What an awesome project - thanks for sharing the details!!
A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!
I’d love to know all of that. I just don’t ever trust a private corporation to safeguard my highly personal and unique DNA information from:
It’s too easy for a company to skimp on staff and digital security and then say “we’re soooo sowwwy, have 3 months of identity fraud protection on us” if they find a breach.
After looking at the upgrade options (and shopping with your wallet, not mine), I’d say buy a MK4 kit. You’re in a fairly unique position that you aren’t taking apart a working printer; you’re getting a new printer with 2023 electronics and motors for a discount.
However, if sinking that kind of cash isn’t wise for you right now, then build what you have! Or, pick up the MK3S+ upgrade kit for $50USD. MK3S+ is a reliable workhorse, and mine won’t be retired anytime soon. It still prints PETG as well or better than my X1C, if a little slower.
Good luck and have fun with it!
Go ahead and explain open source to Sen. Bloodfeast. His response will most certainly contain the word “communism”.
