Hi! I have an old CR10-s, I don’t have money to buy a new, and more performant printer, so I just used and spare OrangePi PC that I had to use klipper, and I love it! It was so satisfying. Now I want to change the fan inside the awful control box but then? I read about stepper dumper are useful? I want to install a BLtouch, TL smoother and a ADXL345 for input shaping. but do you think it’s worth? I also tried to find info about new and more silent stepper driver, but for what I understood I can’t install them on my stock board, is that correct? I should move to a Bigtreetech?

All of this will cost me like maybe 60$ + maybe sth if I want to put a noctua on the extruder and a magnetic plate…

To sum up: does this planned updates worth? do I need to move to a new board for the stepper driver? it’s better to throw away the printer? (I’m joking). I want to achieve a more reliable print, lower noise and a little more speed.

(see the anycubic viper is so damn fast)

Thank you a lot in advance

    Only changes I’ve made

    Proceeds to list at least half of the essential parts of their 3D printer.

      I would consider them essential upgrades rather than essential parts, since they are competely optional and aren’t required to make the printer functional!

      There are endless amounts of upgrades for printers this is barely touching the surface!
