prusaprinters

Hi! If you came here to find some useful mods for your ender 3 you've come to the right place.Here is my personal list of the best upgrades for this printer.Necessary upgrades: 1.First of them is silent 32 bit mainboard i used creality 4.2.7 and it is ok but better choice would be skr mini e3 v3. Why? It Is very simple. this board is very silent due to tmc drivers, has bootloader so flashing firmware is super easy, and bl touch connectionhttps://www.amazon.pl/Motherboard-sterownikiem-BootLoader-kompatybilna-drukarkami/dp/B07V7S4NK7/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=3OHKY05PD7AOM&keywords=creality+4.2.7&qid=1649796937&sprefix=creality+4.2+%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-2. Bl touch if you are tired with often bed leveling bl touch would be your best friend. it maps the buildplate and compensates the curvature.https://www.amazon.pl/GIANTARM-Geeetech-Touch-Sensor-drukarki/dp/B08HMRWNWX/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=27OJN2VITTK4H&keywords=bltouch&qid=1649797194&sprefix=bl+touch%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-53. Part cooling fan upgrade. It increases the print quality very much especially if you are printing with pla. There are many very good fan ducts such as petsfang or manta but i decided to use this dual fan duct and it works extremeley great, but you will need to buy 2 5015 blower fans.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4062242/remixeshttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45182984. Silent fans. Stock printer was very noisy and irritating so i decided to replace stoch fans with silent fans. The best choice would be noctua but they are super expensive. I decided to use product of Silentium Pc. Zephyr is very quiet, a little bit louder than the noctua but all fans used by me cost less than 1 noctua fan, so i dont care about this one extra decibel.5.Ultrabase. it is my favourite printing surface so i used in in UberEnder. It' s flat and has special porous structure so when it cools print just pops out.https://www.amazon.pl/Creality-ulepszona-drukująca-klipsami-platforma/dp/B0836PMMZ5/ref=sr_1_10?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1BNBOKLKQ1SME&keywords=ender+3+bed&qid=1649798104&sprefix=ender+3+bed%2C6. Bed Insulation. bed temperature is more stable and it heats up fasterhttps://www.amazon.pl/ZDNT-podgrzewana-samoprzylepna-izolacyjna-termicznych/dp/B09L171YBZ/ref=pd_sbs_sccl_4/262-0742331-7565662?pd_rd_w=OIwxL&pf_rd_p=40eabe56-ca0f-475f-9c81-d93bc504e9b8&pf_rd_r=Q61DZZ70TR3DD62TQ0GN&pd_rd_r=e9a35d7a-f5db-4a3a-bc80-a9721b7cd269&pd_rd_wg=bHZxc&pd_rd_i=B09L171YBZ&psc=17. Direct drive. it allows me to use less retraction and print tpu. it is also more precise. i highly reccomend using deared extruders such as orbiter or bmg because they allow you to use lighter stepper motor.https://www.banggood.com/Trianglelab-or-Dforce-DDB-Extruder-V2_0-Bowden-Extruder-Cloned-Btech-Dual-Drive-Extruder-For-3d-printer-Ender3-CR10-TEVO-MK8-p-1845603.html?cur_warehouse=CZ&rmmds=searchhttps://www.banggood.com/SIMAX3D-Phase-42-23-RepRap-42mm-Stepper-Motor-For-Ender-3-3D-Printer-p-1777182.html?cur_warehouse=CN&rmmds=searchhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:48249768. Capricornus tube, v6 nozzle and heatblock. i used it beacuse capricorn is the best quality ptfe tube in the market, it is very precisely made and resistant for high temperature, i used v6 nozzle and heatblock beacause of longer heat zone and higher volumetric flow ( i can print faster) and more nozzle options are available ( diamond nozzles etc.)https://www.amazon.pl/Creality-Capricorn-teflonowy-filamentu-pneumatyczne/dp/B082Y8SF81/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1E1YMCOVZTMY2&keywords=capricorn+tube&qid=1649798850&sprefix=capricorn+tube%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1https://www.amazon.pl/3Wthings-miedziano-mosiądz-Heatblock-silikonową-skarpetką/dp/B086YZTDCS/ref=sr_1_42?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=11G8I31CYU9S9&keywords=e3d+v6&qid=1649798874&sprefix=e3d+v6%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-42https://www.amazon.pl/BROZZZL-RepRap-mosiądz-średnica-drukarki/dp/B0812H4JGM/ref=sr_1_54?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=11G8I31CYU9S9&keywords=e3d+v6&qid=1649798898&sprefix=e3d+v6%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-549. dual z axis. i highly reccomend it to you if you are using direct drive because x axis falls on one side and it can cause some trouble. with second z axis layers are layed very constantly and bed leveling works much better https://www.amazon.pl/SIBOOR-Aktualizacja-olowiowej-drukarki-akcesoria/dp/B08SQQCLKY/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_pl_PL=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=APYC4TN9HAN&keywords=ender+3+dual+z&qid=1649799148&sprefix=ender+3+d%2Caps%2C1181&sr=8-510. Belt tensioners. i missed them in this printer very much but i found this project and it works fantastichttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3155712https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:466930811. Raspberry pi with mainsail/octoprint/fluidd and klipper. it is quite expensive but totally worth every spent money. Firstly you have remote acces to your machine so you dont need a sd card. With Proper plugin in octoprint or vpn on mainsail you can monitor your printing whereever you are with webcam. And finally klipper. It is absolutely amazing if you want to print fast without sacraficing the print quality klipper is for you. It runs on the raspberry pi and sends commands to the printer (smart person tells idiot what to do). Klipper has three major advantages over marlin. Pressure advance ( controls pressure in the nozzle so corners of your prints are always sharp) .  Marlin has linear advance but you need tms 2209 to use this, in klipper it doest matter.Ease of editing firmware. In marlin you need to find what you need uncomand it and compile and flash the firmware, in klipper you simply copy and paste few lines from the documentation and save it.Input shaping. The best feature of the klipper. it compensate the vibrations of the printer so you can print with accelerations as high as 5000mm/s^2 and speed over 100mm/s without ghosting. installation isnt very easy but it is not rocket science you can do it.other reccomended upgrades (mostly estethical)cable chains https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060Bed handlehttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2957507voron style grillshttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5147676Risers/ feets compatible with the grills are in the project files because it is my design
