This printer is extremely difficult to handle when using PLA, resulting in filament breakage that's become a major nuisance. The filament often breaks by accident, making it unbearable to touch. Furthermore, I've had the misfortune of ramming my fingers into the fans several times. Fortunately, the basic design of the printer is not the problem; instead, I created modified parts to address the issues. To fix the filamentGuide1, I attached two 14mm spacers, which prevents the filament from breaking just above the extruder. Without these spacers, repairs are extremely tedious. The filamentGuide2 also plays a crucial role in preventing the filament from backing up onto the reel. I secured it with two small double clips, ensuring that the filament is properly aligned. Without this guide, it's impossible to determine where to pull out the filament, resulting in tangles and breakage. As for the fanCover1, its purpose is self-explanatory. Meanwhile, the fanCover2 is held in place by double-sided tape, positioned near the power switch.
