# Top Upgrades for Your 3D Printer Warning: Upgrading is addictive. Only upgrade if you have a specific problem to solve. ## 1. PEI Spring Steel Sheet * **Benefit:** Perfect adhesion and parts pop off when cool. * **Verdict:** The single best upgrade for any printer that has a glass or sticker bed. ## 2. All-Metal Hotend * **Benefit:** Allows printing above 240°C (PETG, Nylon) without melting the internal PTFE tube. * **Verdict:** Essential for materials other than PLA. ## 3. Silent Mainboard * **Benefit:** Makes the motors nearly silent. * **Verdict:** If your printer sounds like R2-D2 screaming, get this. ## 4. Raspberry Pi (Klipper / OctoPrint) * **Benefit:** Wi-Fi printing, camera monitoring, and advanced speed features (Input Shaping). * **Verdict:** For advanced users who want total control.
