Here is the most important data and information about the RA Pro (Max). The difference between the two versions are the normal Rotary castors, which are included with the Max and are missing with the Pro. The Pro is therefore aimed at owners of a normal Rotary who do not need (and do not want to pay for) this function twice. Essential information can also be found in the extra article on rotary rollers.
Here are some shopping links: RA Pro Max (Sculpfun Store) or Geekbuying (Pro or Pro Max)

Setup + Settings
Setup is simple. Basically, the chuck only needs to be connected to the existing y-axis with the enclosed cable (the y-motor is thus shut down). Then all you have to do is make the correct settings in LightBurn or LaserGRBL. Here are all the steps as screenshots from the instructions. The instructions say that you should invert the y-axis in LightBurn. You can do this, or you can simply rotate the RA by 180 degrees, in which case you don’t have to change anything. The official installation video is here:
If you require any further assistance about general settings with Rotarys, you should definitely read this article: Rotary rollers and settings.
Tip: As described in the article above, you must switch to “current position” as the starting point. You should then also activate the two options from the screenshot so that only the selected graphic is sent and the origin of this selection (green box) is used. You don’t need to care about the workspace grid anymore in this case!

Modifications
Nico has already started to tinker with the first modifications, in this case to be able to screw the castor holder onto the baseplate:
