Ordered, received, and assembled a Rostock Max Ver 2.0
No issues in following the manual!
The manual could use a few hundred more pictures, especially of panels which must fit together.
Printed both of the starting .stl devices.
Added white LED holders to the cooling fan design, and tied them to the fan power.
I disable the fan by adding a very small slide switch to the side of the part cooling fan.
The white LEDs give a lot more light to the end of the nozzle.
I will go back and pull an extra +12VDC power wire up a column and tie that to the LEDs and then to the main power, so they shine all the time the unit is powered up.
Found a great design program which is easy to use called "Design Spark Mechanical".
So easy to use and it will save as .stl as well.
Check it out and it is FREE.

First modification to cooling fam
I added an LED to each side of the cooling fan part.
I added a small slide switch to the FAX to control when it is being used.
The FAN power controls the LED's until I can find time to run another wire up a leg to power the LED's separately.
