A few months ago I purchased the standard shapeoko 3 with the zplus upgrade. I have enjoyed the machine so I decided to buy the xxl expansion pack. The fact eluded me that some parts are not compatible with the z-plus. I will have to rewire the drag chains to use the new proximity sensors. I also do not have the proper supports and brackets for the drag chains. Does anyone know if any other changes were made to the drag chain for the z-plus? Has anyone made their own brackets?
Please contact us at support@carbide3d.com about this and be specific that you have an SO3 with a Z-Plus axis, and the XXL expansion kit — we’ll work out with you how to get everything hooked up properly.
Quick update, I sketched up and printed some brackets in fusion 360 and ran some new wire for the sensors. Everything is together now and working well.
