Rostock MAX v2 Assembly Guide
Set the hot end aside, with the nozzle pointing up. We're going to prep the thermistor for
installation next.
Take the short length of PTFE tubing from the thermistor package and cut it in half. Trim each
half so it's about 1-1/4” long. Remove the thermistor from the paper protector (aka The Post-It! Of
Shielding) and slide the a PTFE tube on to each of the thermistor leads as shown below.
Using a pair of needle nosed pliers, bend a 90 degree angle in the thermistor and PTFE tubing
as shown below. Take special care to not damage the thermistor head! It's made of glass and is very
delicate.
Take the nozzle off the Permatex Ultra Copper RTV tube and dip the end of the thermistor into
the RTV as shown below.
