The main things that I would like to upgrade on the Anet ET5X printer, if possible (if this one works) are:
2. Upgrade to a newer board like the Ender v2
3. Convert to Direct Drive
Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish these tasks, or what I parts I should look into?
Backstory: I just (re)ordered the anet et5x. I already had bought one, but it was defective, so I returned it. I thought about getting a different printer after this unfortunate experience, but I decided to give anet another chance. The problem last time I ordered this model; it was missing parts and the hot end was not heating up. I thought that I was saving a few bucks by ordering a used one, but it turned out to be a dud (I contacted Anet, but it was actually from the dealer "iprinter" who I became quite dissapointed with and based in China, and so I chose to return through Amazon and order one from the Anet USA distributor in TX. What I like about this model printer (my first one), is the large size, and price ($270). When I was setting up the defective printer, I watched Dr Vax's review and setting up the Anet ET4, and also loading Marlin on the board, which were both super helpful, and informative.
Thanks in advance, Corey
