is there any way to modify this for a bigger bed?

Yes! Printrbot sells the "Printrbot Simple XL Upgrade with Spool Rack for Maker's Kit 1405" right now that increases your build volume to 185mm x 100mm x140mm. This wasn't available when I wanted to upgrade our printer. I was able to extend just the X axis (table side to side) without much effort or cost. I found a piece of T6511 aluminum on eBay that was 4.5"x14", a 36" length of 8mm smooth linear rod also on eBay, and a long length of GT2 belt direct from Printrbot. We used all the same table pieces from the original kit. Total cost was under $50 and we increased our print area from 100x100x100mm to 260x100x100mm. We did need to print out wider support "legs" as the printer would tip over sideways when the table moved too far one way or the other! You can also increase the Y axis with a little more effort by printing parts for the "1405 300mm No Sag, Printrbot Simple" on thingiverse. While I haven't build this one, I feel I've pushed the amount of actual table weight the frame of the Printrbot Simple can take. If I were to extend the Y axis and need deeper table, I would not go all the way out to 300mm. To increase the Z axis, you need two longer linear rods and a longer Z axis threaded rod. If you want to go up much more than standard, you will need to extend the cables feeding the upper portion of the printer. The Printrbot kit adds external support to these linear rods.

No. The side rails hook into the. headboard and footboard. You could change it up a bit by attaching it to a feed frame, but you wouldn't have the side rails.

If you are handy you could make sliding drawers. If you want you could make leg extensions and raise it a few inches.

The height of the bed frame is fixed; your default options are to put the wheels on or not. In order to get some extra height, you could try risers? (e.g., a really cheap & easy method would be to cut some 2x4 to put under the frame (with the wheels removed). Each one will give you 1.5" of extra height.)

I do not think so. I have not actually tried but the way it was assembled does not suggest it can. Additional, usually if it is its mentioned as one of the features. This bed did not have that as a feature.

I suggest you ask Undercover. They are very responsive. Mine works well but there are other similar products out there so shop around. Mine sticks up a little higher off the bed rails than I care for.

yes that is what I did to solve my problem, I did not have enoughspace to use a headboard, what I did was wedge the pillow pushing it down, but don't expect it to look like a headboard.

I don't think so. I believe it was designed for a bed configured like the one in the photo.

No, not without modifications. It's really a platform bed meant for a springless mattress.

Not that I know of. The nightstand is a bit on the low side. I bought it for my Queen set and it looked too small next to the bed frame. Keep that in mind.

No way. However, having said that, I originally was going to use a full size mattress and ended up using a queen. I put 4" extenders up at the headboard and moved all the brackets out by 2 inches. I then bought a metal frame to sit the bed on and now it has been converted to fit a queen. It was a lot of work and trial and error. I wish I knew a head of time that I needed a queen, it would have been way easier.

Well its really big, i have a queen and no way you can unless you have a big closet!! So, i will say no! Sorry

i personally think you can and if you're handy you can modify it by placing a large board on top of the bottom shelf.that should do the trick

I don't believe that would work, Lori. Because of the way the ends curve, even if it were possible, I don't think it would look right. It is a beautiful bed. I love mine.

I don't have an oversized mattress so I don't really know how much bigger yours is from mine. There isn't much room to play with in the width. So if your bed is much wider than mine it probably wouldn't work. If it's longer you would need to pull the comforter down and fill the gap at the top of the bed with the pillows and it would work fine. I hope it works for you, I love mine. Happy shopping!

Unfortunately there's little you can do about that, I made mine fit more snugly so my cat couldn't move it by folding tape and making it thick enough to wedge into that space. But short of tapping it into place or doing what I suggested, I'm not sure you can really do anything about it.

Hi Megan - No, it can't. We bought it for our camper so we won't be using it as much as on a regular bed but it can't be flipped.
