Hi,
I would very much like to print higher objects and was thinking about remaking the printers housing to, for instance, double height. I don’t think it’s very difficult with added perspex side panels and longer Z-stage rods. There isn’t any software barrier I think, or is there?
I was wondering if someone had some experience with this?

Thanks

Thanks Raby for warning. Your right, I’ll think I’ll keep it limited to a 45 cm trapezoidal threaded rod instead of the original 30 cm. I don’t expect problems with the 10 mm sliding rods. And if it turns out to be a disaster I can always go back to the original Vertex :slight_smile:
