Repairing structural defects of hobby grade 3D printer

Abstract

This article is about the hobby-grade 3D printers, that uses FDM printing method. Within this, we analyze the deficiencies and structural defects, which can be easily corrected by a hobby user. We demonstrate these important defects through the upgrading of a Creality Ender-5 type 3D printer. Our goal was to achieve much higher printing speed, with the same or better printing quality than the original printer.
