I have a question, I revently found a old 3d printer in my brothers basement, apparently its a “nophead mendel 90” that he built years ago but then lost interest in.
I would love to try and bring it back to life, but I know very little about printing, and have no idea where to start. Is a printer this old compatible with modern slicers? What software would I use to connect to it via usb? I tried to do research on my own, but found very little useful info about how to actually get it working
3d printers haven’t changed that much. If you can get some info from your brother and he can tell you what might be wrong (if anything) that would be very helpful.
They’ve changed A LOT for one they aren’t made of wood anymore. This isn’t an old ender. It’s made of mdf!
But he can learn. And if he gets it going, and the other components are OK, he could transfer it onto a metal frame. He could use this printer to print parts for some new printer build that was made from parts of this current build.
