New arms for v2
I've been looking for new arms for my rostock mas v2 and kept hearing about magnetic arms. After a quick google search I found this website that sold magnetic arms for the rostock max. http://www.tricklaser.com/Carbon-Fiber- ... M-CFTX.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Has anyone bought the arms from here and if they are high quality? If not where do you guys get our magnetic arms for the v2?

Re: New arms for v2
From what the reviews on the forums say, you can't go wrong with any of the Tricklaser products. The owner of that site lives near SeeMeCNC and is about as close (relationship-wise) to the company as a 3rd party can get, as far as I can tell. Don't upgrade your parts for just any reason, though. I get really nice prints with mostly stock parts, an E3D v6 hotend, and some home-made modifications.ericpudding wrote:are they worth getting or should i look for different ones? also they dont have much description on how to install or what specific parts im buying
Re: New arms for v2
I installed the Trick Laser arms on day 1 (never even fit the stock arms to the machine) and I have never had any problems with my machine/prints as a result. I have since purchased and installed other Trick Laser products and have been nothing but satisfied. You can build your own arms (there are several tutorials floating around) and save a few bucks, but these are definitely worth the money.

Re: New arms for v2
How did you install the arms? I couldn't find a guide on the website on installing the arms. I'm also a little worried because the pictures they have look a little different than what it looks like on my v20110-m-p wrote:I installed the Trick Laser arms on day 1 (never even fit the stock arms to the machine) and I have never had any problems with my machine/prints as a result.

I installed a set on White MAX on Wednesday. They come with a little doc sheet that shows how they mount. The only complaint I have is that they used a flat nut on the ends instead of another nylon lock nut.

Good point Gene, I can start including lock nuts for all of them.geneb wrote:I installed a set on White MAX on Wednesday. They come with a little doc sheet that shows how they mount. The only complaint I have is that they used a flat nut on the ends instead of another nylon lock nut.

But I will still include (6) of those thin flat nuts, because that is needed if your machine has the original 2 piece effector platform.

The only thing that worries me is that over time those nuts will loosen up - that's why I wanted the nylon lock nuts.bvandiepenbos wrote:Good point Gene, I can start including lock nuts for all of them.geneb wrote:I installed a set on White MAX on Wednesday.

I may order another set for Orange Menace soon. I'm still wringing out the set I got for White MAX.

Re: New arms for v2
I noticed theres a bit of springiness in the ball ends, It sorta acts like a lock nut in the principle that it takes out the slop that lets the vibrations loosen the nut. I got mine pretty snug without causing any binding in the ball ends. Ive done a lot of prints with small features where the hotend has to move very quickly back and forth 1mm or less and they haven't loosened.
