Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

i had very similar results, mostly it was this horrid scraping noise, and id get a good scratch across the raft if it happened, but i printed up a lot of little things, and its obviously caught on an edge and noise dived into the build, putting the z tower out. it eventually kept going but it its X ...

Ha. There was a nervous moment when the hot end ramped up to 228 for the print, I must say...

yup, i grabbed that a fresh download this morning, and then when i checked through arduinos port tabs, the printer was gone. so i freshened up everything. So thats: restarted the pc, restarted arduino, reflashed the eeprom_clear to the printer, then put the Repetier.ino file onto it. closed arduino ...

repetier-host gives more information.
i try to connect via com4, or auto, and it returns with an exception handler for portName does not start with COM/com or does not resolve to a valid serial address

thanks for the thoughts. I've tried talking to the printer both with arduino open and mattercontrol, and with arduino closed and matter control open. it makes sense that only one gets to communicate at a time.. Matter control asks if Id like to install a driver, the name of which isn't specificed at ...

Hello all I've just finished putting together my Max, have arduino running and have sent over the repetier 091 rostock master. I can find the printer on com4, and the arduino apparently uploads correctly to the printer. Mattercontrol seems to have it's own ideas.. it just sits there spinning on ...

its arrived, and ive spent the last week putting it together.
and.... no smoke leaked out when I powered it
damn this thing is an impressive thing to build

Hi, while I wait for my Rostock to arrive, I figured I'd introduce myself. My background is in 3d interactive elearning design using cinema4D and Unity3d (think games) with a lot of mechanical 3d. I've worked in Inventor (v9-10) as a structural craftsman. Also, Im fascinated with anatomy. My main ...
