I think I will stick to my stock CR-10S and Ender 3's motion systems at this stage. Still and interesting mod for a 'cheap' printer.
To F'ing Hot in the shack (42C and still climbing) today so I am doing some CAD in the cooler house where it is a 'pleasant 31C

Couple of spring loaded mods for my cheap Track Saw. It is the Ozito/Bunnings one and sold in the UK and likely elsewhere by Lidl. The blade cover could have been done with Tape but I did it for the exercise. The other holds the saw down to the track on the non blade side which becomes a factor on Mitre cuts where the saw centre of mass is beyond the track and the saw is free to fall off.

The cut out for this one looks for all the world like this sort of insert or kickback protector was in mind but to save a $ not fitted. Two countersunk screwholes from under the bed will be needed and brass threaded inserts in the 3D part to hold it in place.
The dust cover is a maximum thickness of 4.5mm (spring diameter from a pen salvage) so it clears the blade and also still allows the saw to run on the blade cover if needed (door trimming among other uses). It runs a 10 degree dovetail to hold the latch section in place and will use a threaded insert to hold the blade into the joint with the spring for retention.
Also trying out the local render on Fusion 360 which is something you should not do unless you have a good PC it still takes around 2 minutes to more depending on the project. I need to learn how to play with the environmental settings to get some better results. The online render for Fusion works fairly well and generally takes 10-20 minutes to come back to you from the ether.
Two of my Printers are actually working in the heat without me
