    The A8 is quite decent after getting rid of all the original parts and rebuilding it from scratch. I see.

    Good job! 👍 You learned a lot from the original design and from your improvements. That’s what the hobby of 3d printing is all about, if you ask me. I went through similar efforts with my Ender 2.

    I recently saw an A8 voron switchwire conversion, what I’m taking away from that and this is first A8 mod should be a metal frame.

      Oh wow a CoreXZ A8. Yeah the original frame is very flimsy indeed. I got noticable improvements in print quality at higher speeds.

    Now what happens if someone takes all the parts you replaced, and uses them to construct a 3D printer?

    Do they own the A8? Or do you?

      Yeah most of the wiring is. The bed wires are soldered on and I haven’t noticed them warming up at all.
