Always love our monthly 3D printer clinics at the @
Midsouth Makers
Had a cr30 today. Came in completely apart after being gifted to someone.
They had a big tree board and "upgrades".
First had to rebuild the treadmill as it was apart.
Then we tried the BigTree board, but it was for an Ender 3, and we didn't have our computer to compile a new Marlin.
Switched it for the original board, and it was finally alive.
The motors moved and the elements heated, but the previous owner CUT the hot-end cooling fan wires and the part cooling fans.
We also helped a mom and her son with an old Ender-3 she got on Facebook Marketplace.
OK, makers and tinkers who would sell their modded original Ender-3 to a mom who wanted a 3D printer for her kid.
F**K YOU!!!!
You knew that wasn't a good printer for them. 100 bucks is a lot to people, especially with the cost of Bambu Lab 3D A1 mini
We tried our best and stayed over an hour after the clinic, trying to clear out your aftermarket 3rd-party direct drive.
