Rostock Max V2 Poor Mans Windshield

thingiverse

I'm creating this print to prevent heat cracks from delamination when printing large objects on my Rostock. Despite tweaking every setting imaginable, the final solution was to develop a shield that blocks cold air from reaching the print bed. This design allows you to place a poster-board shield around the print bed without disrupting anything and requires no additional hardware. Printer Settings: Brand: SeeMeCNC Model: Rostock MAX BYOE Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: Choose settings that work best for you. The infill doesn't need to be super dense since the poster board's weight is negligible. Post-Printing Instructions: Print out six holders as shown in the images above. Position them at each corner where the frame meets the black plastic covers over the bottom pulleys. You'll need two sheets of 22" x 28" Poster board cut into 11" x 28" sections (or three sheets for a full 22" tall shield) and slot them in as demonstrated. Ensure they overlap at least one printed part, and the slots holding the part onto the printer should be snug but not too tight – lightly sandpaper the opening if necessary. Some parts will fit further into place than others; those near the control panel almost fully insert while the rest only go in about 3/8". This won't cause any issues since the poster board is extremely light. This design was created with a Rostock Max V2 in mind, but it may work on a V1 or Orion – I make no promises.
