A user asked me a question: "Have you ever considered redesigning the X-axis carriage?"

So, I decided to give it a try. According to this new design, I think the print area can be increased by about 20 millimeters.

When using this solution, you don't need to specifically print a brand-new X-axis slide carriage.

If you want to try to modify it yourself, I have uploaded the FreeCAD file for your reference.

I've recently created a new prototype that integrates the X-axis slide frame and the E3D mount into a single component. Although this print might be quite challenging, I've minimized the model's size as much as possible while ensuring that the structural strength remains unaffected.
