- Change nozzle geometry for tighter corners/ better edges
- make drive gear geometry asymmetric to allow faster speeds with the same motor. Align geometry with part to be printed.
- additional infill on edges, leave middle hollow
- add flats to shaft for drive gear
- mix filaments in print head for color combination
- mix filaments in print head for combination of material properties
- make printer asymmetric to allow better access to print bed
- Change firmware to allow tolerances for asymmetric construction, then vastly increase assembly tolerances
- Texture print bed for better adhesion
- change control rods to linear actuators to allow for additional motion control
- add cutout to nozzle to allow other materials to be injected into print stream
- shiftable transmission on drive belts
- make drive gear geometry asymmetric to allow the extruder motor's force to be better used. Align geometry with part to be printed.
- adjust symmetry of drive pulses to motor
- specifically shape print bed for object being printed (mass production?)
- bring nozzle to a point on one side, orient that side inward to allow better detail, shave off the additional plastic on the outside
- flip nozzle in previous point
- mount bed on cams, drive them until bed is a set distance from nozzle
- mount bed on cams, drive them until bed is level
- novel print head shape to increase range of movement
- overfill inside of part for increased strength (preloading part)
- different length control rods for printing on an angle
- flip print bed sideways and add rotational axis
- swap nozzle sizes during print to increase strength
- change firmware to not care about nozzle geometry, make nozzle from random trash
