Repurposing old printer parts?

I've recently gotten around to finally upgrading my i3mk2 to an i3mk2.5 due to the old heat bed failing to maintain temp during prints.  I've had the upgrade kits for a few years but never felt inclined to upgrade a perfectly working printer.

Rather than throwing old parts away like the heat bed and pinda probe, has anyone repurposed these for other projects? I've got several unsued Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, etc., and thought there might be other interesting applications for these but a Google search turned up nothing for me.
