Beginners Upgrade Guide AnyCubic Mega-S

thingiverse

As i'm also a beginner in 3D-Printing i started to print some additional parts for my printer to learn and get some practice and i want to share my experiences. The most parts are "easy" to print but bring some mostly optical improvements. But for the start it's ok. And there is no changing of extruder, drivers etc, the printer itself will stay "untouched". I printed all of them (among some others which i declined later) and still using them. If anything will come in addition i will edit this post.... And yes, there are some simple parts you have to buy, which one can be seen in each individual part page. **1) Optical improvements** + Making the front panel a bit more beautiful with a simple (!) frame https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758459 + Hide front pulley https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2837666 + Hide rear pulley https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4257026 + Hide rear Y-Axis Stop Switch https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4259051 **2) Simple functional improvements** + Z axis Vibration prevention https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4298397 + Voltage Switch Cover (To avoid switching from 220V to 110V which will blow your printer.....) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2538654 + Hot bed holder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3573378 + LED Strip Holder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4597889 + Switch and Connector Box https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4686873 **3) Hot End improvements** + Cable Guide (to avoid that the cable get stuck when printing higher parts) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3703089 + Cable Cover (not only optical nicer but protects the cable and plugs, too) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886955 + Hotend LED Cover Fan Duct Half-Circle https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3736680 **4) Filament Box ** (of course Ikea Samla 22L Box ....what else....) + Spool Holder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4591211 + Filament Feeder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3142267 + Thermo & Hygrometer Frame https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2058198 + Ikea Samla Clip (forget the original ones,trust me....) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2110134 + Silica Gel Box https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3444820 **5) Printer Housing** + Ikea Lack Housing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3156297 respectively my own make: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4726423 + Door Handles and door home found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2864118 + Anti Vibration Feet https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3407639 + Filament Guide https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4688173 + Minimalistic Holder for Temperatur and Humidity Display (also included here, as you have to have at least one stl file or similar to publish....) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4688706 **6) OctoPi ** + "Moving Camera" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4681087 + Raspberry Pi Housing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4691991
