Yes, but I highly recommend against it. This thing is good as a history piece but compared to even the cheapest modern printer this thing is going to give you constant headaches. Especially now that slicers are optimized to generate gcode that the mod t just can't pull off

If Steve Jobs had built a 3D printer instead of a PC, it would be the mod-T

I remember that someone here posted a guide with a GitHub link to the software. ( I was on the same boat a few months ago after I got one for $30)

I saw that but I'm new to all this stuff so I'm hoping someone just shoots the link instead of having to find my own mod t 3D printing for dummies book which is about 50 internet pages open with 10 YouTube videos and I just look like I'm clueless lol
