Sorry my understanding was the current printer just needed some TLC, I'm
failing to see how a few cheap parts justifys just buying a new 3d printer?

Hi,
We should accept that if it's cheaper for us to buy a new printer than fix
the existing one, no sane member is going to take the old one, and any plan
to replace it should include planning for the prompt disposal of the
existing one. It's lovely to think about repairing and upcycling but if
we've already decided it's not economical we should act accordingly and not
just keep it around the space forever.
Thanks,
Iain.

Hello,
So what is the conclusion?
Sounds like either:
1. Someone (Hibby? 😅) gets some parts and spends time fixing the
existing ones
2. Buy a new one and print stuff. Guessing the old one could be
offered up to members to take and fix up themselves if they wanted? To
postpone landfill.
I think either is fine but the first requires time and effort by
someone...
