For people that are buying the Ender Extender, you may or may not find that your printer is front heavy when the bed is fully to the front of the printer.

I had the issue and luckily noticed it in time that it didn't tip off the shelf and then onto the floor !!

I got around this by putting a Ziptie on the back extrusion and securing it to the shelf, it will be moving out to the shed very soon so I needed a better solution.

For the Ender V2 Mark supplies a front foot as it needs it. So I went round making mine for the Ender V1 so when it goes into its new location I don't need to worry about it tipping forward !

Probably the easiest thing I have printed but by far the most convenient when it is in its new location!

I have done 2 versions a solid one and one that has some cut outs so that you can save a little filament, at 50% infill the difference in the 2 is about 10 grams

To secure it to the bottom just need some M3 bolts and T nuts, I used only 2 but there is up to 4 holes if you want them.

This is designed for a 4040 profile however it would work on a 2040 profile too. It would just mean it site offset to the rail one side or the other.

You could always print only half of it if you want just the 2 bolts on there.
