Boosted print speed 5x over stock performance by modifying a Creality Ender 3 V2 with upgraded hotend, extruder, and mainboard. Integrated Raspberry Pi running Klipper firmware for remote monitoring and zero downtime.

Overview

This project involved a complete overhaul of a standard Creality Ender 3 V2 to achieve professional-grade performance. Upgrades included: - Direct drive extruder conversion for better flexible filament handling. - All-metal hotend for high-temperature printing. - Silent mainboard with TMC2209 drivers. - Raspberry Pi 4 running Klipper firmware for pressure advance and input shaping. The result was a 500% increase in reliable print speeds while maintaining higher quality than stock settings.
