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