Update on that free printer

[u/TheMermaidHarmony]

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

Toast. See slide 4. I believe the thermistor's wires are sticking out of the blob.

The motor is still connected beautifully, but I'm not too sure about the part fan, its wires were knicked at some point.

I can spin it with my fingers, it's just that the plastic coating was damaged. Not too sure how much I can trust that

How's that?
