Configuring the Rostock Max v3.2

Close Cura, Mattercontrol, or other slicers you may have open.

Close any non-3D related programs, like Arduino or other programs that may use the USB com port.

If you are running windows, click here to download the Duet Wifi Drivers. If you are running Mac or Linux, you won't need them - skip this step. Unzip the file and save the drivers somewhere you'll be able to find them. On windows 10, just right click the "duet.inf" file and choose install. On windows 7, you'll need to find the duet in Device Manager and click update driver.

1. Right Click on the Duet.inf file and choose "install"

2. Allow windows to install the driver

If you don't already have a program installed to send commands to a 3D printer, we recommend YAT (Download here: click here to open sourceforge). Once it's downloaded you shouldn't need to change any settings, just connect to the printer.

CLICK HERE > Follow this guide to download and install the latest firmware

Mac OSX Users: Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal .

Run ls /dev/tty.*

Copy the result that has USB in the name. For example; /dev/tty.usbmodem1411

Run screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 115200. Replace "usbmodem1411" with the result you received. You should see a blank screen. Hit enter and you should see OK returned. You are connected successfully.

Plug the micro USB cable into the USB slot on the (top) middle of your printer.

Connect to the printer with YAT, S3D, MatterControl, or carrier pidgeon. Note that you'll need to set the baud rate to 115200 in order to connect. Carrier pigeon baud rates vary by vendor.

Send the following Gcode to the printer: M552 S0 Then send: M587 S"your-network-ssid" P"your-network-password"

Send: M552 S1 and after a few seconds, you should see a confirmation that you're connected, along with the IP address of your printer. Write the IP address down, you'll use it in the next steps

Make sure your printer is close to your Wifi Router. If you a getting a lot of AJAX disconnected errors, it's probably because the printer can't talk to your wifi reliably. Keep the distance between them to a minimum.

Go to the "G-Code Console" page.

In the text field, type in M997 S0:1 . This command manually triggers a firmware update to the latest version.

If done successfully, you should see an attention box telling you the connection has been terminated while updating the firmware.

Wait a minute or so, then reconnect to the printer using the blue "Connect" button at the top left of the window.

We have setup a custom macro to take care of all the heavy lifting for your first calibration. On the "Machine Control" tab, you can click "First Probe" under "User-Defined Macros" to do your first calibration.

The first probe macro will do a 10 point calibration (single tapping), then do a large bed map (double tapping), then a final 10 point calibration (double tapping). It will take about 5 minutes to run all the way through. Don't worry, future calibrations go much faster.

Test your calibration by putting a sheet of paper on the bed and running: "G0 Z0" in the gcode console. Your nozzle should just touch and pinch the paper so it's hard to move. If it's too loose, run the following GCode: "G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z-0.1", then run "G32" to recalibrate, then "M500" To save all your current calibrations and settings.

If it's too tight, you want to try "G31 P100 X0 Y0 Z-0.3", then run "G32". If it's still too tight, make the number after Z a larger negative number. If it's still too loose, make it a smaller negative number.

After your initial calibration, you can calibrate by clicking the "Auto Delta Calibration" button, or by sending "G32" in the gcode console.

You can load filament by heating the hot end up to 220 degrees and manually feeding the filament in through the EZR and boden tube, or by using the "Filament Load" macro

To use the load filament macro, hold in the red button on the EZR extruder and press the filament in until it is just peeking out the side with the boden tube. Then click "Filament Load" under User-Defined Macros, and click OK.

Upload and print your first gcode file. You can do this two different ways. You can either click "Upload & Print" at the top of the page, or click on G-Code files at the side of the page, then "Upload G-Code File(s)", then select your file from the list.

A pre-sliced file for your first print should already be loaded on your SD card. This test print is called "firstprint.gcode"

We recommend using Cura for slicing. All v3.2 testing is performed with Cura and our slicing profiles for our printers will get you going fast! Click here to see our guide for installing Cura and downloading our profiles for your new printer.
