The Tevo Tornado is in my opinion a quite good printer out of the box, however there are some things that can be upgraded very easy that help raise quality reliability and safety.
- Level Knobs
The leveling nuts on the Tornado are small and it is difficult to level the bed, this makes it easier.
- Heat bed cables strain relief
The power cables of the heat bed are connected to mains voltage this helps protecting the cables from movement stress. Later i replaced this with the ultrabase mount.
- Ultrabase mount
The “Build Tac” sheet from Tevo is quite good but is damaged quickly when trying to remove parts that stick very well, for that i decided to replace it with a 310x310mm anycubic ultrabase and used these mounting brackets.

- Self centering Z coupler
The coupler installed on the Tornado is not the best and can cause wobbling. I replaced it with this design.
