    Don't mess with it until anything bad happens, obviously, but the go-to upgrade people have been doing is the e3d v6 hotend.

    PrintedSolid.com sells them, or you can buy directly from e3d-online.com

    I would be very careful about buying them anywhere else because there are a lot of knock-offs out there.

    If you are in the US: printedsolid.com and if not e3d-online.com (they are in the UK).

    If you want a spare on hand print the greg's wade reloaded extruder. The groove mount is fine.

    It's the same model as you're currently running and a good one.
