I received a Rostock Max V2 from SeeMeCNC.com for my 30th birthday:
According to the website, it has a build envelope of nearly 1300 cubic inches, which is on the larger side for DIY kit 3d printers.
It's a "delta" configuration (as opposed to cartesian) - there are a couple trade-offs here:
- Delta's usually have a stationary build platform (some cartesians do, too) which means the part doesn't move, which usually means shorter build times due to less acceleration and jerk problems.
- Delta's can move the effector platform very quickly, but can't handle a lot of mass on the effector platform. This can be mitigated by using a bowden type extruder. Bowden extruders have problems with flexible filaments.
A couple other trade offs with this kit:
- The extruder is a J-head type: it uses a PTFE heat break, which maxes out at 247C. Printing in Nylons and some filled-PLAs requires higher temps. I might switch to an all-metal hotend in the future if I want to print Nylons on this thing.
