Rooks are good project printers for learning how a printer really works and getting hands on. This was an amazing build video, just my worry if I build one myself is that I’m just gonna say “okay that was fun,” print a few things on it then put it on a shelf and never use it again. It doesn’t really have that same performance or upgradeability of a V0.2 or something else that I could build for a bit more money and get as a kit if I don’t feel like self sourcing.
Thank you! I understand; however, in my case, I had most of the parts lying around. And I needed a small printer that could be built easily without breaking the bank.
Amazing video 👏 I use this same hotend on my printers, it works well at high speeds for a good price. The only problem was a thermal error where the temperature reading varied greatly when the assembly moved very quickly. I solved this by removing the jst connector from the sensor and soldering it.
This is such a nice, clean version. It appears that you’ve customized some of the parts adding the Rook logo and name. Are you planning on releasing the .STLs for those?
Thanks. I made one customised part i.e. bottom cover plate for covering the electronics and for mounting the z end stop. If you want I can share the file in the video description.
Probably not too much, a good chunk of components were cheap knock offs. The rails for example say HiWin on them but they definitely aren't genuine, they lack the laser etching on the rail
Cost was around 250$ excluding Motors, Extruder, Bed and Power supply. Motors, extruder and power supply were reused from one of the old 3d printer. Guide rails weren't genuine however sliding blocks used were original Hiwin.
thats the most refined Rook I've seen yet
Thanks!
Great work, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the tip!
What a dedicated work, I love it. Looks so clean, hope it prints as expexted. Congrats.
Thank you very much!
Love the Rook hope you enjoy it as much as I do. From the creator of the Rookery. Gul
I love it!
Amazing build. Good job bro. Love the colour combo
Glad you like it
Will there be more videos of the Rook MK1 showing you wiring it up and it printing?
um! Let's see
Beautiful build! I also love the addition of the white Cable chain in back. Is it printing well for you?
Thanks! I have some other plans for this printer. So stay tuned for the updates.
Also, I loved your 2020 MK2 build
@@LoopLinks Thanks! Will look forward to seeing your future plans!
Stl for cable tunnel ?
Refer to the description; I have added the links to it.
The prints are incredibly clean! what material was used?
Blue one is PLA and grey one is PETG
@@LoopLinks Great! PLA is stiffer than PETG and ABS, but I wonder how it will deal with the heat during printing?

@@LoopLinks Could you please share the bottom plate stl? Your build looks really clean!
Refer to the description; I have added the links to it.
Construction came out nice! Are you working in PLA?
Blue one is PLA and grey one is PETG
do you use abs?
PLA
I wonder what the total cost estimate comes to?

How much did it cost you?
I spent around $250; however, I already had a few parts lying around. For the total cost, you can refer to the official BOM.
Quality Video!
Very cool
