    Mike's gMax XT1.5+ Scratch Build and Questions

    Another great place to shop for parts is http://www.mcmaster.com/# . They offer great prices on all the screws, bolts, and odds and ends needed for the printer. Gathering the parts was a long process. I made up a spreadsheet at first and would go through the build manual and count how many of...

    I am getting into building the printer now as all my extrusions are cut to size, tapped, etc. What count teeth GT-2 Pulleys are used for the front and back of the X Axis and left and right side of the Y Axis? The build manual doesn't give any specific part information on this.

    Looking for 1.0 manual, firmware, config, etc.

    Not the biggest expert on 3D printing but if you want a great, free open source software, give MatterControl a try. I have been using it for several months with great satisfaction. Very easy to set up and use and I get consistent results. MatterControl has the printer profile for the gMax now so...

    I just received two big part orders from gCreate for my gMax 1.5 XT+ build this week and I have to say, you can tell the gMax 1.5+ was carefully thought out and well executed even down to the smallest details. I just got the gMax Aluminum Bed with Heated Build tac Surface and those components...

    For anybody at gCreate in the know, when will these parts available for sale in the online store? I am needing the leg set and Nema 17 motor mounts for my gMax build. Any idea if or when they will be available?

    Getting into my gMax 1.5 XT+ build and have a quick question. I have included an illustration to clarify what I am asking. At the top of each 8mm Lead Screw, there is a white cap. Would this happen to be a Flanged Nylon Sleeve Bearing? I am assuming they are but wanted to be sure before ordering...

    Okay, now another question for anybody that can help me out. I have posted up a screen cap of one of gCreate's videos showing the Extruder Carriage below. I know the front most piece is printed out of the .STL files but where and what size is the metal backing plate with the 4 Delrin Wheels. I...

    Thank you, Gordon! May I also say what an awesome printer you came up with. You have probably seen a lot of orders from me in the last couple of days for parts. I am Scott Whalen. You will see quite a few more orders in the coming weeks. Thanks again.
