I ordered a new Creality Ender 5 S1, as a dedicated printer, but I am not replacing the CR-10S I bought 4-years ago. However, in 4 years I have never upgraded anything on this printer, and so I am posing the question here, what are some upgrades I can do to improve print quality of this unit?
Right now I am looking at a Bowden tube replacement as well as a metal extruder upgrade. My printer bed still sags in the middle after leveling, which I have been compensating for with multiple sprayed layers of hair spray...
Complete CURA settings for your PETG prints might also help, as I am sure I have made enough changes over the years, that could be my cause for 'stringing' etc.
For my rocketry build needs, I am considering going away from the slower .4mm nozzle, and using a quicker .8mm nozzle, thoughts?
Any help to preserve thios ol printer would be much appreciated!
