So after seeing the Tantillus and going crazy over how cool it is, I was wondering how to expand it if I were to build it. First thanks to flemming for giving me a lasercut version of the BOM I am using - done in google spreadsheet
[docs.google.com]
What would I need to change (including printed parts) to expand the build volume, preferably up to 200mm x 200mm if not more.
Thanks,
Lucas

It should just be the rods that are longer. But as I mentioned in the last thread about a larger version you may not want to make it deeper than 100mm. Wider and Taller are fine but deeper would be hard for the cantilever bed.

Thanks, which rods would I change? Is there a limit to how big I can go?

Have a read through JimJimma's variant thread. He expanded Tantillus and we discussed all the pros and cons of doing so in that thread (just a few down from this thread on the first page of the Tantillus forum)
