Here is the first piece I need to print for the control box mod. The new base..



This piece is huge. It uses an insane amount of filament and takes an equal amount of time to print. Here is an estimate of that timetable..





Fast forward past a few days worth of printing and we have all the parts we need for the control box mod. albeit in multi colors..



From here we obviously need to break down the control box..



Here is a side by side of the two power supplies. The one that came with the black widow in my hand and the meanwell already mounted to the printed base..



And here is why this mod had to go down. for an extra 100watts. While the extruder and stepper motors are common to other printers, the heatbed is very large and that warrants the larger power supply..



And here is the first mock up of the new control box..
