Uuh...honestly you probably made a truly terrible choice buying that thing. Even free I probably wouldn't have gone with it. Before you're done fixing and upgrading that thing you could've probably bought a brand new fully functional printer from a different manufacturer and saved yourself many hours of work and frustration.
I would cut my losses now on that thing unless you seriously enjoy a time and money sink that will eventually lead to you getting another printer anyway.
That's a shame but I am enjoying working on printers as much as I am printing to be honest. As far as money sinks, I could have bought a nice bambu brinter for what I have into my ad5x and ender 3. It's easier to see after the fact. Perhaps this one will go in the attic until I feel like throwing more money in a hole. Thanks for the reply :)
