So started assembly of my Rostock in earnest. Went cheap on some things, pricy on others. Waiting on my Budaschnozzle style print head after the cheapie regular nozzle arrived and fell apart in my hands.
So far everything homes and works in manual. Regular Rostock design, Arduino, Ramps 1.4, Airtripper extruder, Marlin_deltabot, Pronterface. 3/4 inch birch ply for the top and bottom and back/side. I differed in I'm using 5/16 zinc plated rods from
Home Depot. They seem to work well with the 8mm slide bearings and have a stiff feel to them. I tire of hunting around for all the metric hardware, I'm thinking of redesigning to standard hardware to save the guys some money
here in the states....
Can't wait to try my first print....
