This text appears to be a post on an online forum or community related to 3D printing, specifically about upgrading and modifying a Malyan M150 3D printer. The author, Jeremy, shares his experience with upgrading the printer's extruder and hotend, as well as adding a bed probe and fan cables. Here are some key points from the text: * Upgrading the extruder and hotend requires an extra stepper cable to run from the remote extruder into the control box. * The old Molex connector for the hotend heater cartridge needs to be replaced, especially if it has melted due to overheating. * For Cocoon Create owners, it's essential to add heatshrink tubing over the thermistor connectors or replace them entirely, as they can be a nightmare to work with. * The extruder cable can't be removed from the tractor chain easily, so adding a new servo extension lead is recommended. * The bed probe holder is designed for larger probes (18mm diameter), but other types of probes like the Pinda probe may require adjustments or an adaptor. * The probe is located "up and to the right" at the home position to avoid X-axis limitations. * Fan cables can fit through the space between the upper bearing blocks, and reusing old stepper cables for the bed probe can be beneficial. The author also shares their experience with upgrading the printer's Z-height by 5cm using printed parts and nuts and bolts. They recommend this upgrade as it provides additional stability and flexibility to the printer. Finally, Jeremy expresses gratitude to other community members who have contributed to his understanding of the Malyan M150 printer, including Tessa, Angus, and Tom. He encourages others to share their own experiences and modifications with the printer, promoting a sense of community and collaboration within the 3D printing world.
