Z extender

thingiverse

This minimalistic Z extender is simple to print, assemble, and install on your Cupcake CNC without dismantling it. However, be cautious as it decreases the X and Y range. The extender allows for up to 220mm of Z height, while X and Y are limited to 65mm and 60mm respectively, though these sizes are for the whole length and may vary at different Z levels. The extender uses the full length of the Z rods and can be easily switched back to a standard Cupcake setup within minutes.

For instructions, refer to "z-ext.pdf," which includes details on printing plates, springs, bridges, and M6 rod/long screws. When assembling, replace the stock acrylic plate with this extender and reinstall the extruder. Finally, print a tall object like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7704 by Aubenc for testing.
