Alternative

• If you’re just looking for better Z movement then check out https://kevinakasam.com/belt-driven-ender-3/
• If you’re want a overall better printer https://github.com/yell3D/Ender3dent
• If you don’t know, sell/trash the Ender and buy a cheap Trident (preferred) or V2.4r2 300 kit on sale

(This price includes shipping and 19% Value Added Tax)

Sourcing

The build in itself is expensive and may not as easy as you think. The current recommendation is to go for the Siboor kit as sourcing panels is a huge pita and really expensive.

You can find more information on their GitHub site and its available on their Ali-express site:

Things i knew before

• DO NOT BUY AN ENDER JUST TO CONVERT IT
• expensive
• its still a bedslinger, tho its a nice one and capable for producing fine prints
• huge footprint
• huge chamber to heat
• enclosure build and removal sux
• lose of Z height, worse with enclosure
