so they are just hanging out near the hot end. I bet you are right...when I was moving the hot end the ends of those wires moved and caused the issue. I'll go ahead and get some extra fuses ordered (and maybe a multimeter as well! A good ...

Thanks all! I actually remembered that I had a small marble game that needed some soldering so I used that as practice. Wasn't too difficult once I got the hang of it. Glad I had it as it gave me some confidence before launching into soldering for the Rostock. Good news is that everything is now ...

Thanks! Seems odd that it would have blown at this point in the calibration process. I would have guessed that this would have happened on section 2.3 when I was doing the auto tune process. So then I'm assuming that I need to pull the hotend off and re-check the wiring? Hopefully it's something ...

I just finished building the Rostock Max V2 and had started on the User Guide for calibration. Everything was working great. I was up to section 2.4 (page 29) to set the Z height and everything was working exactly like it was supposed to according the user manual. I was able to navigate using the ...

Hey everyone! I'm getting my new Rostock Max v2 this week and I can't wait to get started building. Been doing research for awhile on 3D printers and I think I'm going to be very happy with the decision I made. Brand new to the world of 3D printing but I love doing things myself and am looking ...
