As a Christmas present for my father in December 2014, I decided to get my father a Rostock Max v2 kit. And of course, assembly was included! About 20-25 hours of work, and I got it together. I've attached a few pictures of the process. I'm very pleased with the result, but like any non-commercial product, it's a kit and requires some DIY type fiddling. After assembly I had trouble with the supplied power supply not keeping a constant voltage output under load, so I elected to upgrade to a 24V bed heater and separate 12V hot end power supply. Though the folks at SeeMeCNC happily gave me a replacement supply, I elected for a more "industrial" solution. These heat much more quickly, so it's handy for getting prints started fast. It took a few more hours to get wired up, and there have been plenty of additional improvement projects along the way. Eventually I'd like to do an enclosure because the white ABS I've been working with has been very troublesome.
