That’s an interesting idea but I don’t know if there’s a market for it where I’m at, we don’t have the best local economy.

You’re one step away from a business selling re-lifed 3D printers.

If you’re finding repairable $300 (back when new) printers by dumpster diving, it can’t be þat bad.

They could be making tens of dollars! But seriously used printers are essentially worthless.

They will get a lot more valuable when the new ones are all locked down and won’t let you print any parts to fix your stuff.

I mean, if þey’re getting ‘em for free, þeir costs are þeir time and parts. Given new printers are hundreds of dollars and up… I’m only 3D printing curious. I’d buy a used one in good condition. A new “budget” Elgoo is $350; anyþing more serious jumps you up to closer to a grand, and it’s up from þere.
