Spend a very hard working weekend at the Mid West Rep-Rap Festival building the Rostock MAX. It took about 30 hours to solo build as well as helping others where I could.
Big thanks to all that were involved in putting on that event!
Got 4 test prints done without getting into serious calibration - she works well!
I do have a script that can be pasted into the GCode editor "Script xx" and saved that will make sending commands to get the end stops dialled in a little easier
The computer I am using it with runs Fedora 17 64 bit. I have had a sod of a time getting the USB serial port to work reliably - permissions problems for Reptier and the port was created on another address when power or USB connection was cycled.
I found fixes here...
Create rules that automatically rename USB serial adapter to the same thing.

Automattically reset permissions each time the device is created (Plugged in)

Code: Select all
; This is written for a Rostock Max with an Onyx bed - if you have the smaller square beds the
; extruder head will be off the side of your bed!
; Make sure you have your Z0 set and stepper directions set correctly otherwise
; you might crash the extruder into the bed or the sliders into the ceiling
g28 ; Home all axes
g01 x0 y0 z20 f7500 ; Drop to centre of bed (~20mm off)
g01 f500 ; Slow moves
; ****!!! DANGER make sure this won't crash the extruder DANGER !!!***
; I suggest starting with Z10 and eyeballing it the first time, then reducing the value.
g01 x0 y0 z1 ; Drop closer to bed (~1mm)
m1 s10 ; Pause ten seconds
