Ultimaker V2: Modified Z-axis Aluminum Plate for MK2B Heatbed

These are the .ipt & .dxf files of the aluminum plate that the UItimaker V2 uses for the Z-axis, with the additional holes added in to make it compatible with this kit here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anodized-Aluminum-Heated-Bed-Buld-Plate-for-3D-Printer-RepRap-Prusa-Makerbot-/321336349749?var=&hash=item4ad1239435) However, any MK2B heatbed should mount without any issues, as long as there is 209mm between each hole.

You might ask: what is the point of this? Isn't there an official Ultimaker kit?!? Good question. The biggest reason I'm doing this is cost. I could spend roughly ~$150 for the official aluminum plate and heat bed alone, or I could re-use my existing heat bed & buy a piece of aluminum stock for $10 and have it cut using my University's water jet. Since it both saves me money and lets me play with high-power equipment, it's a win-win!

It should also be noted that this has the holes for the original UM2 Heatbed as well. So if you ever do want to upgrade down the road to the official UM2 heatbed for the little bit of extra build area it gives you, it's easily doable.

Please ask any questions in the comments, and make sure you check out jasonatepaint's awesome Aluminum Extrusion UM2. I'm excited to finally be able to have an Ultimaker!
