I know this may be in the wrong forum so if it is please chuck it where it should be! Ta!
I know how to get the heads out and put them back in. What I’m a bit numpty on is relining the heads. I need to get the old bucket working again as the Mimaki is getting busy.
Thanks for any help. 😉 -

Karl managed to find for the Rocky 2 on google but not your machine bear in mind that its the same as a Rocky 1 or Falcon printer you might get some hits searching under them.

Thanks for any help. 😉Get a professional in to do it. You should have learnt your lesson from the problems you caused by fiddling with your Mimaki.

I know where you can get a manual for a rockhopper 38 from Karl for about £20 it says maintenance repair and order part numbers. Might be of help. PM me and i’ll send you the link.

Keep your opinions to yourself Ben and drop the attitude. For your first post on here you’ve got off to a good start. When you can do your job right then criticise me. Until then button it.

hello all,
karl be very carefull what you do, it is not just fitting the the head and lining it up, you have to set the head voltage, which should be on the side of the new head, also when working on the machine have you removed the power lead and powered up, to discharge any voltage in the machine, as you can blow the fuse on the main board or even blow the board itself, hope this has been of help,
regards

My job isn’t in question, don’t forget who told you how to get your machine fixed under warranty? It seems you haven’t learnt your lesson after all. Why not listen to what Alan has to say. Wise words.
As for my first post, I wasn’t offensive or rude to you so no problem in my eyes. I didn’t see the word ‘Moderator’ under your picture so perhaps you need to take a rain check.
Bye for now. 🙂

Thanks for that Alan. Yes the machine is off when i’m in there with the spanners so to speak. I appreciate your advice mate. I think most printer owners would jump at the chance to repair their own machines. After all if it keeps the cost down who can argue with them.

I will take Alans advice. The man knows what he’s talking about. As for the problem with the Mimaki…….You offered no advice. Advice was obtained from board members on this site who have been thanked for there assistance. I have given help and advice on many occasions on this site and have been helped also many times. It’s what the site is for.

Good on you Karl. In the end you’ll save way more than you risk by learning to service and repair your own machine 😀

Thanks Bill. I think at the end of the day it’s like owning a car. I service my own car. I do the repairs. If you take on a large purchase like buying a printer it makes sense to know how the thing ticks for when you get caught out especially when you’re busy.

Its a matter of preference if you choose to do your own repairs,
some people do their own decorating, and car repairs.
some get in the professionals.
many people could make their own signs, but thank goodness most choose a sign shop/maker.I make signs for a living, I let my mechanic service my car, simply because making signs earns me more money than messing with my car.

its been interesting looking at the expensive large format machines, as experienced I have put the question to the manufacturers about working on the machine, am i covered or not?! well as long as I spend time at the factories at my own cost, I could be considered competent but it is a lot of money involved.
Anyway, glad to see your having a go with Rocky, sadly I cannot help or advise but as u may know the mimaki has an alignment procedure that can take an hour or so.
