Monoprice Mini Delta V1 - Tier 1 Upgrade List (plus bonus upgrades) - arguably mandatory

Monoprice Mini Delta V1 - Tier 1 Upgrade List.
Go straight to the links in the description if you trust me and don't need to hear the explanations. Other than the bonuses, these are upgrades that I would consider to be mandatory for the vast majority of MPMD owners.
What about the Monoprice Mini Delta V2? This video was made for the V1. The V1 and V2 are not exactly the same. Some of these items may or may not be applicable to the V2. Even if the V2 could benefit from one of these upgrades, there is no guarantee that the V1 version of the part will fit the V2.
These upgrades are focused more-so on preventative maintenance than actually doing anything to improve print quality or bed leveling. I am continually making new videos to cover those upgrades, which I would consider to be Tier 2 and beyond.

1. Power Button or Power Strip - the sparks that occur from plugging/unplugging the barrel plug can damage the connector on the mainboard. Unplug from the wall, instead.

Just go to the store and buy the cheapest power strip you can find. Smart plugs are also cool - even cooler if you can find a good Octoprint plugin to go with it.
2. A Very Specific SD Card
3:07
Don't wait for the (possibly counterfeit) stock card to fail. Not all cards work with this printer. I trust the person who runs the wiki. I do not trust eBay/AliExpress due to the high frequency of counterfeit/damaged SD cards.

3. Bowden Coupler/Connector Clips - to extend the life of the Bowden Tube

4. Riser Feet - because there is not enough ground clearance for adequate electronics cooling (i.e., the air that the fan blows has to come from somewhere). Bonus points if you can incorporate a vibration dampening material into your choice of feet.

Bonus: Optional Bed Hole Cover - to keep the electronics fan air from hitting the bottom of the heated bed. If you don't have magnets, use non-conductive tape. It is highly recommended that you do this mod completely from inside the electronics enclosure.

Bonus: Optionally solder a resistor in series with the case fan - should extend the life of the case fan and make it much quieter. You don't need as much airflow after installing the riser feet, so reduced airflow is not an issue.
150 Ohms for most mainboards.
100 Ohms for the older mainboards that only have one fan connector on the board. I.E., a splitter cable will be present for using both fans with one connector.
Example video, but really, you can just cut the red wire, solder the resistor in between the two halves, wrap it up, and plug it back in.

5. Trash Shields - because you don't want debris falling and then grinding into the belts/motor/gear.

6. Extruder Bowden Coupler Fix - unless you have one of the early Indiegogo printers or the V2, this part WILL break sooner rather than later.
