VertexEvo with Ultimaker glass
Description
This Mod Is Yet Another Step In Pushing Vertex Printer To Its Limits. It Increases Print Space Along Y-Axis To 218 Mm. <B>Note:</B> This Design Was Created For <A Href="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2427810">Vertexevo</A>. Ultimaker Printer'S Glass, That I Used, Does Not Fit Into The Original K8400. Brief Story Behind This Mod: My Original Glass Got Damaged When One Of The Prints Failed And I Discovered That The Only Place To Buy A Replacement Is On-Line Shop In Uk That Does Not Ship Overseas. So, I Started Looking Into Other Options And Ended Up Buying The Glass For Ultimaker Um2 That Is Over 10Mm Longer And Wider Than The Original. I Decided To Benefit From This Extra Space And Redesigned My Glass Holders Published Earlier. I Still Don'T Know The Exact Dimension Of Ultimaker'S Glass. The Piece I Bought On E-Bay Had Trapezoidal Shape - One Side Was 2Mm Wider Than The Opposite. Ultimaker Uses Metal Clips To Hold The Glass In Place And This Difference Would Not Matter, But When You Use Corner Limiters It Becomes A Major Issue. After About 2 Hours Of Sanding The Glass Edges I Made It Rectangular With Dimensions 256Mm X 227Mm X 4Mm. If You Decide To Implement This Mod - First Buy The Glass And Measure It. Then, If Needed, Modify The .Sat Files Attached To This Post To Make Sure The Glass Fits. If You Have My <A Href="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2618887">Camera Mod</A> Installed The Space Gain Will Be Less. It Also Depends On The Shape Of The Print-Head.

While It Is Perfectly Fine To Have Side Support Only From The Left Side, I Will Still Redesign Things To Make Sure They All Fit Together. <B>Update 8-Feb-2018:</B> New Y-Visor Solving Aforementioned Issue Is Published <A Href ="Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2787625">Here</A>.
