Yeah. I don’t think I have the budget. I’ll just get mine up.and running with new extruders and a board. Then work up from there.

I think you misunderstand how crap he3d products are…sure a tightened frame may help, but if your going to rebuild a printer then do it right and do it once… sticking with a poor frame that needs retightening and resquaring once a week isnt really worth the time…as for sales…meh, i just reccomend parts that i have personally used and know do a great job, i dont make a cent from reccomending anything and Im sure there are others that can do the job, but im not in a place to reccomend them.
There are a few other great printable upgrades like wobble isolators bearing holders for the bottom of z rods one piece motor mount and top frame parts I will this evening compile a list of thingiverse links for you that I would recommend
Ok fair enough all prusa printers suffer from loosening up that’s were a little penetrating thread locker and a few extra nuts are for I am sure that any prusa I1/I2 style would be crap to you it is a 6 year old design how ever your printer the i3 was the evolution of this design and has a few flaws too I am sure as most machines do Glad you enjoy it
upgrades I would do
x carriage
frame braces
extruder with a mk7 gear
z rod clamp
z motor mounts
z screw isolator
or
and then find a fan mount kinda like this
these should all be pretty inexpensive and were most of what I did to my machine it made a big difference
with a e3d hotend you should be good to go for quite a while I would just get a heater pcb and
this would be my first choice
it looks nice a simple and would work with a e3d or any of the knock off’s
but if that fails
with out the fittings just run the tubing straight into the e3d
should work I know it prints I used it to attempt a 3mm bowden setup long ago
Thank You!
