I saw the old posts about the Aluminum Heat Dissipator Plates for sale but that was last year, is there anywhere that I can purchase one? My Rostock Max will be here this comming week and I would really like one but dont know anyone with equipment that could make one for me. Please help if you have any ideas! Thank you! :D

You probably don't need one. I haven't used the one I bought since I tore down my Indiegogo 'MAX to create Orange Menace. (2nd. Edition manual)

While they are not really "required" or a "must" They do provide some nice stability for temps and I personally prefer running one myself. I am considering running off a batch of them in the near future (as soon as a new spindle gets here for my CNC that is) if there is enough interest in them of course.

I would be interested, from what I've read they provide a nice even temp across the build surface and prevent stress on the glass build surface. How much do you think you would offer them for?

It's too early for me to guess to be honest. Are the new Rmax machines shipping with an improved Oynx design? Anyone know? Something similar to the Orions improved trace layout?

If so, then the alu-plate may not be at all a improvement for you and simply slow your heat times.

Yeah that's true, I just ordered my kit Friday so it will have the newest improvements, maybe that's why Geneb is saying I will not have to worry about a heat dissipator.
