- adjust print settings for specified areas of object for tighter tolerances
- increase variance on some print parameters (temperature) to allow some areas to be printed faster than others.
- use lower quality materials in don't care areas of parts
- change control parameter to pressure instead of temperature for different extrusion materials in different parts of object
- include only high quality parts where precision is important, else use crap quality
- map print bed to account for non uniformity in print surface.
- add guards around some mechanical areas of printer to prevent entanglement, leave others exposed to allow open movement.
- change frame material from high quality wood to low quality trash as it isn't mechanically important
- multiple print heads that are automatically changeable for quality where its needed
- use multiple print heads of varying quality in parallel
- alert user when printing difficult sections so it can be closely monitored
- use feedback to alter print speed based on head resistance
- control environment quality around print head but leave print enclosure at ambient
- allow for localization of thermal control for print bed to conserve energy and allow for better release
- include high precision components for bed leveling, cut costs in other locations
- change infill for unimportant areas of print to cut material usage
- cool filament before it enters extruder
- bigger, sharper teeth on drive gear to allow more filament force
- self cleaning drive gear
- control environment filament is stored in when it is in use
- flash cool filament after it is extruded
- add sacrificial edge to aid in print removal
- use subtractive manufacturing where tight tolerances needed.
- auto switch filaments to use waste or recycled plastic for infill and new plastic for outer shells
- reversable print bed for multiple materials
