href=\"http:\/\/amberspyglass.co.uk\/store\/new-open-end-plates-for-eshapeoko.html\">the new end plates<\/a> that allow the eShapeOko to be extended in the X direction. \u00a0As an important bonus, the machine is now open to the front and the rear, so you can machine long objects even on a small machine.<\/p>\n<p>This image shows how they are used. \u00a0You can now stretch the machine by lengthening the X MakerSlide, the X belt, and the two connecting members for the new plates. \u00a0The part number for the new end plate is EM-LXP. \u00a0As you can see, it&#8217;s not identical to Edward&#8217;s new end plate. \u00a0It has the two eShapeOko belt anchor slots, plus one for the belts-on-top configuration currently used on the X axis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy
