Hello! I havent printed too much, but have done enough to start looking at upgrades for my Ender 3 V2 with the stock V2.2 board. Mainly I’ve figured out that I want to go with a direct drive extruder and a more convenient hot end but as 3D printing has progressed a bit since I originally got my 3D printer to now I am having mild trouble on figuring out what is outdated information vs current. For example, im looking at something like a Micro Swiss DD with NG Revo hot end for simpler nozzle swaps but im not sure if there is a better solution.

Currently I primarily print with PLA but I have some TPU I want to print with and I may want to dabble in more abrasive filaments and potentially in the future I may want to look into some sort of multi filament system similar to an AMS but that is much down the road.

    I have the microswiss NG/DD setup on my ender, works considerably better than stock. It is expensive though. Note that the nozzle that comes with it isn’t hardened (at least mine wasnt), so if you’re going to do filled / abrasive filaments you’ll definitely want to change that out. Also note that once you change to DD your steps will need to be recalibrate, but the microswiss website walks you through all of it

      Yea I saw that there were the ObsidianX or whatnot nozzles if I really wanted to go that route. I like the idea of going to a quick swap system.
