I Decided to extend the Z axis on my Wanhao i3 printer as it was wanting to print some rather tall teardrop lampshades.
The whole process is very simple and only requires about $40 worth of parts, you will need:
* 1.5 meters of 60 x 3mm equal mill aluminium angle. This can be found pretty readily at window manufacturers and good hardware stores.
* Two T8 8mm screw length 500mm picth 2mm lead 8mm trapezoidal screw with 1pcs brass copper nut
