Improvements

The main improvement that we will make is adding automatic bed leveling.

  1. Note: correction needs to be made based on the top 2 posts here - on end stop plug in location and change in firmware. [2]. This Github note [3] appears to say the same thing. Further, the first link also states that the firmware is outdated - outside of hte xmax issue mentioned.
  2. Upgrade firmware, including auto bed level with inductive sensor - [4]
  3. Anti-backlash nut case and belt tensioner - [5]
  4. Improvements on Thingiverse - auto level, cable chain, endstop improvements, etc. - [6]
  5. X endstop replacement - [7]

Candidates For Improvement Resolution
