MakerBot Mini Bed Plate Replacement

thingiverse

I combined SteveFury's two bed pieces into one then added the rest of the bed for a total replacement. You will need to sand the tabs that slide in to get a nice fit. There is a hole in the bed for the short 6mm metal rod, but you'll have to drill it out carefully to set the piece in at a similar height, otherwise you might need to adjust your Z offset. In case you want to find/make a new little metal rod, mine measured 6mm in length also. I didn't bother sanding the top layer smooth before putting tape on and testing it, but you might would want to before putting this into heavy use. If you own a MakerBot Mini, it might be a good idea to have a friend/school/library/maker space print you an extra bed just in case you drop the original on a hard floor and break it.
