Ultimaker 2 Extended Aluminum Extrusion 3D Printer

thingiverse

Disclaimer: The "Ultimaker 2 Extended Aluminum Extrusion 3D Printer" is based on the "Ultimaker 2 Aluminum Extrusion 3D Printer" which is designed by Jason a software architect from Austin, Texas, also known as jasonatepaint in the Thingiverse community. Basically the extended version provides more space on the z axis (100mm more). Dimensions of the heated bed are the same as Ultimaker 2 but with the extended version you can build taller objects. The assembly is made in Solidworks 2014. I changed the dimensions of the vertical aluminum extrusions, rods and acrylic panels. Lead screw is 100mm bigger (400mm length). I have added three horizontal aluminum extrusion pieces to make the construction more sturdy (these may not be needed on the real construction-it’s on you to decide). Finally i used and modified the accrylic side panels that lions3, another member in Thingiverse, created.
