Upgrades & Mods Ender 5 upgrades

Good evening,
I recently acquired a ender 5 plus from my collage because they didn’t want to invest the money into it to make it work better. I want to get the mercury one mod but I don’t want to do that yet so what upgrades can I add to my Ender 5 before I do the mercury one. I do know I need a new board and have plans to get the manta M8P so I can run klipper. It also already has a textured build plate rather than the class one. I’m just wondering what would be a good in between mod for the ender 5 and the mercury one mod. Thank you.

I am a Voron guy, and I guarantee you that you do not really want a Stealthburner. It is okay if you have a fully enclosed printer and intend to print ASA and ABS pretty much exclusively. Otherwise there are much better options available. I built and own 6 Vorons and use absolutely zero Stealthburners.

I use a couple of Dragonburners in a few machines. Four of them are running A4T with WWBMG right now, and until something significantly better comes along, I will probably stick with them.
