I just want anyone who's wondering to know, the person who designed The Rook is Super-Decent, super concerned about providing a good experience, and very detailed minded. I know he'll stand by his products to the max, and be there for his users when they absolutely need some guidance. If you're interested in building your first 3D printer, the kit will be fantastic, and the journey will be an adventure you'll want to remember for a long long time. These words were not paid for in any way. I know the created, and have learned over time that he is an honorable man.
love seeing how these machines are evolving. I've been recommending the rook for newer hobbyists that have been intrigued but intimidated by the idea/cost of building their first custom printer. it definitely looks like a wonderful and fun first building experience.
Nice!!! I love the surprise!!! But, I am going to have to wait till after I move to print/build these. I already have 10 printers to move from Texas to Hawaii.
Congrats for the release! Probably I'm not gonna build 3D printer in the nearest future but I wanna buy design file to support creators that are releasing that much stuff openly. Thanks!
I just bought the rook evolution files, because I think this is a cool project, also I have like 10 stepper motors laying around of a rebuilt creality printer, so making the 2020 one will be my little project from this I also happen to have a board that was gifted to me as well that will probably fit this perfect, since I want/need a small footprint printer so I dont need to run my big bulky printers for smaller things
Can't wait for the Fortress! What an awesome surprise :) Will acrylic panels be an option now or are they still have structural elements like on the Evo, so still need to be printed? Presumably those Fortress panels are a bit larger too and won't print on 150mm build plate?
you could use acrylic panels however the linear rails still attach to the upper panels, some 2020 could be added though to fix that, fortress panels are larger
I'd rather see the rook 180 enclosed, however I noticed the rook 180 is really weak. I dropped it from a couple of feet and half the parts broke in half and I'm printing on the Bambu X1-Carbon so don't think it's bad print quality.
it could actually be the print quality, CNC Kitchen made a video about the Bambulab printing too fast for strong parts in stock configuration (and how to fix it).
I think a lot of it is the table it is sitting on, thin plastic top. but the linear rails are attached to the side panels so it might be some of that too

Please note Fortress and Evolution STL will be different, I may not have been too clear on that
hey i just got the rook evolution files, but there was no fortress build yet, will i still get it when its released?
@birdmananyweather1681 yes you will get them once I release, fortress should be out in a month
@@Rolohaun thank you so much for the reply!! Amazing videos BTW, so excited to build my first rook. Do some of the models need support?
@birdmananyweather1681 I don't belive so, if there are it would be the motor pods but very minor
Wow, sometimes it feels like you're pumping out more printers than Creality, lol! This is awesome, can't wait to build it.

Looks great! I'm enjoying watching your progression as a designer.
Just bought the files. Excited to check this out. I was planning on building the Rook 2020, but I'm really excited for this.
👍👍😎👍👍. Sounds very interesting ….. I’m definitely going to buy your plans and will be building the Fortress once the files are ready.

thank a bunch for the support! Appreciate it!
NGL, did not expect the surprise bonus, thanks!
Amazing work, Im in the middle of building your PhoenixDelta, so i know what ill be building next :) Very nice suprise :) Thank you for your work
Excellent work as always
Thank you so much 😀
So awesome, thanks for the 2020 version as a bonus too!
Stoked! glad I signed up for patreon!
Awesome! Thank you!
Really interesting design. Is the fortress a preference build, or does it offer significant performance improvements?
Fortress is stiffer due to the 2020 frame
This looks awesome! But really I can’t wait for the 180 😜

Really loved your work. Thank you ❤
This will be my first build from scratch! It can be a challenge, but where is the fun without a bit of a challenge haha! Awesome dude! 😁🤟
Have fun!
@@Rolohaun Thanks! :)

Kudos to you!
A happy coincidence 😊 indeed.
Got one. Thanks
good job man!
Great work!
would you consider selling a version with all the parts that are not 3d printed? Like a pack of all the parts minus the printable files
there could be some venders making kits if this becomes popular
Purchasing now! What's the estimated filament and print time for each the evo and fortress on a mk3?
Number of parts: 90
print time is hard to measure
Total filament used: 2722 g
Panels: 1584 g
Everything else: 1138 g
Whats the chance we could get the fortress scaled up to work with an ender 3 bed?
I have plans for something along those lines soon
Well that was a surprise!

OK I’ll look into it, thanks
the 12mm rods are heavy and can easily break a 3d printed frame. The Rook 180 MK1 update should help make it easier to enclose
I was hoping for a rook 180 with 400 or 320 bed. 😅
oh sorry haha, there are some mods on the discord for larger designs of mine
Why does it sound like it’s dying when it moves? Some really bad vibration
I think a lot of it is the table it is sitting on, thin plastic top. but the linear rails are attached to the side panels so it might be some of that too
Anyone have a ballpark figure for the hardware cost for this project?
it''s on the BOM
Do you think there is a way to increase the build plate?
I would wait for my Rook 180 MK1 release if you want a larger bed
@@Rolohaun okay, your designs are very cool.
So what files do I need or not need of printables
this printer is for sale on myminifactory www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-rook-evolution-fortress-corexy-3d-printer-289167
how many piece lego set is the Rook 2020 😂
50 haha
So, Fortress 180 next? 🙂
I am going to work on Rook 180 now and then work on my Defiant printer
Does it use servos?!
normal nema 17
i thought this was pokemon
👍
Isn’t this just copy paste Voron 0?
No
