just looks like a cr10

have a bigger image (click on it, twice, to get full size)


there are lots of parts on aliexpress

not sure what gears your referring to...
its basically a vslot machine with rollers running on the vslots and belts in the slots.

In case you haven't heard of vslot

So its like tslot, but has a v groove to so its easy to use it as cheap linear rails

It is HIC printer, made from alu profiles.
But it will be more like build new printer from old one, because I will change almost all.
What is my major concerne is that movable parts have almost none tolerance, of shaking and vibrating.

Are you concerned with frame/bracket stiffness, or linear slide stiffness?

For Z-axis frame stiffness, supports are an easy solution:
Z-Braces

Re-designed brackets could easily be made stiffer as well.

Keep this printer to print parts.

Build up another printer to meet all your requirements / desires

Sounds like you want MAJOR update!

You can get all the parts on eBay or other outlets.

Gears? Do you mean leadscrews to drive X?
The CR-10 variant you show uses timing belts on X, Y
and lead screw on Z.
