I know that many mods for some printers aim to enlarge the volume, but I’ve been considering downsizing somewhat my plus, as I have moved to a smaller house and the plus is a bit too large. An option would be to trade for a regular Ender 5, but I have had one, and the plus is better in many respects. Just the 4 guide/2 bed screws put it in a different league.

I really like the plus, I have modded it (hotend, direct drive, Klipper, board…), and have it pretty well dialed in, and I’m going to convert to “CoreX”, a cheaper hybrid alternative to CoreXY, that removes a lot of weight from the gantry, ergo, higher speed and accuracy.

I’m going to end up with a respectably fast and accurate single color printer, and I’m considering adding the INDX tool changer.

I have googled, but either my Google-fu fails me or it’s just too obscure of a subject.

Has anyone seen something like this?

    I’m talking about an Ender 5 plus, not a pro. The build volume is 350x350x400. External dimensions are something like 650x650x700, not taking into account the bowden/cable arch on top. It’s an XL class printer.
