As i'm also a beginner in 3D-Printing i started to print some additional parts for my printer to learn and get some practice and i want to share my experiences.
The most parts are "easy" to print but bring some mostly optical improvements.
But for the start it's ok.
And there is no changing of extruder, drivers etc, the printer itself will stay "untouched".
I printed all of them (among some others which i declined later) and still using them.
If anything will come in addition i will edit this post....
And yes, there are some simple parts you have to buy, which one can be seen in each individual part page.
