i3 MINI - CCMM Y-axis bed extension mod

thingiverse

My own original design for a bed extension mod tailored specifically for the I3 mini and CC Model Maker machines from scratch. Key features include: -A streamlined design that is simpler to print -Increased clearance below the bed to prevent interference with pulleys -Uses the standard linear rods to join the front and rear sections, keeping them level, unlike other designs that only rely on one point of support and often sag. -The usable Y-axis span becomes 215mm when set up correctly. This mod requires longer linear rods (320mm) and a longer drive belt, as well as firmware updates to take full advantage of the expanded bed area. It may also necessitate adjustments to the Z-axis limit switch. I am confident that both parts can be printed on the standard bed without any supports or brims if printed diagonally with no skirts.
