Prusa i3 MK3 Custom Upgrade: Legend Reborn (Part 1)

[@imst4722]

Definetly don't recommend tining wires in screw terminals. The og ender 3 had massive issues with the solder drifting over time and loosening the connection. It caused a few house fires from what I remember

You are absolutely correct, they should be using ferrules

A very timely video. I'm seeing several MK3's on Facebook market place selling for very little money - might be time for a project!!!!!!!

[@3DJake_Official]

Ferrels and proper crimper are an awesome add to any DIYer. Larry

[@3DJake_Official]

Should we add these to the shop? We already got a bunch of tools recently, seems like a good addition.

Dude… do the Bear upgrade 🙏

I have done a lot of research into upgrading my Prusa mk3s. The Prusa upgrade path is expensive, I might as well get a new printer and it will have better specs. My bang for buck upgrades would be a Pi and Klipper and new X Y motors. From my research 0.9 moons motors look like a good option and can run on original motherboard with some fans to cool the stepper drivers. My real quandary is that I will probably end up spending a lot on upgrading and I should just get a new printer.
