Most of the upgrades on the printer have ironically related to the extruder head of the printer.
Ordering
After searching through the internet trying to find a good price on a printer, we finally settled on the 3D printer was purchased for just under $180 at http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/252554605495?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
