The Details are more or less outlined here:

basically you need a bigger power supply, a bed, and a heating pad.

easiest way would be 
https://store.makerbot.com/parts-accessories/x1-rep2x-heated-build-platform-assembly/

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PSU-POWER-SUPPLY-4-PIN-12V-24V-DC-KYCON-DIN-PLUG/222137736538?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

connect the kycon connector to the output of the mean well power supply, stick it under the printer, and add the heated build plate from MBI.

I might note that that amazon page is stupid.
You need a LRS-350-24 Power supply, the 24V 350W version.

You could get a more "factory replacement" brick supply like in the thingiverse page though.
