Klicky. I personally think tap adds too much mass and klicky is great
Magnetic panel clips to make it way easier/faster to get the panels on/off
An under bed filter with carbon. I'm using "the filter". Even if you're not going to print ASA/ABS the extra chamber heat helps eliminate warping on large PETG parts s
