    I recently saw an A8 voron switchwire conversion, what I’m taking away from that and this is first A8 mod should be a metal frame.

      Posting for posterity: YES.

      The stock acrylic frame with eventually start bending in on itself from the tension of the belts, causing unpredictable belt sag / slippage / ruined prints…and it’s the A8 so probably a fire somehow. 😂

      The EMT pipe frame is crazy sturdy though.

      Oh wow a CoreXZ A8. Yeah the original frame is very flimsy indeed. I got noticable improvements in print quality at higher speeds.
