Because this was fun but it wasn't easy. But in the spirit of this project i scored the printer for 80 dollars bought new board and screen for 30 and bot steps for 10 for 5 of them total cost was right around 170ish so i consider it money well spent considering i got a dual extrusion machine out of the deal
