Creative Uses For MK4S Leftover Parts  

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

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.

I just saw this on reddit from @NomadsGalaxy about using the leftover parts from a C1 conversion as the basis for building a Voron SwitchWire. He even got permission from Mr. Prusa, himself, to use the Prusa name in the project: PrusaWire
