Creative Uses For MK4S Leftover Parts

It should be interesting to see what people do with the remaining parts after converting their MK4S to CoreOne…

RE: Creative Uses For MK4S Leftover Parts

Do you have an exhaustive list or picture of the leftover parts? I'm guessing that excepted the frame, extrusions and some plastic parts, there won't be many. Maybe this is a good start for a good old DIY i3? 😉

RE: Creative Uses For MK4S Leftover Parts

Here's the pile of left overs. Stuff not used:

Main frame with 3d-printed z-axis mounts and xBuddy box and cover.

Sitting in the y-axis area of the frame is the xLCD cable, the grounding cable, the old heatbed cable and thermistor, the x-axis fabric wrap, and the x-axis belt.

The part cooling fan holder and z-axis motor rubbed pads.

The y-axis/heatbed frame, belt, 3d-printed tensioners, and bearing mounts. Note, the expansion joints/mounts are removed and reused on the Core One.

X-axis assembly. All 3d printed parts, smooth rods, all bearings, Nextruder 3d printed mount, and nextruder main cable.

NFC assembly, 3d-printed NFC cover, NFC board, and antenna cable.

One y-axis bearing.

All screws / nuts.

All of the rest of the 3d-printed parts and xLCD case.

Anything you DON'T see here is in the Core One sitting next to it.

Thanks for the info! It seems that if you buy a screen, an xbuddy and the nextruder you'd be halfway there for making a usable mk4
