TronXY-X1 upgrade from 150^2 mm to 220^2 mm by Guusvanmarle

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is quite a big upgrade so only do it if you trust yourself (I'm still questioning myself why I'm doing the upgrade myself). This upgrade makes your tronxy-x1's build area 220x220 mm instead of 150x150 mm. you do need a laser cutter for it or you can print out the DXF files onto paper and stick those to a piece of wood/acrylic.
The parts you are going to need are the following:
500 mm of 2020 aluminium extrusion.
500 mm of 2040 aluminium extrusion.
The 2 DXF files laser cut/regular cut.
at least 2 m of GT2 belting.
a heated bed witch is 220x220 mm.
The aluminium extrusions I bought from Banggood (just because I'm cheap):

You do need to file down on of the brackets and screw (see picture).
Let me know if I'm missing something.
