Malyan M150 frame Z extension

This conversion is inspired by (although not based on) this model:  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3210757

Required:

4x M3x4 (reused from the frame)

8x M3x6 (reused from the frame)

32x M3x10 (four that are used for filament guide can be shorter by a few mm)

4x M3x20

24x M3 hex nut

4x M3 washer (optional)

2x aluminium profile 10x10x400mm

I printed with PETG, although PLA is probably fine. Recommended settings: 4 perimeters, 3 top/bottom layers. Designed to be printed without supports.

See images for assembly.

The aluminium profiles must be drilled with 3mm drill, see images for location of holes. First ‘frame stiffener inserts’ are fitted with hex nuts, then they are inserted into the aluminium profiles (aligning nuts with drilled holes).

Then screw ‘frame stiffener top’ on the one end of the aluminium profile and to the Z part of the printer frame. Then put the ‘frame stiffener bottom’ onto the profile and screw it to the Y part of the printer frame. Finally screw the ‘frame stiffener bottom’ using washers (if available).

If print head is converted for a different hotend: https://www.printables.com/model/499431-malyan-m150-print-head-conversion-for-creality-hot  the max Z height can be 190mm with 4mm extra.
