What 3D Printer Accessories Do You Wish You Had in Your Tool Cabinet?

rscasny

So you purchased a 3D printer for your project-builds, prototypes, and repair jobs. That's usually the big investment when it comes to these kind of design and build tasks. But what about accessories like filaments, printer cores, resin, maintenance kits, adhesion sheets, and more. What kinds of tools and accessories for your 3D printer do you wished you had but don't have in your tool cabinet? Tell us about it.

    A spare hot-end.

    I have spare nozzles (now), but I didn't originally. However I am realising that I likely need a new ptfe tube that leads up to it.

    Also 3D printers should come with an exhaustive list of what G-Code commands they support, eg. the Creality MR2020 does not, and yet it claims to have filament-out detection, it does not respond to the typical G-Code commands for handling this.

    I agree with a filament dryer and suitable storage for said filament - I still don't have one of these, and the go-to appears to still be, either store it suitably from the beginning or use an adapted food dehydrator.

    A key thing I'd love though, is an enclosure with an active carbon filter on its exhaust / fans. I picked up an enclosure, but it does not have this, and you can tell that there's something ill coming off the fumes of the filament.

    Extended support would be: automated fire extinguisher and remote monitoring.

    +1 on the ptfe bowden tube upgrade. Like the Capricorn high heat type.
