Speaking of MakerBot upgrades…

An automated build platform so cool, it makes me want to misspell the word fierce

Chooch has been hard at work on another printable automated build platform.  What I like about this version over his prior, is that it incorporates a few design changes that give it a lower profile to preserve Z axis printing space, slightly more width by switching the nozzle brush to the other size, and, of course it is printable.  Oh, did I forget it mention it has teeth too? 1

This is a great addition to the long list of printable upgrades MakerBot owners can use to improve their ‘bots.

Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but Chooch, where’s my Pfierce Z-axis extender kit???

  1. I kinda wish we could figure out a way to actually use those teeth in normal operation. []

    Unfortunately, my next revision will almost take out all the z-axis saving I put into the design…I overlooked something very important which i didn’t have on hand… the motor!

    LOL… Yes I have fallen so behind with the Pfierce Z-axis upgrade! I can release the side extenders…the front and back extenders i’m not to happy with i’ve gone through more than 10 designs.
