Mk3S+ Put on Proper Work Bench - Improvement
Even though I didn't do anything to the printer per say this may be one of the most useful "hacks" I've done. I literally had my i3 Mk2S on a computer table, and my new i3 Mk3S+ on a front patio glass end table. I always had to scoot up to it on a chair and be bent over. Reaching tools and accessories was difficult.
Decided to revamp my hobby room with the inclusion of a proper work bench that is height adjustable. Now I can work in an ergonomic, standing position which is better lit, more stable, and way more comfortable. If you don't think this improves things, you'd be wrong.
I ordered an upgrade kit to the i3 Mk2S to 2.5S but I'm darn near hesitant to upgrade. Because I've been playing with the new Mk3S+ and have hurled myself back into 3D printing education I have learned a lot of stuff which I have since applied back towards the Mk2S and I dare say I have that printer fine tuned and printing better than ever.
Anyway, working off a proper bench is as much a "hack" as adding a tool box or vibration feet or whatever. I'm enjoying this a lot more now that I can see and work comfortably.

Another one I can recommend is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NAVFEW/
I have two of them. They're not height-adjustable but excellent build quality and versatile.
I also have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-UltraGraphite-Workbench-Organizer/dp/B074WL437T/
It houses two LACK v2 enclosures side-by-side.

I have 2 of these on order which will show up in a couple weeks. I'm converting my old guest room into a hobby room. The other two tables will get a Roland GX-24 vinyl sign machine and my Prusa Mini+ that I have on order and a Mac mini to control all this stuff.
