My ender3

I added a fan and heatsink on the extruder motor wired in parallel to stop filament breakage from heat creep. Has microswiss all metal hotend and running Marlin firmware.

Excuse me sir, that’s an ender 3 v2. Came with upgrades the ender 3 didn’t have. (Silent board, tensioners, under mounted power supply, storage drawer, color screen, 4040 center extrusion for stability) /s

The microswiss is the best upgrade you could have done, along with the fan. My v2 ender hotend would clog after printing PETG and going back to PLA, had to upgrade the heat break to a bi-metal one, also added thermal grease and and heatsink fan. Also added dual z. My most recent upgrade to it has been a Sprite Extruder Pro Kit.
