The lead screws and Z motors have been moved forward to better elevate the print bed, rather than having a fully cantilevered setup. 2. The printable Z height has been increased to 330mm (~13"). 3. Cost savings are achieved by using 20mm rails for the bottom sections instead of more expensive alternatives. 4. Several adjustments have been made to enhance the structural integrity and reduce unnecessary plastic usage in various parts. 5. Accessory upgrades, including a simplified spool holder and cable chain for bed wiring. 6. The endstop mounting points have been relocated to maximize Y travel while adhering to default homing schemes. 7. A notable reduction in cost compared to the original bill of materials has been achieved through alternative material choices.
