I scored an Ender 3 Pro for $99 at Microcenter.
I love my Prusa Mini. It's a workhorse, and I use it often enough that I am leery of modding it in any way. What's the point in having a 3D printer if you don't get to mod it. So when Microcenter published a $99 Ender 3 Pro sale for new accounts only, suddenly my wife had her own Microcenter account and I had a new toy.
Multiple mods later and my biggest irritation is the power supply location. I upgraded to dual Z steppers and the power supply now hangs off the back. I reviewed several different power supply relocation options and I dislike aspects of all of them. I wanted to put the power supply underneath, but to do so in a way that I felt was acceptable, my Ender needed a lift kit. I love the esthetic of the Prusa Mini Base, but I also didn't want to hack this together from modified STL files.
I dusted off my Fusion 360 skills and went to work. 11 versions later, damn I'm rusty, I have what you see here.
2 legs, print them both twice to cover all 4 corners for an 80 mm lift to the Ender 3 pro. More lift if you add rubber feet.
The stock screen mount will not work, but one of the legs could be modified to do so. I run Klipper so the stock screen is unnecessary (Although I have a Galaxy s10e sitting here patiently waiting on me to find the time to root and setup Klipper to free up my Pi4)
I also ordered some 30mm half hemisphere feet to go on the bottom. Straight PLA on my desk allows it to slide around way to easily.
