Re: Domed build platform / bed help...
Although I've only done one print, the Lexan build plate supplied by SeeMe was amazing. At 75C the ABS stuck like glue, and after cooling, you can remove the Lexan and simply flex slightly. POP and it's off! It's almost too simple. No noticeable residue or damage to the plate that I can see. Buy a ...

Re: Domed build platform / bed help...
So, is the answer here to take MHackney's aluminum plate and "counter" bow it to eliminate the Onyx bow? OK, my head is starting to hurt. I've been able to get my raised center area down to .10 or so... and was finally able to make my first test print tonight: the calibration cube from the ...

Re: Hello from Vermont
Hey Guy! Congrats on finishing your build! I finished mine last nite, and printed the calibration cube a few minutes ago.

Re: Domed build platform / bed help...
Thanks for posting guys! MHackney, I think something might have happened to my plate in shipping. With TWO different straight edges, I could easily see about .40mm bow in the plate in most directions except directly across the plate starting from the relief you cut for the connections. My guess is ...

Hello all! My name is Christian, and I'm a Rostockaholic. Just finished building my new Rostock MAX last night! Whooooo Hoooo! Plugged it in, turned it on and nothing blew up! This is probably due to the wonderful work of Geneb, whos manual is awesome. My main reason for build a MAX is to print the ...
