Just introducing myself. I bought a Rostock Max a couple of weeks ago and been having a blast putting it together. Its my first 3d printer. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and so far haven't had any luck convincing my boss that I need a 3d printer on my desk at work.
So I bought my own to play with. Just want to say thanks to all those who have contributed so much to this forum and to the instruction manual. Both have been very helpful in setting me up for success. I already have purchased the magnets and steel balls to convert to magnetic joints, and have also upgraded my power supply, and hot end resistor. I'm still a long ways from getting really great prints off of it but things are looking promising. The only real snag I ran into was getting my abs plastic to stick to my glass build plate. I tried several different kinds of hair spray, and then tried blue tape, I eventually got one print to kinda sorta stick so I let it finish printing. I will need to investigate this further, and find a more reliable method.
I present to you my fellow Rostock Max owners, my first official 3d print:
I always look forward to seeing what you guys come up with for innovations and enhancements to the Rostock, perhaps along the way I can help contribute in that same respect.
