He even got permission from Mr. Prusa, himself, to use the Prusa name in the project: PrusaWire

It’s cheaper to buy a new MK4s than it is to try to make the left over parts back into a printer. 

There is a considerable chance that you're right, but I won't care about the printer at the end, I'll most likely give it away. I will care about making it though, piece by piece, and wondering  whether or it's the Theseu's printer on not.

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

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? 😉
