Bought a cheap Chinese Core-XY printer with a lot of shortcomings. With a number of upgrades, this is a much *much* better printer.
Ended up replacing the rollers for X-motion of the print head with solid printed-plastic bearing, with much better result.
Note the theme here is a minimal upgrade. Addressed only the worst flaws, and stopped when I had a decent printer. Did not need to replace the motor mounts. Did not need to replace the Y-motion frame and rollers. Kept the funky belt "pulle
