My gMax 1.5 XT Modifications.

Sharing my progress on my gMax 1.5 3D printer build. This started as just wanting to add a heated bed but I ended up just upgrading the jhead to a Pico hot end also. I made a simple clip on fan shroud for the supplied 40mm fan. I might redesign it to raise up a little more.



Another Picture of the hot end.



The Y-motor braket and the belt clamp I had to reprint out of ABS because the originals were PLA and warped. The Motor bracket I remade to sit closer to frame to make it less likely to bend under heat and tension.



Dedicated power supply just for the heated bed. This is a 850W power supply.



18in by 18in heated bed make in the USA. The connectors on the bottom are General Motors 4 pin front O2 sensor connectors. With a constant 12V supply it stays at 95-105 Celsius. 



Part of the Y-axis carriage that did not stand up to the heat



Original belt clamp that super warped.

The photos are from a private google photo album and need to be made public so we can see them... :

Even making them public does not make the link work. The URL changes over time so that's why when I first posted them I could see them for a few minutes. I transferred them to photobucket so it should work now.

I see lots of pictures now. That build looks awesome!

Project update. Custom cut piece of glass installed. Redesigned track system under heated bed. First print is a full sized license plate frame in ABS with no warping or separation of layers. Print is laid on my Rostock Max V2 just to show size.
