Step 10 — USB Connection (Advanced)
The Rostock Max v3 is equipped with a USB connection and cable. This is intended to be used as
a connection for updating firmware and manually control the machine when diagnosing issues is

Printing via the provided SD card is considered to be a significantly more stable than printing via
the USB connection. We highly encourage the use of printing via the SD card.

Step 11 — Loading Filament
The spool of filament should be installed on the printer so the filament is coming off of the top side
and down to the extruder as shown.

The extruder on a 3D printer, is the device that feeds the filament to the hot end. On the RMAX
v3, the extruder is called the EZR Struder. It is the component on the side of the top assembly
that has a clear cover, black base and red release lever.

Press the red release trigger and push filament down through the filament path on the side of the
EZR Struder until you see it in the clear PTFE tube (connected to the EZR Struder)

This clear tube is often referred to as a BOWDEN TUBE. The material of the tube is PTFE

Either rotate the blue knob on the EZR Struder or press the red release lever and feed filament to
the hot end until you see the filament just above the top (as shown in picture 3)
