First print with Kossel "Mega"

Post by mlapaglia »

Got the arms attached today and printed out a calibration cube from my Rostock converted to Kossel build!

Nice video, but when are you going to show your machine next to a Max so we get a real idea for scale? :)

I gutted the max to make this one.. I used the original Max towers to make this one, they are 3" further apart. While this reduced my max print height a bit, I can move the nozzle all over the build plate much more accurately with ~15 minutes of calibration. You can check out my build log if you want https://mattlapaglia.com/
