The file 'Printrbot Simple X Upgrade. 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 4.0MB.

Summary

Increase your X travel to GT2 belt drive and 165mm print area while keeping the stock print plate. Larger area is capable with a custom plate.

Requirements:

  • Well calibrated printer.
  • Ability to print 98 mm x 98 mm (use "Orientated" files), or print 125 mm length (use standard files). I installed my Y-Axis No-Sag upgrade first, then printed parts for this one (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:242185).
  • 8mm linear rods 87 mm longer than the hole center distance on your print bed. For the stock bed, that would be 254 mm long rods, which gives you 165 mm print area.

2014-03-10: Updated Rod ends to increase thickness next to bed mounting bolts.

2014-03-19, RevB: Updated Rod Ends to increase thickness next to belt slot. Updated RodEnd-Mirror to move belt anchor away from Simple 2014 fan. The stock fan should clear nicely now.

2014-05-13: Added a couple files to allow for any length rod to be used. By installing "RodEnd-Mirror-Mid.stl" at the edge of your bed, and "RodEnd-Mirror-Overhang.stl" at the end of your rods, the rods can extend well past the edge of the print platform. Pass the belt thru the Mid part and anchor on the Overhang portion. This way the belt tension will pull on the ends of the rods and not bind the bed leveling screws.
