i started with a stock ender 3 max - they have since come out with the neo version that already has many of the upgrades i had to do myself -
Creality Ender 3 Max Neo - https://amzn.to/3SqN5Ze
ill list all upgrades and links to where to buy as well as all STL files used in this build.
here it is new unbuilt and all together
Capricorn Bowden PTFE Tubing 1M -https://amzn.to/3U5Ce8m
that cutter is worth every cent!. when you use side cutters it compresses the tube and will cause issues!
added a camera for remote viewing of my prints . both over wifi and wile out in the world - at one point early on i used it as a timelapse camera as well
WYZE Cam v3 with Color Night Vision - https://amzn.to/4b4EWkD

Y-axis Belt Tensioner (4040 for max) https://amzn.to/3LZPlAm
Ender 3 Max dual Z axis upgrade https://amzn.to/48S1sMi - its my understanding the neo already comes with this as the normal max did not. this was one of the most needed and useful upgrades iv done. realy solved the x axis sag! this upgrade requires you to move your PSU UNIT but i planned on having it outside of my enclosure anywho.
PSU UNIT and LCD Screen relocation options.... i mashed my own design together based on 3 or 4 other designs that i found. i dont know if i ever saved this stl or not . so since i mounted the motherboard on the other side of my enclosure .. so with the help of longer and extention cables. we can move the lcd screen any place we like
Rainbow Wire Flat Ribbon Cable 10 Pins 66cm Length https://amzn.to/3wSWKvY and option #2 10 Pins 148cm Length https://amzn.to/3PNyqE9 || you also see the short lived "Creality 3D Pad 5 Inch HD Display Screen " . it ... well it wasn't great. i stopped using it as fast as i started .
Motherboard relocation this required a remix of another file to fit a 12volt computer fan. and then a buck converter to convert the voltage from 24 volts to 12 .

Extruder issues ! - it wasnt bad. but it wasnt great. and the mess that trying to print TPU made of this was not great. so upgrade.
in later weeks or months iv since started using the clear one here: Transparent Dual Drive Extruder - https://amzn.to/3pYGSsg

I then got around to getting the PSU off my desk and out of the way.
so remixed a mount.

Left Angle 18 AWG Power Cord - https://amzn.to/3lOJIub
GXS_Satsana (remixed) DD Dual 5015 Fan Shroud for ender 3 max - for some reason i figured it be simple to rework a design of my own fan shroud. clearly i borrowed most of the design elements . but its a simple design and it works. but i did clearly rework a lot of it. but it basicly came down to reusing the best mount for 5015 fans more or less.
