3D Printer Upgrades and Mods
Upgrade your Elegoo Neptune 3D printer, with a hotend shroud that uses two 24v 5015 fans, a bracket for a dial indicator, and silicon leveling mounts. The fans and bracket were designed using SolidWorks, and the bracket for the dial indicator is held in place by 8mm round neodymium magnets. The dial indicator is optional but recommended for super accurate bed leveling. The total print time is around 5 hours using approximately 85g of PLA or ABS 3D Printer Filament.

Elegoo Neptune 2 Fan Upgrade With Dual Fans
The stock cooling fan for the Elegoo Neptune 2 may be inadequate for high-temperature filaments, leading to the need for an upgrade. I designed a new fan shroud with SolidWorks, opting for a dual fan setup with high-quality bearings and JST Plug Connectors for easy servicing.
Anycubic Kossel Optical Endstops Upgrade
Upgrade your Anycubic Kossel Linear Plus 3D printer with optical endstops. The upgrade improves print quality and replace less reliable mechanical endstops. Optical endstops are noted for their accuracy, wide availability, and low cost.
