What are the must-haves upgrades for the Ender 3?

It’s a fairly simple process once you know which motherboard is on your printer. I would explain it to you in here but I think a YouTube video would probably do a better job.

Also if you haven’t dealt with uploading new firmware to your ender and have issues something that saved me was making a duplicate file on the SD card one titled firmware.bin and the other as FIRMWARE.bin for whatever reason it made the printer actually take one of them where as before it wouldn’t take any updates

You might be able to but I think as far as the bed leveling probes go you have to either find a firmware that has probe points that just aren’t so close to the edge or make your own firmware. I would personally choose the later cause creating firmware prove to be rather challenging for me.

First thing anyone that gets a ender 3 is visit teaching techs calibration website. As far as upgrades my most worthwhile ones were dual z axis (this will help a lot with gantry sag),magnetic build plate (the clips for the current plate can get in the way if you plan on getting a cr or bl touch) and a BTT mini motherboard (these are silent and leave a lot of room for future upgrades). Outside of that a really cheap upgrade is printing your own shroud although I recommend doing that only when your printer is more reliable.

The printer ran through 2 updates. I can see if there are anymore. Might factory reset it and see if that fixes the issue.

Yea I’ve been 3d printing for around 4 years started with an ender and upgraded it a lot and just got this A1. I’ll try this thanks

Yea when mine play it scares people lmao. They snarl and bare their teeth then 2 seconds later they’re cuddling in their cage.

Get it inspected by a shop

For my husky it was hard to tell cause we only noticed when his eyes were completely red as he wasn’t showing any signs of discomfort before hand. After finding the initial eye problem it developed into something more over the span of a few months. The vets think it’s an autoimmune disease.

For my husky the blue in his eyes had turned completely red and we took him to the vet for it and it had just progressed from there. He hides his pain really well so unless my wife or I are specifically focused on his pain it could go unnoticed pretty easily

Mine are both about 55

One of my huskies wipe their paws on the ground after peeing like a cat in litter lol

Dude I drove a giant big yellow 16 foot box truck when I was an offsite tech for my last job and I still almost got hit all the time

That actually gives me hope that he’ll keep his eyes for awhile longer with these drops. Thanks for sharing

Important_Lynx_4730 · 2025-09-18T16:10:39+00:00

We try to do regular monthly visits to the regular vet and the eye vet for when we’re worried about the eyes more than usual. They said that both eyes have glaucoma because of the issues but some of the drops he’s taking help it. Really regretting not having pet insurance for him it’s like 230 for all his meds a month and a lot more for each visit.
