    Wondering if I can find some guidance here on upgrading the Rails on my Gmax 1.5+ 3D printer.
    I basically want to upgrade the rails/guides on my current 3D printer to what the new version 2 has.
    I do know they come standard with HIWIN rails.

    My current printer is the GMax 1.5+
    And I want to upgrade to the Rail system used on the new Gmax 2

    Parts I want to upgrade are:
    1. Bed rails/Y Axis wheels to Rails
    2. XY Axis wheels to Rails
    3. Lead screw to something that uses thew newer spring backlash-nut system.

    I mean this should be simple enough as just swapping the parts. No?

    Did you build your Gmax 1.5+ yourself?
