Upgrades I made so far for the Tevo Tarantula

in #diy7 years ago

Hello! I made some upgrades to my 3D printer the Tevo Tarantula.

Out of the box the printer is okay but not great. Therfore I thought I will show you my upgrades so far and the following ones that will come soner or later in new posts.

The most important upgrade: a cooling fan. I am using this one:

The cooling fan increases the quality of overhangs quite much.

Upgrade two: a better Bed  support:

The original acrylic one had to much play which is bad for print quality.

Upgrade three: two belt tensioners. One for the Y-axis and one for the X-axis:

My belts wasn't enough tensioned before I used them.

Upgrade four: Bed adjustment nut:

More a quality of life upgrade.

Upgrade five:  XY corner:

My printer is standing on an MDF plate. I use the XY corner to secure the printer to the plate.


If you have any question I would like to answer them.

When I have new upgrades I will post them so stay tuned.

Have a nice day!
