Open Top ToM

pinshape

I wanted to unleash my inner genius and literally ripped the top off my ToM. I'm certain that someone has accomplished this feat before me, but I couldn't find a single example on Thingiverse. There's a plan brewing in my mind... (whispers) I'm going to unlock the true potential of the X Carriage. I'll increase the belt length between the pulleys - approximately 160mm - and the Y carriage run will extend to the front of the machine, about 130mm. This setup should give me a spacious build platform measuring 150 x 120 x 120 without any major issues. To avoid overheating, I'll print using PLA, which won't require extensive heating space, but that's not likely to be a problem. I'm aware that users who display this mod in public will need to post warning signs about the exposed parts being hot, although they weren't enclosed before. For those of you who prefer not to disassemble your ToM, you can still use this carriage modification to achieve 150 x 80 x 120 prints.
