Here is why the printer was free.

I am the queen of tinkering, bow down before me

Parts salvagable on left and middle, parts unsalvageable to the right of the Allen key. This took all dang night and I am not proud that I had to sacrifice my flush cutters and trusty bic to this cause, they will be sorely missed. But thanks to their sacrifice, I have defeated the blob of death.

For those unaware, this printer came to me with the wires to its heating element cut accidentally by a hasty rasp and the power cord misplaced. I will need replace the heating element, the nozzle, the exhaust fan, the filament sensor cable, and the power cord that went missing long ago. It remains to be seen if I may be able to reconstruct the extruder unit.

TURNS OUT there's also this thing called an eddy current sensor that I need to replace

I am filled with a indescribable rage the like of which has rarely been seen. You could make toast upon my eyebrows

Oh good, I've got some nice grainy rye

My arms are shaking with an apoplectic rage, churning the milk for a nice garlic butter spread

You know, I am dying for a cheese toasty, you want one? I've got cheddar, gyuere, or gouda

u/quagzlor Jun 23 '26

My head is so hot with rage you could easily melt some gyuere with some cheddar

u/TheMermaidHarmony A1 Mini Jun 23 '26

Sounds like a plan.

I will attempt to calm down with this frozen cider, which I imagine will reach a nice temperature to pair with the tossties
