I know that many mods for some printers aim to enlarge the volume, but I’ve been considering downsizing somewhat my plus, as I have moved to a smaller house and the plus is a bit too large. An option would be to trade for a regular Ender 5, but I have had one, and the plus is better in many respects. Just the 4 guide/2 bed screws put it in a different league.

I really like the plus, I have modded it (hotend, direct drive, Klipper, board…), and have it pretty well dialed in, and I’m going to convert to “CoreX”, a cheaper hybrid alternative to CoreXY, that removes a lot of weight from the gantry, ergo, higher speed and accuracy.

I’m going to end up with a respectably fast and accurate single color printer, and I’m considering adding the INDX tool changer.

I have googled, but either my Google-fu fails me or it’s just too obscure of a subject.

Has anyone seen something like this?

    For the cost it would take to downsize you would be better off just buying a smaller printer. Maybe sell the plus to offset the cost? Or maybe build an enclosure/end table around the printer to hide it away when not in use
