Makerbot Replicator 2/2X Ramps Conversion + Heated Bed + E3D

thingiverse

Hi, a friend have gathered a used Replicator 2, with lot of things to fix, so I have decided to convert it to Ramps 1.4 + Arduino to a basic question of cost, because MB spare parts are too expensive for my budget, and I also prefer Open Source systems. Last but not least I was wondering to maximize the print area and add a heated bed to prevent PET like materials from warping. Then I found this very good topic right here (See "Remixed from") it has been a good starting point for me, thanks to this one I just can see that it has already been done, so let's go ! I decided to do it by myself. This topic is dedicated to information's or modifications I had to assume to make it live. So here it is ;) WIP - I'll update this post until the job is completed. __/!\ Disclaimer /!\__ __I share this experience just to help anybody interested, you'll choose to do modifications at your own risk, this will absolutely void any warranty and so on. __
