It was cheap, I needed parts and will need even more in the future so I went for it. I've got it leveled pretty well and it handles a basic bridge test just fine. Currently printing out the Bullseye air duct and then the mount.

Outside of printing printer upgrades, what's some cool, fun, useful things to print? What have you printed that you got the most use or laughs from?

I need to sit down and learn freecad so I can start making custom stuff. That'll take time and practice. Until then, pre-generated stls for me.

Careful with the bullseye fan duct. I found that it was problematic.

In a stock E3Pro the hot end fan ducts out the bottom of the hot end housing and thereby acts like a supplemental part cooling fan. When I experimented with hot end fan ducts my hot end cooling was dramatically improved (only really an issue with higher temp materials) but my part cooling went to shit. I think the hot end fan ducts are only viable if you are also going to replace/upgrade the part cooling fan.

I think one of the first things I'll try, if I have part cooling issues, is taking a small file and put small reliefs in the far ends of each duct to allow a short and small path for a bit more air to flow down on the part.

Thanks for the tip on the bullseye. It seems easy enough to return to stock if I come across any issues. Really, it prints pretty well out of the box with pla but I'll be experimenting with abs a bit. It's all new to me so all the info is much welcome. Thank you.
