Replicator 2 ===> Replicator 2X Conversion
Description
As We Know, Makerbot Has Been Stingy With Information About Their Machines, Even More Stingy About Releasing Parts, And The Stingiest About Money. After I Saw Their New Lineup Of Machines I Almost Gagged In Disgust. So This Project Will Be About How I Am Converting/Futureproofing My Replicator 2. This Is, Of Course, A Work In Progress; And Will Be Until The Day My Printer Dies, So Bear With Me. My Cost On This Project As Of 1/28/2014 Is: ~$410.00. This Excludes The Hbp And Upgraded Power Supply Since I Already Owned Them. The Hbp Can Be Purchased From Mbi For $179 And The Power Supplies Can Be Found For As Low As $90. You'Ll Notice The Cost Is Almost The Same As The Difference In Price From A Rep2 And A Rep2X. However, When This Project Is "Done" I Should Have A Machine That Is Much Better Than A Rep2X. See The Instructions Section For Steps I Have Taken So Far. Please Feel Free To Comment And Offer Kind Advice If You Happen To Have Any.
