Another way to preserve the buildtak surface is to use a Maghold build plate for easy removable of prints. Magholds will avoid scrapes and scratches to the print surface while saving you time to start on your next print. Check out our website at
http://www.3dprintermods.com . Currently Maghold is compatible with printer models: CTC versions, FF Creator, Qidi, Makerbot Replicator, and Prusa i3. Happy printing!

And you blatantly posted this commercial advertisement as your first post on a Rostock Max delta forum and you don't even support the Rostock? For shame, for shame. I'm moving this to the Member Marketplace forum.

Heh, Blatant misguided commercialism as a first post. {Snark} Great impression for your business. {/Snark} I would ask for my money back if you have a social media/advertising consultant (note that the two should be separate). Although it doesn't look like it will matter for a while, since you appear to have not noticed a few key things:
1) This is a user's forum for a printer you have no products for.
2) Your primary product is an accessory for a build surface most of us don't use, for various reasons.
3) There is a competitor (geckotek3d) of yours, who already supports our printers, meaning we aren't in any hurry to jump on a new, unproven product by someone shady enough to pull this sort of crass advertising.
{Snark} So, great job. I'm sure you'll get lots of business from us. I'm personally just DYING to put a square mount on a round plate. {/Snark}
In all honesty, you seem to have some serviceable products. (not great though). For printers that you are unlikely to find a whole lot of here, thanks to this being a user's forum primarily for owners of not just a different printer, but a different geometry of printer. Your pieces seem adequately machined. So there is some technical talent there. But all the intellectual chops you'd want to stand out seem missing. Your website is a mess, with the domain name being the only redeeming quality. Somehow, you've managed to make it such that when I click for a full size image, it gets SMALLER. Your hotends are probably meant to be a drop in replacement for the ones on the ZIM. But you never say why yours are better. You use an overly pointed nozzle that will produce poor quality prints. You provide next to no detail or documentation for your products beyond the obvious (and keywords that will attract searches)
Here's some advice, Gratis, from me. You're in a market where any guy from china can do it just as well as you, cheaper. The way you want your products to stand out is to make it easy to know anything people want to about them, make them easy to use (and easier to understand), and let people know why they want your products over what's already on the market.
