Re: Rostock Max V1 Binding in U-joint arm. Repair or upgrade path

Hi all, In the end I just went and bought it from the shop. Seems to be stuck somewhere (hopefully on a plane :lol:). I dismantled the whole end effector and arms and found quite a few rough spots. Polished the rods, cleaned the U joints, sanded the end effector, losened some screws and I can now ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 Binding in U-joint arm. Repair or upgrade path

Hi Geneb, Thansk for the input, after looking at the shipping cost I'm really wondering if there are any oveseas sellers or alternative kits. For now I've sanded the plastic part that holds the axle in place with the 4 screws and loosend them a tiny bit. Now I can rotate it with just one finger ...

Rostock Max V1 Binding in U-joint arm. Repair or upgrade path

Hello everyone, I've been fighting with this printer for over 5 weeks. I upgraded to the latest FW and tweaked settings, re-squared the towers and their distances, re-measured all the off-sets and dimensions, followed multiple calibration guides but I just can not get a good first layer. Today I set ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

Hello Again! So after a few iterations I made a hall effect z probe ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2492779 ) And I've got most things working . I'm also no longer crashing the hotend into the bed or towers unless I forget to lower the probe, and I at the point where I can run the bed height map ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

Ok, after comparing files, settings and flags I found out why it wasn't compiling. I had placed a decimal point in one of the z values and it only expected integers. I now have the latest FW from the SeeMeCNC github with z probe enabled. :cry: I'm still running into hotend crashed into the bed. G30 ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

Hi DeltaCon, Its from the Seemecnc, it's not the latest as the Repetier wizard one is a bit newer but I'll go there if I can't get this one to work. I'll try setting the configurations for a Rostock V3 and see if it compiles. Currently as soon as I enable the Z probe in the firmware I get the ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

I missed the part where you used a level. However, have you checked out this thread? http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=4868 I've had a look at these threads for a bit. Quite a bit to go over. One of the stinky changes in version 0.92 is that at some point they defined the motorcurrent ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

It didn't sound like you put a straight edge to the glass. Tower Alpha angles will cause high/low spots between towers. By default they are set at 210, 330, and 90 degrees. To me a straight edge is a level as I very rarely see them individually :lol: Just checked the towes, all appear to be at 90 ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

I am curious. You say your glass isn't flat, but not what you are comparing it with. Well, I'm assuming that since I got my end stops adjusted and measured the 3 towers and centre of the bed withing +-20um that the points between towers should also be at the same height if the glass has a flat ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

There is no autolevel nor calibration in Repetier firmware as far as I know According to the wiki "Repetier firmware since v0.91 supports G29 Auto Bed Leveling" Regarding auto calibration I can't find a clear answer (horizontal_radius...) continuous re-calibration, and that is pretty tedious... So ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

Ok, after some more crashes I think I might be onto something. The Z-probe works fine (apparently with "G31 - Write signal of probe sensor" works, Low when there is no contact, High when there is contact) G30 P0 works visually, probes the bed but Z always returns a value similar to the current Z ...

Re: Hello from Spain!

Well I picked it up pretty cheap and yeah, it's V1. The hardware works fine, already have new dual extruders and hotends on the way. Currently I'm having bed issues after removing the glass to clean it and wanted to get Autolevel and autocalibration running (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

Re: Rostock Max V1 latest and greates FW for autoleveling

Ok I've had 5 hotend crashes at full speed into the hotbed or towers... I never knew the arms could flex so much. G29 works but the end result shoving the hotend into the bed on one side and floating it about6-8mm of the bed on the other side. Sometimes it just rams into whatever it chooses. G32 ...

Rostock Max V1 latest and greatest FW for autoleveling

Hi again! So I found out that the boroscilate glass bed is pretty uneven... I've spent over 9h calibrating the towers and horizontal_radius to achieve within 0.02mm between probes (used a brand name dial indicator) only to get +/-1mm between the highest and lowest point on the glass... I built a ...

Hello from Spain!

Hi all! Just picked up a semi built Rostock Max and finished it. Been all week testing and calibrating it, lots of fun ;) Even though it's summer here the first upgrade was a 24V (set to 19V) power supply as I couldn't get over 80ºC with nice 10AWG wires. I only have ABS so it was a critical upgrade ...
