Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

WOW thundead , I really enjoyed that, Nice vid showing how you purge the nozzle between layers.

Does your machine do 2 layers per hot end and then switch or does it switch over every layer ?

Do you have a few pics of the whole machine to share ?

New materials for IGUS. high wear resistant plastics.

Good little story here 3d Printed full size car http://www.e-ci.com/baam-3d-car/?utm_campaign=World%27s+First+3D+Printed+Car+Machined+on+Thermwood+Model+70&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=14182600&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--C7Dq8F2CbEOMZcftuhRIrfvuXIcMIi4xZJEFt0Sf_YMEBuuFS1n4jAdICC8g ...

So, after having this amazing machine for about 6 months and now that I am making consistent good quality prints, I am getting quite a few enquiries to print for other people. What would a reasonable charge out rate be? I am thinking of 8 - 10$ per hour plus material used? Does that sound excessive ...

Excellent post - I vote this to be a "sticky" or even to be included in the manual.

are you sure you mean a 140mm DIAMETER circle ? or are you referring to a 140mm RADIUS Circle.

I a sure I have printed objects bigger than 140mm with no issues

The advantage for me would be different nozzle sizes. I want one to run my own "lyman extruder" fillament with a .6 nozzle for the infills and then my nice shop bought filament with a .3 nozzle for the perimeters. Thant way I get faster and cheaper prints with good quality "skins" - I hope KISS or ...

Nice print,

What is that on your bed ? aluminuim foil under the glass?

Are you printing on hairspray ?

WOW! I read your post about 10 times and I still cant see how the "feed motor" can physically affect the axis motors. I am sure that the 2 issues are completely separate. 1) are you using PLA or ABS ? 185 is a bit low for ABS, so I would up the temp on the hot end this would make the plastic more ...

Are you sure that the motors are actualy driving the effector down to the bed ? On my printer when the steppers are disabled, the hot-end does slowly "sag" to the bed because of gravity, Though not usually all the arms move at the same rate. Your printer may just be better set up than mine :)

OK, I got some trimmer line ( mine is yellow in this Country ) Printed a few things, BUT. astonished how much "curl" and distortion I am getting. I will try to bake the filament tonight an see if it improves. Just a question for the Trimmer Specialists out there, My EZstruder does not 'grab' the ...

WOW .

626, I Compliment you on your calm handling of that situation.

Also seems to me that he has wired the switches incorrectly.

Just like to know a few opinons on which arms I should upgrade to.

Trick-Laser ?

Xnaron Printable Mag Arms

Or

The new Moulded arm from SEEMECNC

Also please try to take into account cost, hassle factor and performance per buck

Thanks

Jay,

Are you printing with ABS or PLA ?

As a side note.... what is the ideal bed temp for ABS ? , I am using 80 Deg, I feel it should be hotter but my onyx wont go up higher unless i go for a higher voltage power supply.

OH ! wow, that is pure cnc porn... great idea

Please do the code, I am sure there would be loads of users that would pay just for the code alone......

Flateric,

Did you print it in ABS or PLA ?

I was thinking PLA for the Gears and then ABS for the body ?

Any Suggestions ?

So.. I has a large print crash on me and I believe the culprit could be a overheating RAMBO, so I Went all out and slapped on a HUGE 120mm cooling fan. Designed a couple of cool looking fan Grilles on Rhino and printed them out. - Quality is not fantastic as I am still waiting for the Bearing "tyres ...

Thanks Broose, you were spot on. The 5A fuse is blown, now to track down a source in "Darkest Africa"

Was this caused by me not tuning the PID loop before I turned on the hotend ?

to further my investigation, I got the LCD to work now so I can see that the board is getting the signal to heat up the hot end and displays the correct set temp , but just does not actually heat up or switch any power to the terminals Next thing to try would be to switch the extruder to the second ...

Also the Peek fan I connected does not work (no power on the output pins)

This would seem to point to a config issue, but I don't know how to check that

Just assembled my Rostock and I am very happy with how it turned out. Great Build experience. Bearing in mind that I am a total noob to 3d printing, Here is my issue... I loaded up the repetier host for the first time to check it out and the machine worked 100% - all steppers going the right way ...

Seems that it held up at Customs on my side.... The bureaucracy here in South Africa moves slowly.

Hi Guys, By way of introduction... I am new to the world of 3D Printing but have long experience in CAD and CNC Routing. I was just Wondering how long it took for SeeMeCNC to send your Rostock Kit, I ordered it on June the 5th along with some PLA filament. The filament has arrived and now no sign of ...
