Hey Everyone,

A friend of mine gave me a Big builder Dual feed 3d printer the other day because he thought it was broken, anyways I got it working but I hate it. It's got no heated bed, one nozzle to blend 2 filaments with two DD extruders strait outa china that jam every second print; and the print quality sucks but granted I haven't really played around with the settings.

I've got a ton of water-cooling parts laying around because I've built a couple of PCs in the past and have kinda wanted to build a liquid cooled RepRap with a heated chamber so I can print stuff like PEEK and PEI–and have an excuse to buy Slice's new Mosquito Liquid extruder (S*xy looking piece of Hardware).

Anyway....Does anyone have any experience cannabalizing Sh*tty proprietary printers to turn them into a RepRap with duet? This piece of junk has got good bones I feel, but its old and wasn't really built for the uses that I'm into.

This is my first post so pls be nice to me and don't make fun of my hopes and dreams, I've never built a reprap before but I've done plenty of mods to my ultimakers like tool changing and bioextrusion (I'm a Biotech geek) and have got nothin but time on my hands these days with COVID ringing everyones bell and all.

I'll attach a picture of this dinosaur so you guys know what i'm talking about, its made by Builder, terrible company ive sent them a ton of Customer support inquiries and never heard back. Just so you guys know what im dealing with this printer was designed to run on Cura 3.2 or something, pretty sure they're on like 4.8 now.
