This Tinkercad-made object can be edited online at https://tinkercad.com/things/fTVNxSo5Evi. By using the $20 GT2 upgrade parts from http://www.printrbot.com, I combined the X-axis extender mod and a GT2 modification to eliminate X-axis slippage during printing across the entire build plate. These upgrades may still be printable on a standard Printrbot Simple V2 with rotation and potential skipping of the skirt. Download all files, purchase the upgrade kit from printrbot.com/shop/gt2-kit/, print according to your build volume capacity, replace your existing build plate (sourced from A.C. Moore), and ensure that the +Y-most edge of the new build plate does not obstruct the GT2 pulley brim before drilling mounting holes. I opted for a 3 feet 5/16" metal rod from Home Depot, cut in half to extend the X-axis length, but the original rods should suffice.
