Bed-plate Extender brackets ?

[EagleSeven]

I printed 2 of the corners and they look great, starting the other 2 now.

Used PLA and added Rafts and supports, which I usually do not do,
since there are long overhangs on bottom sides and strength is more important than making bottom look-good.

Not sure if one corner will need to be sanded or not , but will be easy to do if needed.

Will not install them until I get the 8"x10" glass.

Update: I discovered that by changing printer type from Replicator-Dual to Replicator-2
the bed-platform width is Enlarged in Makerbot slicer software.
(and Replicator-2X size is between those 2)

So, maybe the 10" wide bed can really be Used !

Suppose I won't know for Sure until I Try it !

Another discovery :
I found that to take advantage of Replicator-2 setting it is best to re-position the corner pieces,
since it enlarges in X direction and not in Y direction.

So, now the size of glass needed is 11 1/8" X 6 7/8" !

2" gain in the X direction, which is Great.

Sure glad I checked all this before getting Glass cut !

In this picture you can see how corner brackets were re-positioned to make bed wider in X direction.
Compare it to picture from thingiverse, in previous post.
(this is with No glass sheet installed yet.)

Note: I now have new glass installed

Did a Test and it will print the Full 11" width, if needed !
So the Extenders Do work !

??? Curious what the 7532 means, that was added in previous post listing??
