6 – Installing the Towers & Tower Wiring
Running Wire in the Towers
For this task, you'll need the following components:
3 Aluminum Towers
26ga wire, Red & Black
Note that the end stop wires can be found in the same bag that contained the thermistor leads.
The 26ga red & black wires are supplied as one continuous length. The wire is meant to be
used to provide power for the PEEK and layer fans on the effector platform. Before you can run those
wires in the tower, you'll need to cut the red & black wires in half so you have two red & black pair of
equal length.
In the Rostock MAX v2, you'll be routing the hot end, extruder stepper and end stop wiring
through the center of the three towers. If you're upgrading a Rostock MAX v1 and using the original
towers, please make sure to gently file off any sharp edges on either end of each tower.
In order to do this, you're going to have to strip the outer jacket from both four conductor
cables. This is very easy to do, but there IS a bit of a trick to it. :)
