you buy some maker-slide that is 1000x1000 and install them. you will also need longer belting on all three axis. I would get the wide maker-slide for the X-Axis listed here > **[Wide MakerSlide](https://www.inventables.com/products/wide-makerslide)** > > The Wide MakerSlide improves the rigidity and reliability of the x-axis on any X-Carve purchased before September 2016. you will need two of these for the Y axis [https://www.inventables.com/technologies/makerslide](https://www.inventables.com/technologies/makerslide) and also get extra belting (as in 4 meters) so if one breaks in the future you have plenty of extra [https://www.inventables.com/technologies/gt2-belting-open-ended](https://www.inventables.com/technologies/gt2-belting-open-ended) you will also need to extend your bottom extrusions to match 1000mm and make a new waste board.

don’t forget new longer wiring. Invest in a good tap if the makerslide or 20x20 isn’t tapped. ---
