It’s quite simple, actually, and shouldn’t take longer than an hour with our easy-to-understand instructions.
Great! You’ll maximize the performance gains AND you can save money by purchasing both together in our Ultimate X-Carve Upgrade Kit.
The overall height is 21 1/4".
To get the most out of this upgrade, we highly recommend using the X-Controller Kit and the Wide Makerslide.. While the new stepper motors can be run on the original g-shield controller, you will not be getting the full benefit from the upgraded motors.
