Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide

0 – Introduction and Acknowledgments

I’d like to welcome you to the Rostock MAX v2 assembly guide!

Even if you've built an original Rostock MAX v1 3D printer, you'll want to read this manual

carefully. There are no common Melamine parts from the v1 design. The construction has been greatly

streamlined and should prove to be a shorter build. The design changes made will ensure that you've

got a long lasting, easy to calibrate, delta configuration 3D printer.

Please read this entire guide before you begin assembly of your new Rostock MAX v2! It will

help you avoid any unpleasant surprises and will ensure that you’ve got everything you need BEFORE

you need it! Understand that the photographs in this assembly guide do NOT tell the whole story of

each step! Make sure you read and understand the accompanying text for each step!

A quick note on the RAMBo, the controller for your Rostock MAX. The RAMBo is static

sensitive, so please don't take it out of the static bag it ships in until you're ready to use it.

The box containing the RAMBo and its wiring should also contain a printed, black & white

sheet that looks like this:

http://www.reprap.org/wiki/File:Rambo-conn-all.jpg

Please refer to this sheet when you reach Chapter 18. This is a valuable guide to wiring the

RAMBo up to your Rostock MAX. Note that the connector polarity is clearly marked on the board for

the “MOSFET Outputs”.

Acknowledgments

I'd like to thank the gentleman that runs http://minow.blogspot.com.au/ for his excellent guide

on calibrating delta configuration 3D printers.

I'd also like to thank the whole gang over at the SeeMeCNC forums for providing excellent

feedback. This would be a much lesser creation without their contributions and insights.

Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide

1 – Required and Optional Tools And aterials

Before you begin assembly of your Rostock MAX v2, please make sure you’ve got everything

on the following list of tools and additional materials.

•P1 & P2 sized Phillips screwdrivers

•Standard flat head screwdriver

•3/32” Allen (hex) wrench. A ball-end, T-handle version is a good choice for this and the other

sizes of Allen wrenches used

•5/32” Allen (hex) wrench.

•7/64” Allen (hex) wrench.

•Needle nose pliers

•Forceps – these will come in handy when routing the belts and reaching for small, hard to reach

parts. They can be purchased from Amazon for as little as $3.50 for a set of two.

•Wire strippers

•Wire cutters

•5/16” open-ended wrench (Used primarily on the nuts that hold the Cheapskates together)

•2 7/16” open end wrenches. (used to adjust Cheapskate Bearings)

•11/16” open-ended wrench (used for hot-end mount)

•PermaTex Ultra Copper High Temp RT

Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide

•A small razor knife like an X-Acto knife. This will be handy for cleaning the flashing off the

injection molded parts.

•1/2” wide roll of Kapton tape

•Uninsulated crimp on connectors, sized for 22-18ga wire.

Radio Shack P/N 640-3036 is an excellent choice.

•A digital caliper. These can be purchased from Harbor Freight tools for around $10.

•A small squeeze clamp that can open at least 2”

•Crimping tool (Jameco P/N 159266 is a good choice)

•Battery powered screwdriver. If you ever needed an excuse to buy one of these, THIS IS IT.

•Pencil.

•40W Soldering Iron.

•Blue thread locking compound (Loctite or Permatex Threadlocker Blue)

•A small file.

•Elmer's Glue Stick – must be marked “Disappearing Purple”.

Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide

The following is a list of optional things that can make your life easier in the long run.

•Electrician's tape.

•Waxed lacing cord. You can use this in place of wire ties in pretty much any application. You

can find it here: http://www.skygeek.com/wht-string.html. While expensive, you'll never really

need to buy a wire tie again and it'll likely last you the rest of your life. :)

•.100” (2.54mm) Latching Polarized Male Housing (1x4) and matching crimp pins. This is used

to add a connector to the end of the EZStruder extension cable and makes life a lot easier. You

can purchase 2 of these connectors and their associated crimp pins from Hansen Hobbies

(http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/pt1inlpconnectors/pt1in_lp_1x4/) very

inexpensively. The link for the pins is shown in the description for the male housing.

If you want to be able to change your hot end easily, I would highly recommend getting quick-

disconnect connectors for the hot end as well as the PEEK and layer fans.

For the hot end, I'd recommend these four connectors:

This is a four pin, latching polarized male connector housing. This should be

used on the hot-end heating resistor wires and thermistor wires. I'll illustrate the

correct installation in the chapter that covers those steps.

This is a four pin, latching polarized female connector housing. This should be

attached to the wires coming from the power supply. The female connector is

used here in order to prevent accidental shorting of the power and thermistor

leads. Some of these are included in the RAMBo box.

This is a female JST connector. These are very nice connectors for both the

PEEK and layer fans. These would be fitted to the power leads of the fans.

This is a male JST connector. Just as with the male hot end connector, these

would be attached to the power wires coming up from the RAMBo.

Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide

The use of these connectors is entirely optional! This is how I like to rig my printers and it's

entirely okay to not do this. The pre-assembled printers from SeeMeCNC don't include these

connectors, so don't feel obligated to use them. Now that being said, having a quick-disconnect hot end

is just cool. :)

The JST connectors can be purchased from Hansen Hobbies as well – just make sure you order

the right pins! Read the description pages carefully.

The JST connectors can be found here:

http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/miscconnectors/

The Latching Polarized connectors can be found here:

http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/pt1inconnectors/

If you don't already have a crimping tool, the one shown above will do the job, but the best

choice would be a ratcheting crimp tool like this one from Pololu: http://www.pololu.com/product/1928

That's the tool that I use on my projects. It's reasonably priced at $34.95.

There was a great discussion on the SeeMeCNC forums recently on how to properly use this

kind of crimping tool. I recommend you check it out if you haven't used this kind of tool before.

As an additional resource, Hansen Hobbies has produced an excellent wire crimping tutorial

here: http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/Connectors.pdf
