Update for Voron 2.4 which can improve print quality and/or speed

[Dutchronnie]

Hello, first I wish a very happy 2025 for everyone.

I was asking myself what can i do to improve the print quality and/or speed of my voron 2.4.
This is the hardware setup i have now:

Voron 2.4 300x300 LDO Kit
Stealthburner CW2
Canbus BTT SB2209 CAN V1.0 (RP2040) + U2C V2.1
Umbilical together with filament tube to back plate.
Chaotic Lab TAP
Phaetus Dragon HF Hotend
Octopus V1.1 Motherboard
Raspberry Pi 4 with dedicated power supply
BTT SFS V2.0 (Filament sensor)
BTT TFT50 v2.1 Touch (Color touchscreen)

I am very happy with it, but it can be better, I also own an Bambulab X1 Carbon, but the voron is not as good and fast as the X1C, I think the Voron must get as least as good as the X1C. the difference between the two is not that big, but i want to try to get the voron better.

I was thinking to upgrade the voro with a Eddy Can or Cartographer, but i don't know if it will upgrade the print quality, maybe the print speed, because the toolhead becomes stiffer. (TAP will be removed)

I hope if somebody can point me in a direction for an upgrade, the upgrade must be a reasonable price, i don't want to invest a lot of money for a little improvement.
Somebody suggestions?

1. Switch to Galileo2 for extruder
2. Replace TAP with Eddy to reduce weight and increase stability
3. PIN mod for all pulleys

Can you link or tell me a bit about the PIN mod? What is that?

The pin mod is a pain, but the theory is that instead of the pulley spinning around the threads of a bolt (which isn't perfect), it's spinning around a steel pin that has much better tolerances. I ended up buying a box of 65mm long pins and cutting them myself

I have just installed a cartographer and removed the TAP, I hope this mod gives better resonances graphs. Not tested yet because i am still struggling with the bed-mesh.
Because i had to remove the TAP i thought this is the moment to also install the Beefy front idlers but i noticed that when i had them installed that the holes for the z-belts are very small, and that the belts are rubbing against the side of the holes. I removed them for now, maybe i take a look at it later and install them again in combination with new z-idlers
