Rostock MAX v2 Piezo Probe Effector

thingiverse

I was determined to modernize the Catskill Maker Syndicate's Rostock Max v2, dragging it out of the Stone Age. I had already begun tweaking the firmware to bring it up to speed with escher3d.com. Seeking a low-cost and challenging DIY approach to implementing dc42's least squares calibration algorithm, I embarked on this project and learned how to utilize Fusion 360 along the way. This method should work with most iterations of the Rostock Max v1/v2, including the lasercut trucks and u-joint arms, but I have not had any testers yet. For assistance, please refer to instructions.pdf, which provides guidance on assembly, bill of materials, and all the pitfalls I encountered. Here is the BOM for your convenience: • Piezo20 PCB v 1.4 • e3d v6 genuine or clone • plenty of 25mm piezo buzzers • spade drill bit with ~4mm start section • Dupont 2.54mm crimps • 3 meters of wire (spare ethernet cable) • 20cm of 16 gauge enameled magnet winding wire • new longer bowden tube (probably) • Piezo effector printed parts ◦ Main body ◦ Top body ◦ Piezo shim ◦ Groovemount pusher ◦ 3 x printed standoff • 3 x 60mm M3 screws (or 60mm #6-32) • 2 x 35mm M3 pan head/socket head screws • 2 x 8mm M3 pan head screws • 5 x M3 Nut • 3 x M3 Nylock Nut ( or very slim 3 x #6-32 ) • #30 drill bit • Letter P drill bit (may vary) • 2 punches (green handles) • 7/16ths Nut driver/socket (may vary) • SeeMeCNC aluminum standoffs • SeeMeCNC effector and ball joints • Modified SeeMeCNC fan shroud (repables e3d)
