Rostock Max V2 Effector

thingiverse

This Effector Platform for the Rostock Max V2 was built to incorporate specific design elements:\nUse new ball-joint arms\nUtilize an E3Dv6 Hot End\nIncorporate a light (in this case, a 70mm 'angel eyes' from AliExpress)\nAdd layer fan mounts with internal ducts that aim cooling airflow from all directions just below the nozzle (so it cools the plastic but does not affect the nozzle temperature as the fans start and stop). \nBe as compact and rigid as possible while maintaining the original build envelope (and be aesthetically pleasing!)\nI originally started modifying the design by Jim Mustard's to add a light and the ball joints, but ended up starting again from scratch. Full credit and thanks to his original design for the concept I built upon.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n SeeMeCNC\n \n Printer: \n Rostock MAX\n \n Rafts: \n No\n \n Supports: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Resolution: \n 0.2mm\n \n Infill: \n 100 percent\n \n Notes: \n Printed at 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle using ABS with 100 percent infill. \nThe only support I used is for the 'roof' of the light-ring slot. This is covered by the light ring once it's installed so any affect on surface finish to that part of the print isn't seen. Don't let the slicer put supports inside the ducts - You'll never get them out! If you can't select where the support goes then print without any support at all. \nPost-Printing\nBrass screw inserts are melted into the bottom of the platform (inside the angel-eyes mounting slot) at the 6 locations that secure the ball-joint arms. They are inserted from the bottom as they provide much more strength being in the main body than in the thin locating studs that locates the ball-joints on the top. \nThe 'angel eyes' light-ring snaps into place and is held by three lugs. It is not glued or screwed.\nI lightly sanded the surface of the effector and then wiped with a soft cloth dipped in acetone to smooth it ( I don't have a vapor bath setup yet). Not necessary, just personal choice. \nHow I Built This\nBuilt in 123D design
