Makerfarm Prusa 8" i3v UPGRADES?
Hey,
I'm still just finishing setting up my Makerfarm Prusa 8" i3v, but I'm already thinking of some future upgrades. Have any of you done (or considered) any of these?
- Extending Y Bed - Would require longer Y rails, a new bed base, a bigger heat bed (and therefore...), a heat bed relay, extension for the end stop cable, extension for the heat bed cable, longer timing belt.
- Extending X Carriage - Would require longer X rails, a new or modified Prusa frame (cut and extend top, back, and front bottom), a new bed base, a bigger (wider) heat bed (and therefore...), a heat bed relay.
- Extending Z Height - Would require longer Z rails, longer threaded Z motor rods, modification to top and top front of Prusa frame.
- Adding an Extruder - New X carriage assembly, new extruder, new wires, new stepper, new hot end (and associated items), POSSIBLY upgraded Z motors to handle additional weight.
- Enclousre - This topic is already well-covered in gMay3's post here: http://3dprintboard.com/forumdisplay...akerFarm-Forum (and a few others).
Any other upgrades folks are considering, other than swapping out hot ends?
