Hello! I havent printed too much, but have done enough to start looking at upgrades for my Ender 3 V2 with the stock V2.2 board. Mainly I've figured out that I want to go with a direct drive extruder and a more convenient hot end but as 3D printing has progressed a bit since I originally got my 3D printer to now I am having mild trouble on figuring out what is outdated information vs current. For example, im looking at something like a Micro Swiss DD with NG Revo hot end for simpler nozzle swaps but im not sure if there is a better solution.

Currently I primarily print with PLA but I have some TPU I want to print with and I may want to dabble in more abrasive filaments and potentially in the future I may want to look into some sort of multi filament system similar to an AMS but that is much down the road.

Yea I saw that there were the ObsidianX or whatnot nozzles if I really wanted to go that route. I like the idea of going to a quick swap system.
