Tiny Review and First Print off of my New SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX V2 I Picked Up on Discount at the Detroit Maker Faire this Past Weekend

The beast:http://ift.tt/2aVmM8j only calibrating I’ve done so far is the z-axis height. After running the calibration macro in MatterControl for checking all three towers, I was astonished to discover that calibration was dead nuts on without doing anything further. Printed with default settings in MatterControl for “Fine” quality (100 micron), this is what I got using Inland ABS from Microcenter:http://ift.tt/2aTpKNT crap. Again, stock settings for everything, and only half of the calibration process. I’ve got some overhang issues, but overall, this is one hell of a print for being the absolute first thing that came out of a printer that I built with my bare hands. Even though I’ve built my fair share of printers (RepRap and MendelMax), SeeMeCNC should get all the credit for such a fine piece of machinery. The build process was super quick (they estimate 20 hours and I did it in roughly 8 while taking my time) and the instruction manuals are incredibly detailed with a few jokes thrown in here and there.Go buy one! Check to see if SeeMeCNC is an exhibitor at your local Maker Faire and grab one during the event. This past weekend, they had the price at $900 and you obviously don’t need to pay for shipping. Make sure your car is nearby though, because the box is ridiculously heavy (about 40 pounds). http://ift.tt/2aTnLsT
