Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your message.  I just found your order on our system and it is a V1.0 WorkBee.

We don't offer size upgrade kits for the WorkBee CNC Machine. However, all the parts can be bought on our website.

To increase the size of your WorkBee on the X&Y Direction you will need the following parts:

* 3 x Lead Screws* - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product/acme-8mm-lead-screw/++
* 2 x 15x30mm Cable Carrier** - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product/cable-drag-chain-carrier/++
* 3 x Stepper Motor Wires*** - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product/original-workbee-replacement-nema23-stepper-motor-cables/++
* 3 x Limit Switch Wires**** - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product/original-workbee-replacement-limit-switches/++
* Extrusions***** - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product-category/parts/mechanical-parts/v-slot-extrusions/++
* 557mm, 807mm, 1057mm, and 1557mm are for 500mm, 750mm, 1000mm, 1500mm axis lengths. If you have a V1.0 WorkBee you will need to buy this screw conversion kit instead, which includes the Lead Screws - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/product/workbee-screw-conversion-kits/#x-axis-size++

* These would need to be combined with your existing drag chain to make the desired length.

* New YL, YR, and Z-Axis Stepper Motor Wires will be needed.

* New X, Y, and Z-Axis Limit Switches will be needed.

* See this PDF for the profiles and lengths you will need. -T means 'Both Ends Tapped' - ++https://ooznest.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/WorkBee-Extrusions-Upgrade-Size.pdf++
