I’ve had an interest in 3d printing for a while and had a few models on my wishlist, but long story short a mutual friend wanted an upgrade, and I was the first one to accept their model that they no longer needed. I cannot ask them for help. I’ll probably try to ask them what specifically they changed about the printer, but I can’t know that they’ll take the time to respond to me.

I’d like to know where to start with this. I got what seems like an entire 3d printer in addition to a box with a bunch of parts and stuff in it. I’m wondering if I should disassemble the printer and put it back together to get an idea of what I’m dealing with? Or if I should just be grateful it’s together and try and use it. It’d also be helpful if someone could help me identify which parts are not stock and what I should expect while using those parts.

Thank you,

Semi

    Like others mentioned, it doesn’t seem far off stock. The things I can pick out that are mods are:

    • bl touch (or something like it). This is an automatic bed leveling tool. So instead of spinning the little cogs under the bed all the time to get the bed level, it will probe the bed before printing to build a map of the bed position, and print accordingly.
    • general parts upgrade. This is a simple upgrade kit that’s just an increase in quality. Better springs, stuff like that
    • mainboard upgrade. Might just be upgraded to a silent board. Might be upgraded to something more… hard to tell.

    I don’t see much else that stands out as being particularly modded. Hope that helps.
