Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I'd say go ahead and use those then. I'll try to get a good parts manifest from John to see if we can't clear some of this vagueness out. g. There are four uss for long screws. Axles for the idlers (9) Axles for the wheels on the Cheapskates (15) Adjusters for the limit switches (3) Spacers on the ...

Yes, I have 21 of those.

First official question: I've been looking for the '1.75” long pan head Philips screws' for mounting the idler bearings. I've found 9 screws that fit the description (3 for each tower. 3 idler bearings per tower so checks out), but they don't look like the screws used in Geneb's manual. (page 23, ...

Hah, thx! I want it to be as neat as possible.

Btw, you have one nice looking F15 flight sim in the making! !
Building a flightsim cockpit is something that's been on my To Do list for some time now

Looks good. After you loosely screw the pieces to the bottom base, but before you screw on the top plate, I recommend you install the RAMBo board and power supply, then do as much wiring as you can. I installed the RAMBo power connector, wired the motors, and routed the front power switch wires. I ...

I've checked for symmetry of the table and top plate, and they check out. The door keepers are a nice touch :-) Funny ...

My kit arrived today

I'll start working on it tonight.
Too bad I'm in the middle of exams.

And Welcome!!

I didn't know that. Thx for the tip!

Welcome, Mathias. Printing airfoils sounds like fun. I think the most challenging part of the Rostock MAX will be that it uses US units throughout. You'll do a lot of unit conversion. (-: And spare parts will be hard to get -- don't lose any screws! Hi Kbob, Yes indeed, I've been thinking about the ...

Hi guys, My name's Mathias -Mathy57- and after careful consideration (and hours of reading various topics on this forum) I finally decided to order a Rostock Max kit! Since this will be my first 3D printer, I'm hoping on some tips and tricks from the more experienced builders out there :-) Perhaps a ...
