Absolutely. Rather it go to some functional use. And even after I replace the motors, I'll save the old ones for something less intensive in the future.

Thank you so much. I’m glad the whole thing came together and folks dig it. 👌🏻👌🏻

Loving the ReAnimator reference! A cult classic!!!

oh man, those printers were so loud. the wood body just turned it into a giant molten plastic spewing guitar. haha. I had the replicator 2, and while it was closed source and looked a hair more commercial, it was equally crappy. I did keep that printer though, so I was considering doing something like this in the future. cool project, bravo sir!

Wow! most under rated channel! Great content, well delivered and cinematography to the top! Keep it up man! this channel will explode! 😃

Excited to carry out this project for the two unused Replicator 2X we have in the lab, need to check it would work first! Thanks for doing all the work on it!

Love the project and re-use of old parts. Would love to see what you would do with something like the anet a6, what would be needed to make it a half-decent modern printer

Nice restomod! The TV screen was a great project in itself! And the getting to ERRF was highly relatable, I was up til early before SMRRF to get the vase from my giant printer. I'm modernising my Replicator 2's and you've inspired me to do a few things - remodel the Y carriage parts, and fix a similar fitment issue I had on the e3D hot end X carriage - same rocking back and forth. For the motors... The original Makerbot firmware and slicer does a lot more than most slicers to retune the motor power on the fly - the original boards had controllable current and it's constantly tweaking to supply more or less power to the motors - as they use more or less depending on how fast they're moving/holding.

super dope use of an old makerbot printer

What an amazing intro!! This kind of content shouldn’t be free! Thank you for this Halloween special’

👻 🎃 👻 I always intended the intro to be like that but so close to Halloween I had to lean in harder. 😅🎃

Was neat seeing this. I had wanted to klipperize an Ultimaker Original and take it to ERRF but when that fell through I just came to see what everyone had. Honestly until I saw Joel doing his 60 second interview I didn't notice what was up.

This is a GREAT project, i still have a few old wooden printers floating around for show pieces that I take to fairs and events.

I had one of these. Early Adopter! Very cool for the time.

Amazing work on this! I am doing a restomod of my old SeeMeCNC Eris delta printer using modern voron parts and it's amazing how well the new electronics and software help print quality and speed. Hotend and extruder design has exceed so much in the last couple years it's incredible to see the hotend competion "heat up", so to speak.

No way, I just realized that you just posted this 3 weeks ago. Funny because I have a dual extruder model that's been gathering dust. I was just going online to check out what other people have been doing with them 😆 🤣. So it's funny you busted yours out too. I happen to have an extra Ender bed heater sitting here. I think I might have swap that out and also change the build plate. Let the Frankenbuild games begin!

It was meant to be. I’ll be releasing the design files for my build very soon. Just need to final test some new revision parts. So maybe you can use some or all of them for your build.

Really fun project and harkens back to the original ideas around at home 3d printing.

Great build, I like the look of the old Replicators. I converted a Replicator 2 to Klipper and it was fun.

I think staining the wood body might be a nice project. Maybe use that dark stain you used on your butcher block top desk!

Looking forward to the design files for this project. I was thinking of doing the same project as you but was dreading the designing work involved for all the axis and belt system. Great work bud

Wow ! What a coindence somebody gave me an old Makerbot replicator2 black color..looks cool but it’s old. Thanks for doing this bro..appreciate it. I sure gonna do something on it too..👍

This video deserves way more views. Good work!

Very cool project! Been thinking about resto-modding my SeeMeCNC Rostock Max V1 from back in the day. It is 10 years old now as well. I spent 5 years upgrading the control board etc, but never the power supply (big mistake). With a 24v power supply and some added part cooling, inductive sensor, more adaptable mainboard, etc, that thing would absolutely kick butt.

I took me 4 years of experience with CAD and my printers to get to a point where I can make a functional model without going through a trial and error process.

Awsome project and video! Keep it up 💪🏻

Ha! Amazing, I have a Replicator 2x and I've rebuilt it in 2020 with an SKR 1.4, TMC2209's and a self designed new hotend carriage. This year I decided it was time to upgrade once again because the original Makerbot gantry really isn't that good so I started turning it into a CoreXY design, but I didn't make it yes because I'm still waiting for the linear rails and this is my only functional printer, so I have to print the upgrade with this machine. It has an inductive sensor for the bed leveling which works really well with the wonky bed. Ps it's not Fystec, but Fysetc.

Sweet job! I have a bibo that I'm toying with doing this to after I finish the ratrig. Subbed :)

This is really awesome! I'd love to get some old printers and convert them to current technology and see what their max potential is.

This is a really cool Project 👌🏽👍🏼

Makes me wanna finally fix my first machine

Great film. Super dope project. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏

I need to get some of those MOFSETs for my printer aswell.

Love this project, saddens me that this video didn't perform that well. 😢 My Solidoodle 3 will be slightly more compact, but the full steel frame will provide good rigidity in order to push accelerations. Going to use a Voron Legacy X-carriage and the plan is to use the XoL toolhead with CNC Sherpa Mini. Haven't found many toolheads that won't need modifications or remixes in order to fit the Sherpa Micro.

Thanks to your inspiration, I shoved a Voron legacy inside a Makerbot clone.

Getting anxious waiting for files now.

Sorry I never got around to answering this. I like the XG. It is easy to mount, easy to service, and compact. That said, I'm not sure the flowrate is as high as I'd like. It is smaller and ligther than a Dragon High Flow hotend and I think it flows similarly to that, but maybe slightly lower. I have to test it further to find out for sure. So, if you need small and lightweight, it is great. If you want the highest flow you can get? I'm not sure it is the right call.

I had changed the board on my FFCP 2012 version. I would say its quite worth the change. but I had to re crimp all the wires and play around to get the Heated bed to work. you would need to change out the hotend thermistors too as the OG ones wont be recognized by klipper. Currently im slowly slugging through on the Core XY mod.

Time was the greatest investment. As for filament, I had to print many prototypes so I can’t say how much of that would be required either. Most of the parts were provided by brands, so I don’t really have a total unfortunately. Realistically it could be built in a number of different ways with differing values. A cheaper board, power supply, and hotend could be used.
