I see one thing that will definitely fail if I don't do anything about it. The heated bed wires are unsupported, and will definitely break some time, so I'm going to add a bracket that lets me secure them with a clip.

I love that idea, could you please keep us up to date on when you do it? I have been attempting to perform some improvements on mine.

Also, those cable chains are silly on a small machine like this. I will probably rearrange the wires into braided sleeves and support them in both ends in a large loop.

As I recall, it originally didn't have those, but they were added later due to consumer feedback and issues they encountered, there is actually a version 2 that fixes most of the common issues, though there are still some that exist which need to be addressed (such as the wires for the heating element, see my post above)

pretty sure all gluesticks are the same :-)

Everyone seems to suggest the purple gluestick from Elmer's particularly...

The part turned out fine. I also printed the 30 mm adapter since I don't have a blower yet. They are installed and working n printing a phone holder for my velomobile now.

Still kinda undecided on which cooler to go with.

I had actually printed out several coolers and tested how well they worked with the stock fan, and from my testing version 1.6 of TiDiPi's cooler seems to circulate air the best:

However, then a new pronged non-circular design came up by Delukart:

I was told that this pronged-shape makes more sense than a circular one since it just needs to send air sideways across the recently printed part, not in a circle everywhere, and it's internal structure provides far better airflow. Downside is the stock fan doesn't work with it and you need to get a blower-type fan.

Before I could even get around to printing it however, this new circular version by Pawpawpaw85 appeared:

Now I am at a loss at which one to go with. I can't even print the Delukart version yet because it's too big for my current printer so I will need to finish working on my DI3 first before I can print it, and even if I did, not sure which design would be more efficient out of those three.
