Hello everybody,

I'm used to use two 3d printers (i3 clone and kossel) that needs a lot of tweaks and upgrades from the beginning..
Can anyone list what the possible upgrades we can bring to the A5?
Even a wiki will be great!

So far here are the things I read:
  • Reduce (or even disable when cold) the hotend fan that is EXTREMLY annoying
    > As I understood, this needs some electronics and firmware changes, right?
    > Another option could be to add the possibility to switch off the power part of the PSU altogether
  • Changing to Trinamic drivers
    > Great videos from DaHai: 
  • Adding Octopi setup
    > Great video from DaHai: 
  • Adding bltouch (not sure if really needed)
And some little things I noticed:
  • Improve (or add a cable guide) to the X stepper motor cable
  • Improve the bowden tube position (maybe by hangging it towards the upper center of the arch
Thank you for contributing and pointing out what upgrades we can made to this printer.
