I don't know if any of the printed parts on my printer will fit an Ender3. But printer upgrades are the first things many people print. Electronics enclosures, tool trays and improved airflow are easy but very specific to an exact model of printer.
There are upgrades too. Like a probe for measuring the bed height and auto-level software. Those are harder to get working. One gadget I want but have not made is a holder to attach a dial indicator to the print head. I've not seen one so some day I'll design one myself. The place to look is "Thingiverse". Here are any number of Ender 3 fan nozzles, some good, some bad. https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=ender+3+fan&type=things&sort=relevant Thingiverse has a seach box so you can also just search for "ender 3" and get dozens of pages of stuff. Quality varies dramatically as anyone can and does post stuff. Your best bet is to look at Thingiverse and get ideas, down load a few and then use a CAD program to improve the design. Make an account on Thingiverse and then you can make lists of things to look at later There are also many electronics covers and cable protectors to fit the Ender 3. But they are specific to the printer. I have an A6 that is made of smoked Plexiglas, not metal like yours. An enclosure is a very good CAD project. You could design your own the way you like it. I use Fusion 360 but I'm studying OnShape. OnShape runs well on the Linux system because of the better Nvidia GTX1060 on the Linux system vs the Intel HD6000 on the iMac.
