Preface: I’m on my third cheap printer in the past ten years. I bought an Anycubic kobra neo a few years ago. I told myself I wouldn’t mess with doing anything to it, but I was running into issues because of low quality control. I put it away due to frustration for the past year and now needed to print something and just figuring out all the issues. Right now I’m looking into upgrading the part cooling fan as I cannot get rid of stringing even on low temps with PLA. I should just buy a good printer but I just don’t feel like I can justify it.
Okay, but changing the nozzle still is a normal modification that is required to do if you want to print abrasive filaments for example or thinner or bigger nozzle diameters. It’s very easy to change the nozzle because of that, manufacturers expect you to change it.
How about add-ons, not modifications? Do you count that as modifying if you add a raspberry pi or a camera, but you can still just remove them and have the printer just like it came ootb?
