An upgrade wiki that starts from the printer you own
3D Printeray maps 3D printers model by model: what each machine can do as it ships, where its nozzle, bed and chamber limits sit and why, and every route past those limits, with the dependencies, costs and warranty terms that come with each.
What it covers
Bambu Lab and Voron printers first, with more models added over time, for owners who want to print engineering materials such as nylon, polycarbonate and fiber-filled filaments. Topics run across hotends and nozzles, enclosures and chamber heating, beds and build plates, firmware temperature limits, Klipper, cloud-free control and multi-color systems.
How the pages fit together
Each section opens with an overview that sets out the limits and the options, followed by guides, comparisons and how-tos that each answer one question in depth. Model pages state stock limits as the manufacturer publishes them, explainers show what sets each limit, install guides walk through a change step by step, and warranty pages say what the manufacturer allows.
What it will not publish
Rankings, awards or “best upgrade” verdicts. Where a page compares products, it lists them in a table sorted by a neutral column, such as temperature rating or price, with the dependencies and trade-offs stated, and leaves the choice to you.
Rumors. A product enters a table when its maker publishes specifications for it.
How pages stay current
Every figure cites the manufacturer page, spec sheet, firmware documentation or third-party test it came from, listed under Sources with the date it was accessed. Every page shows when it was published, when it was last updated and when its facts were last checked against those sources. Printers get firmware updates and manufacturers revise their terms, so pages are rechecked and the dates move with them.
If a figure disagrees with the source it cites, or a source has changed since the page was checked, the page is corrected in place and its updated date changes.
Modifying a printer
Raising temperature limits, adding a chamber heater or rewiring a printer can damage it, create a fire or electrical hazard, or end the warranty. The guides set out those risks where they apply; the decision and the risk stay with you.
