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
I’ve had good luck with a MKS 1.4 board and and E3D clone hotend on my all metal HE3D Delta 600. The only drawback to the clone hotend is you need to drill and chamfer the push connect fittings.
Hobby shops or digikey.com Maybe if you have a radio shack like shop Amazon probably as well
Hmm. Could your motors handle the extra wieght of the Titan extruder? I’m not sure mine could.
Cool. Do you think my x motor can handle the extra weight of a direct drive, or should I keep it a bowden?
I am sure it will be fine
With a good controller they will be fine But if you want to be sure post a pic of the label on the motor if there is one But they look bigger than the motors on my prusa really its not much more load as it’s a pretty low friction setup you might have to adjust your x jerk setting but I can help with that
Thank You!
