    For $79 its almost worth selling you original one and buy the extended one.
    How hard would it be to swap over your work to it?
    Being outside the square !!!

    I would have to re-cut the ball screw and re-machine what ever else to make it work.

    That is for a micro, not a mini I have been wanting a longer Y axis for a long time! I think i would have machined new ballscrews and stuff for mine if I could get that much travel!

    maybe someday Ill make a new one at work
