180 to 270 degree servo conversion

While that would be a viable thing to do...if I can take the easy route (i.e. adding a resistor and cutting off the 180 degree stopper), then that is what I am going to do. I don't have a 3D printer, but my school does in stem class. I could print new gears, but adding a resistor and changing the code a little bit saves me a lot of hassle.
