Printed part upgrades
Chassis
X-Z support leg (can maintain or improve printer alignment if DIY assembly wasn't 100% perfect)
adjustable legs (improves overall printer stability especially during fast extruder movements)
Y-Z support brace (stiffens printer structure and may help maintain proper printer alignment when the unit is transported or when used in unheated workspaces)
LCD cable clips (cleans up cable routing)
Extruder & X-axis
cable strain relief (not needed on latest shipping Minis but early models had issues with cable routing)
part cooler fan shroud (probably not needed but may improve PETG performance)
Y-axis
alternate heatbed cable strain relief (simplifies cable routing and fitment in enclosures)
nyloc mod (can help maintain more consistent bed leveling especially during season changes in unheated workspaces)
Printer hardware upgrades
For easier maintenance, faster and higher quality prints across a variety of materials, look to the BondTech extruder upgrade.

Ever get blobs of filament sticking to the nozzle? Or have a difficult time keeping the extruder at a constant temperature when the part cooling fan is on?
Put a sock on it!
These little beauties just clip onto the heat block and keep everything clean and at the proper temperature. They don't last forever though and will eventually crack or deform from so many heat-cycles, so best to keep a spare.

The texture is similar to the Prusa sheets but results in a more porous looking finish on PLA and PETG. On Reddit and Amazon, customers claim that it is easier to print with these sheets compared to the original Prusa parts. Regardless of which textured sheets you choose, your parts will look far more professional with a textured sheet than regular smooth sheets, but some added care is needed:
Use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean after each print
After 10-20 prints, consider rinsing with mild dish detergent and warm water, then dry and wipe down both sides with IPA again.
When releasing larger PETG prints, allow the part to fully cool to room temperature, then consider heating for a few minutes prior to releasing the print.
For trickier PLA and ASA prints that tend to warp or dislodge, it is OK to use PVA glue stick to fill in the gaps on the texture. This will help the print stick and release when finished. Note that the texture of the part will look a little weird and there will be white residue on both the part and the sheet which you'll need to clean off with warm water.
