Any most have upgrades for a mostly stock Ender 3 running on a 8-bit board with an original bed? Changed out bed springs and tube already.

Octoprint if you can get an Rpi Stock is improving and it's a great addon It's also nice to be able to send prints right from the slicer

The best upgrade I made. No more moving SD cards back and forth. Adding a camera and octo everywhere takes it to another level too. I also bought a little USB light from ikea and plugged it into the raspberry pi, very useful when printing in a dark room.

Is it only the v2 that has an USB port? I can send prints to it via cura and an USB cable without octoprint

Just to note, you don't need a Pi to run Octoprint. I used Octoprint Deploy to run it on a LePotato and it runs like a charm.

That's a good option I've seen quite a few using the LePotato for Octoprint and Klipper I'm just glad I got a few Rpi before they dried up
