thingiverse

This kit makes it possible to attach the NCS bed frame to a Maker Farm i3V 12" Purchase is recommended to buy four more wheels for increased stability. It's highly advisable to print all parts before swapping out beds. You might need additional screws, nuts and even longer ones in certain cases. Drilling is also required for the adapter. End caps can be used to replace wood caps on the original rail mounts which remain intact. Please leave a comment if you need any changes since I don't have a Makerfarm to try this out. To purchase steel NCS bed carriage, go to http://ncspecialties.com/computers/customcomputers/3dprinter/bedcarriage/. Cut your own bed by downloading the free NCS P3steel printer DXF file and then pulling the bed from it. Instructions Before you upgrade your printer, print the necessary parts for assembly. It's recommended to use PLA because of its characteristics. Make sure the motor mount cap fits on top of the print bed; otherwise, try diagonal placement - it might not fit if your bed is smaller. Use the adapter as a template and drill holes in the main frame where needed. You can also replace broken parts with end caps which work great for either bed. However, the screws holding wheel mounts need to be about 3mm shorter than original screws. To find the right screw length and size, try searching "Openbuilds" since they carry a variety of hardware options that will suit your needs.
