***Updated: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3639724 *** I recently acquired a used G Max 1.0, but several aspects of it didn't meet my expectations, so I decided to make some modifications. This redesign replaces the bulk dual extruders with a dual bowden setup. The bolt holes for the v-slots are 40 mm apart. The top holes were created on a 6 mm spacer with 5 mm through holes for m5 bolts. The bottom holes have a diameter of 7 mm, allowing for an eccentric spacer. Mounting holes for accessories are 20x40mm spaced, providing ample space for various attachments. My primary goal is to print the Prusa i3 Mendel (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1737366) and attempt to get it operational. As this is my first design, I'm hoping it will prove effective for others. I plan to test this design soon using my Wanhao duplicator. Note: One remaining issue is attaching this piece to the x axis stepper motor. I may revise this piece and incorporate a belt attachment mechanism.
