Changes in Hardware on Core One, between Batches. Fixes and so on.
Hello,
I got the core one assembled from Batch 4 a while ago and I would like to know if and what important hardware changes were made.
I would like to know since I dont want to miss out on any potential hardware fixes regarding the VFA issues I have.
Is there maybe a place where such things are tracked?
Best Regards

I don't think there have been any changes so far. You could follow the assembly manual change log to see if anything significant shows up. And check the printable parts on printables to see if they updated any parts, most have revision numbers on them, although the factory parts use different numbers.

The only differences I know of:
- between some early pictures and maybe demo models, the cable chain got replaced with the swing-arm + velcro.
- I think the feet got changed from bigger ones, to these little rubber 90° blocks
The rest should be identical for all batches. At least for the kits though, the screw in the heatbed cable cover changed from a silver cylinder-head hex screw to a flatter, black Torx screw.

I got two long rubber strips on mine that were the "feet" for the printer. I printed four feet from a Printables build, with TPU pads with resolved some printing issues for me. I really hope they've fixed that issue.

My recently arrived kits had those L-shaped blocks, whereas my previous pre-assembled printer had straight feet. The L-shaped blocks are horrible. Don't stick at all. I'm going to use standard felt feet from Home Depot as I did with my pre-assembled unit.

I did this... (along with reprinting all of the orange parts in Prusament PETG Ultramarine Blue):

Made a huge difference... that and the 13mm thick by 46cm^2 steel plate I put under the printer!
