VertexEvo with Ultimaker glass

thingiverse

This mod pushes the Vertex printer to its limits, increasing print space along the Y-axis to a maximum of 218 mm. The design was specifically created for the VertexEvo and is an upgrade over the original K8400. This mod will not fit into the Ultimaker UM2 glass due to its smaller size. The story behind this mod began when my original glass got damaged during a print failure, forcing me to search for a replacement. Unfortunately, I found that the only place to buy a replacement was an online shop in the UK that does not ship overseas. As a result, I purchased an Ultimaker UM2 glass, which is over 10mm longer and wider than the original. I decided to benefit from this extra space by redesigning my earlier published glass holders. However, I do not know the exact dimensions of the Ultimaker's glass. The piece I bought had a trapezoidal shape with one side being 2mm wider than the opposite. This would not be an issue if I was using metal clips to hold the glass in place, but it became a major problem when I used corner limiters. After sanding the glass edges for about two hours, I made them rectangular with dimensions of 256mm x 227mm x 4mm. If you decide to implement this mod, be sure to buy the glass and measure it first. Then, if needed, modify the .SAT files attached to this post to ensure a proper fit. If you have my Camera mod installed, the space gain will be less and also depends on the shape of your print head.

While it's perfectly fine to have a side support only from the left, I will still redesign things to ensure they all fit together. Update 8-Feb-2018: A new Y-visor has been published that solves the aforementioned issue and can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2787625
