I purchased an "early bird" ROSTOCK MAX kit from SeeMeCNC and have been slowly putting it together over the last few weeks, I'd say I'm about 85% done with the build. I've completed the mechanical assembly and have been getting my feet wet with the electrical assembly. It's rather daunting for a newb (this is my first 3D printer) but I'm enjoying it. I've had a few issues with missing parts (belt clamps) and bolts (about half of what was required for housing assembly) etc. but so far I'm managing. Looks like I purchased the wrong sized filament as well, 3mm as opposed to 1.75. So I guess l'll have to purchase a 3mm extruder, couplings and Teflon piping to accommodate it. I might as well just build a second extruder/filament unit while I'm at it, eh?
I've just installed the endstop switches with LED light indicators. I'll be working on the heated bed wiring next.
I'm busy setting up a blog to document the build and will post a link once I've got it populated with some imagery.
I'm looking forward to my first print.
