Please read the instructions before downloading files!
All the Rostock printers made me want to print some taller files - here’s your chance.
Just for a bit of history on MakerBot Z-axis print heights:
Cupcake CNC: 100mm
Thing-O-Matic: 120mm
Replicator: 150mm
Replicator 2: 155mm
And to check in on some competitors:
Printrbot Plus: 203mm
Ultimaker: 220mm
Series 1: 230mm
With the swapping of just 6 pieces*, a Replicator 1 can be made into the (Unofficial) Replicator XL - with a Z-axis build area of 250mm. The only pieces needed are 4 new wood panels and 2 smooth rods.
How much bigger is it? The Replicator 1 build volume is 300 cubic inches. The Replicator 2 is 410 cubic inches. (Unofficial) Replicator XL? 500 cubic inches (err...498 I think).
I also figured if I was in there editing files, I might as well make it look a little more like the Replicator 2, so all of the ‘window’ shapes have been changed to reflect the ‘new look.’
Enough talk, let’s get to the photos!

The smooth rods I used are: http://www.mcmaster.com/#6459K112 (8mm x 400mm)
Big thanks to Bruce Wattendorf (of Giant Ultimaker fame) for helping with my meager DXF editing skills. Thanks also to Dan and Jetty for helping after I spent hours messing with broken firmware.
