I enjoy tinkering and doing hands-on projects, so I’ve been looking more into upgrade options recently. While browsing around, I came across a Prusa MINI+ Dual Z-axis upgrade kit on Printables, with a full parts list and an assembly video. It caught my attention mostly because I’ve been enjoying DIY projects lately.

    While cantilever printers can be an annoying honestly converting your Mini to direct drive will improve print quality more than dual Z motors.

    That said have fun it’s your machine.

      Totally fair point 👍Direct drive was actually the first thing I looked into, especially for TPU and cleaner extrusion. The dual Z idea is more about experimenting with stability on taller parts than expecting a night-and-day upgrade. For me it’s more of a “learn-by-doing” project than chasing the single best mod.
