Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide
The GRID pattern (below) uses the same spacing as the LINES option, but is designed to
provide more support where it may help to provide a better end result.
The next new category exposed by the Intermediate setting is called Filament . Under the
Intermediate setting, the only option is Filament . This allows you to set three parameters that deal
directly with the material you're currently using to print with.
Diameter – This is the diameter of the filament you're using. The more accurate this figure is,
the better the quality of your prints. This is because the slicer uses the filament diameter to help
calculate the optimum flow rate for the extruder during the print.
In order to get an accurate filament diameter, spool off a meter or so of filament and check it in
10 spots along the length of the material. Record the measurements using a digital micrometer and
average the results. That average should go into the
Diameter field.
Extruder Temperature – This figure determines the target temperature of the hot end for the
material you're printing with. A typical heat range for ABS is 220 to 240C and 190 to 220C for PLA.
Other materials will have their own recommended temperature ranges.
NEVER, EVER, EXCEED
245C WITH THE STOCK HOT END THAT'S SHIPPED WITH THE Rostock MAX!
The reason for this is because of how the stock hot end is designed. It uses a PEEK section (a
high-temperature plastic) as the “cold end” of the hot end. This material will begin to fail at 247C. If
you need to print with a high-temperature filament such as Nylon, it's highly recommended that you
purchase an all-metal hot end.
Bed Temperature – Like the Extruder Temperature the bed temperature is material-
dependent. For ABS, a typical heated bed temperature range is between 80 and 100C. For PLA the
range is typically 55 to 65C.
Each filament can have different heating requirements, even within the same type and color!
For example, it's not unusual to have two rolls of identical material require different hot end settings.
Bed temperatures tend to be less variable.
When you're working with a new roll of filament, I recommend printing a test object or two in
order to find out what the best temperature setting works best with that material. Note the settings on
the spool label, or add your own. This presents a nice opportunity to explain another feature of
