-- I bought my first 3D printer from - Amazon - in 2018 for $300. It’s on the cheaper end but there’s a - large community behind it. -
-- Oct ‘21 Upgrading Parts# -
-First set up parts being upgraded with:
--
-
-
-
- Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend with Slotted Cooling - Block -
-
- - - - -
- - - -
- - - -
- I started to get filament jams in the middle of prints. - Since I started to take the printer apart I thought it - would be a good idea to get some upgrades in. -
-- I replaced the nozzle and hot end (except for the heat - block) with an all-metal version (the original had a - small teflon tube inside the heat break), replaced the - carriage plate underneath the bed with a thicker one - that better resists warping, replaced the cheap noisy - fans with Noctuas with custom shortened and crimped - wires, and added a thermal pad between the heat sink and - the cooling block (there was nothing there before, just - metal-on-metal contact). -
-For crimping the wires I used the following:
--
-
-
-
- IWISS IWS-3220M Micro Connector Pin Crimping Tool - 0.03-0.52mm² 32-20AWG Ratcheting Crimper -
-
- - - - -
-
-
- Wire Stripper Automatic 3 in 1 Multi-Function - Wire Pliers (22AWG-8AWG) -

- - Oct ‘21 Magnetic Build Plate# -
-- I’ve been using a - 220x220mm Borosilicate Glass Bed - placed on top of the BuildTak sheet that came with my - printer along with glue stick with some success. This - upgrade replaces all that with a magnetic steel sheet - which has a layer of PEI on it. -
-Items needed:
--
-
- - - -
-
-
- Isopropyl alcohol (I used 91%) to remove adhesive - residue -
-
- -
-
- Gloves (I used nitrile gloves) to prevent adhesive - from reconstituting on your fingers -
