[Brendon]

Hello. My name is Brendon and I just bought a Max v2. I am a CAD software developer by trade and I spend a couple days a week volunteering at my kid's high school where we have several 3D printers. I teach the kids how to program, work in CAD, build stuff, whatever it is they want to do. We have two old 3D Touch machines, a FormLabs Form 1, an AirWolf XL (which belongs to a student), and a partially finished Mendel 90 that the kids are building. I decided to buy the Rostock for myself to build and then bring it in since we don't have any delta printers and I would like the kids to learn all the different types of 3D printers if possible. My goal is to make this Max v2 a nylon printer since we already have other printers for PLA and ABS. To that end, I have ordered an E3D v6 hot end to install right off the bat. I've also purchased motor dampeners and Noctua fans. This evening I opened the box and put together the base and power supply. So far so good!

Welcome to the family of Max owners Brendon. If you have the chance be sure to take a few pics along the way and start a build thread. I bet many of us will enjoy watching the build and also how it goes at the school. The Max is really something to see in person and I bet the kids at the school will really love it when they see it in action. If you hit any issues I am sure someone here will have the answers if you post a question. That is one of the greatest things about being a Max owner for me and may others... Knowing that there is such a large and active support base. Looking forward to the build pics and once again, Welcome to your great new adventure as a MAX owner.
