Large Piper 2 Upgrade: https://youtu.be/ugT5Qs-Ho4Y [Update: added X carriage for new version 2.2 belt tension "gantry-X_carriage-Extruder_Holder.12mmRods.v2.2.stl" and gantry-X_carriage-10mmbelt-tensioner.stl] [Update: added Nema 23 mount for XY] [Update: check v3 versions for gantry corner parts, changes are for motor side previous do not hold pipes; idler side was missing nut slots] [Update: Found that some idlers for 10mm belt may be 14mm tall, please check new versions tagged "v1.1"] [Update: Found problems with motor and idlers mounts. Fixed now as v2 files and 3mm bore and 5mm bore idleres] By default, Piper 2 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3022836) is designed to use 8mm guiding rods. Guiding rods will become unstable under belt tension if bed size exceeds 300mm. This upgrade enables the use of 12 mm rods and 10 mm GT2 belt. It should allow expansion of Piper 2 to a bed size beyond 300mm, for example, 500x500mm. Some dimensions have changed, so the bed size will be 123 mm shorter than Y rod and 113 mm shorter than X rod.
