Modernizing a old 3D printer - Part 1 - Teardown (a)

What is up Makers?

Today we are taking an awesome 3D Printer from days past, we will be modernizing this awesome printer over the next few weeks.

The printer is a ORD MH3000 R1. This is a 5 head water cooled 3D printer! meaning it can maintain vastly different temperatures for each head, allowing for multi material printing. Two of the heads use thermo couples as well, allowing some seriously high temperature printing.

Sadly, while it had modern electronics when it was released, this is a dinosaur now. So we will be swapping the control board for a BTT board with the expansion to allow us to control the 8 stepper motors needed.

So here are the upgrade targets:

1. Big Tree Tech GTR control board
2. Klipper
3. Convert the system from 12v to 24v power
4. Replace heaters
5. Add PEI bed on a flex plate
6. Add auto bed leveling
7. 7" touch screen control
8. Modern cooling fluid
9. Separate power and control electronics to external box
10. Enclose the printer with active chamber heating (24V)

Video List:

1. Mechanical Teardown
2. Extruder and hot end tear down clean and reassemble
3. New electronics (Setup and Test)
4. Soldering the Raspberry Pi 4 to the GTR and configuring UART via GPIO
5. create and electronics enclosure
6. Re assemble printer
7. Test and Tune
