A modder has significantly accelerated an older 3D printer by repurposing a jailbroken Nintendo Switch. By replacing the printer's stock firmware with Klipper and offloading processing to the Switch's quad-core processor, print times for a standard 3DBenchy model were reduced from 90 minutes to under 9 minutes. This modification also reportedly improves print quality by reducing artifacts like ringing and ghosting, pushing the printer to its physical speed limits. AI
