  1. Use rods that have ball bearings already attached
  2. Faster electric motors
  3. Stronger magnets
  4. Magnetic travel systems versus belt drive
  5. Aluminum or titanium frame
  6. Add enclosure glass to allow for welding spark cover
  7. Multiple heads, be able to weld and print plastic in one code
  8. Mounting bracket on base for computer
  9. Tubing used for wire routing
  10. Boots to hold in grease on the ball joints
  11. Adjustable height mechanism, allowing for taller prints
  12. Interchangeable base and top plate allowing larger diameter printing
  13. Smaller diameter nozzle allowing greater accuracy
  14. Needle bearing insert for filament reel
  15. Bracket that holds filament reel tight preventing sliding of the reel
  16. Sliding bracket and guide to hold bowden tube at a desired spot
  17. Quick connects allowing for quick replacement of frame parts
  18. Quick offset adjustment connected to all limit switches
  19. Lever detecting bed leveling system
  20. Glue stick clamp allowing a program to apply the perfect amount each time
  21. Solid connecting rods
  22. Replace ball joints with u-joints
  23. Lexan print bed
  24. Wireless adapter
  25. Automatic bearing greaser, activated when printer is homed
