Build log and general ranting. Had an old E5+(first printer) collecting dust, and in need of work to bring it back up to spec. Picked up the kit from fabreeko, and printed all the parts I felt like I needed. Building it with what hardware I had in/on the printer originally. And will probably modify more as time goes on. Currently have an E3D valcano, ordered and orbiter 2.0, has a BTT 1.4 Turbo.

State of printer at start and then stripped

#

Aparently had an issue with dowel size and one side snapped

#

Put another pair on to print and carried on

#

Installed remainder of motion system with part of the toolhead. Added legs and front grill for test fit.

#

Thats it for today. Might be a few days before I can continue work on it.

Ok long time no see, life happened

#

Since the last post, nothing has happened untill today, sat quietly in a corner.

#

So things that have happened today, I took baby out of the corner and set it up on a folding table in the middle of the garage so I cant walk past it, and started screwing with elelectronics.

#

Started stripping the old electronics enclosure, boy was my old mout warped

#

Then relised I did not have the rails for the bottle anywhere I could find... screw it I will mount the old enclosure upside down for now I thought. Lets just get this to minimal viable for now.

#

Thats when I realized... the stock wireing I was mostly planning on using will not work... at all

#

I was not planning on using a can-bus, and dont know if any will work with my SKR E3 Turbo, may need to upgrade board as well.
