Hey All! Just introducing myself!

Hey community what are you printing today!? I'm Rob. 21 year old in the USAF. Picked up 3d printing as a fun/frustrating hobby. :) Currently I've only been printing boxes for electronic cigarettes that me and my buddy are building. I forgot to mention I'm printing on a RS Max v2. So my question is though using Repetier Host the default bed size is 150x150. What is the true bed size, or most commonly used for the largest bed size? I know each printer is a little different but I wanted to hear your guys thoughts.

One of the boxes, still prototyping it.

Yeah, its a jagermeister bottle. But I unfortunately live in the dorms so it's really more an a vanity that serves many purposes and not in a bathroom. :p My AFSC is 3D1X3 RF Transmission Systems.(Ground Radio/SATCOM)

I just completed my Max about 3 weeks ago and had the same question. I use 280 X 280. Great work on that box. I am a mechanical engineer and projects like that are exactly what got me excited about the Rostock Max. Thank you for your service.

You certainly can. It looks like you can buy the printed parts for $40 at their store but make 'em yourself.

I want to print that too! You should make a build thread if you actually do it. :)

Awesome, 2W0X1 (Munitions Systems) myself. Hopefully you're at a decent base and not suck working with the Army like myself :p

Why "Kafka"?

Are you a fan of Franz Kafka?
