The replacement board hasn't arrived yet. I pulled a power supply out of another printer because I was impatient. And that led to me doing more damage. But I hope another $30 purchase fixes it. But who knows. Just going to have to replace one part at a time. It puts a stop to my trailer build...
I got this printer as a "reward" for Creality stealing my design and selling it. I could never afford to replace it. Even when I was working I wouldn't buy one. But I can slowly replace all the parts.
The PSU fried, so I replaced it, got the 7-pin connector in wrong somehow and fried the heater and/or thermistor in the hotend, so now I have to fix that. And my X and Y axis steppers are making a thumping noise now. I think it's totaled.
You broke a rock crawler? How the hell is that even possible? 🤪
At least you are looking on the bright side of breakage 😉
Oh, tell her to grab the new Bronco!
Man, that's the perfect time for an upgrade! The banks usually have the best upgrades. But they won't sell them to you. You have to fill out an application to get them. The strangest thing though, and this really sucks, if you do get them, you have to give them back! 🤬
Yeah, I would definitely use buttonheads. They have a larger head diameter for this very reason. Or put a flat washer under the bolt. But buttonheads would look better.
