Me!So have some mods planned, but do not want to go until I had upgraded. So, now I feel like living in the limbo :-)

I've been patiently waiting, but I am beginning to wonder if the V2 upgrade kit for the V1 will ever be offered.

:D +1 for the V2 upgrade kit.

although I do want it for slightly different reasons.

All my electronics came in for my smoothieboard upgrade, and I'd prefer to build a second printer than upgrading my current one.

I'm guessing that with the upgrade kit + new extrusions + a mcmaster order for the hardware, that should do it.

Any closer to releasing the upgrade kit?

I shudder at the thought of rebuilding my rostock after just doing it and getting it back to working... but I wouldn't be able to resist a chance to rid of my build completely of it's x/y print difference.

I have had the same issue, I always had and I was not able to correct it. I do believe you right in saying that most people just do not print close to the towers. With that said, I still have over 50 DAYS!! of print time on my MAX, and in no way would I ever park it in a garage. I am considering getting one of the new SLA printers coming out and my wife suggested that I sell the MAX to offset the cost.....phsih women :))))

Same here.

I regularly have to print close (some times even outside, hehe!) of the 11" diameter, and in the border region the initial layer does not print a plane across the entire rounded bed.

However, thanks God, I do not have the need to print thin objects, but rather thick. The thickness compensate for the error, so it is not a big issue. However, knowing that this is happening does not feel good, if you know what I mean.

With time, I'd learn the limitations of my machine, came to an agreement with them and I have to say that I am very happy with my Rostock. ... with time and patience, though! ;-)

Do I regret my decision of having this kit as my introduction to 3D printing? Not at all! I am glad did it this way, as I had learned a lot! ... with time! :-)

And ... for those, like me, that ordered the "only laser cut parts", here is a printed replacement I created for the LCD case: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=9159

Also, in the post you can find the panels replacement as well (do not designed by me)
