Linear Rail Upgrade

[Jarhead]

I've had the parts for quite some time now but just haven't done anything with them.
Seeing the Gmax 2 lit a fire under me and I started the upgrade!
Almost done sketching it and it looks like it'll be easy enough to do.
Still have some things to figure out, like attaching the belt to the Z carriage, a new BL Touch mount and cleaning up the X cable chain. All easy enough though.
Also thinking about putting the camera mount on the Z carriage itself. Not sure about the weight but 12mm rails will definitely carry it.
Might post more pics along the way but I'll definitely post a video when complete.

this would be great!! I have not touched my gMax in a long time and would love to make some updates to make it better. ever consider upgrading to the titan Aero hot end?

Never considered the Titan, doesn't seem like a real "upgrade" to me. The E3D v6 just works.
Should be an easy upgrade though.

I love to upgrade my gMax 1.5+ XT using the rail from V2. I bet it's smoother

Had try to contact gCreate for upgrade kit but no luck, this would be awesome. Let us know when it done. I love to upgrade mine to linear rail the first day I got the machine.
