Hey guys and gals!
I have all the spare parts of a prusa i2 printer, and then some…minus one motor. What would you upgrade it into using what you can from it?

2

I would just spend the$15 for a stepper motor, put it together and sell it, then use the money to buy something else.

I would get one of these and order the plastic parts and missing motor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Prusa-i3-6mm-Aluminium-Frame-Threaded-Smooth-Rod-Kit-RepRap-3D-Printer/32609483482.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.119.Gwp2rJ&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10000073_10065_10068_10501_10000074_10000132_10000033_10503_10000030_10000026_10000175_10000126_10000023_10000129_10000123_10000507_432_10000505_10000407_10000068_10060_10062_10056_10055_10054_302_10000063_10059_10000120_10099_10000020_10000156_10000013_10000117_10103_10102_10000016_10000114_10096_10000111_10052_10053_10050_10107_10051_10106_10000097_10000094_10000433_10000090_10000147_10000091_10000144_10084_10000150_10000101_10083_10000100_10080_10000153_10000104_10082_10000045_10081_10110_10000108_10111_10112_10113_10114_10000089_10000086_10000083_10000042_10000135_10000080_10078_10000485_10079_10000039_10073_10000494_10000140_10070_10000036_10122_10000389_10123_10000451_10126_10124_10000187-10503_10501,searchweb201603_2,afswitch_1,ppcSwitch_4,single_sort_0_default&btsid=0ba50d1b-ae4a-4bfb-8cee-9956d59d1f8b&algo_expid=d4bf79b7-7954-4f45-a785-96119e66eb7f-14&algo_pvid=d4bf79b7-7954-4f45-a785-96119e66eb7f

but wheres the fun in that?!
I have tons of spare parts, belt, rods all kinds of fun stuff. no fun not making it into something enjoyable.

5

thats not too bad. Ill have to look up the length of the rods @Jeff_Dewe I might already have them.

6

Great then buy if for $50 cheaper without the rods. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Prusa-i3-Rework-Aluminium-Frame-kit-black-silver-color-Anodized-6mm-aluminm-alloy-RepRap-3D-Printer/32735708613.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.221.W99Nwd&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10000073_10065_10068_10501_10000074_10000132_10000033_10503_10000030_10000026_10000175_10000126_10000023_10000129_10000123_10000507_432_10000505_10000407_10000068_10060_10062_10056_10055_10054_302_10000063_10059_10000120_10099_10000020_10000156_10000013_10000117_10103_10102_10000016_10000114_10096_10000111_10052_10053_10050_10107_10051_10106_10000097_10000094_10000433_10000090_10000147_10000091_10000144_10084_10000150_10000101_10083_10000100_10080_10000153_10000104_10082_10000045_10081_10110_10000108_10111_10112_10113_10114_10000089_10000086_10000083_10000042_10000135_10000080_10078_10000485_10079_10000039_10073_10000494_10000140_10070_10000036_10122_10000389_10123_10000451_10126_10124_10000187-10503_10501,searchweb201603_2,afswitch_1,ppcSwitch_4,single_sort_0_default&btsid=0ba50d1b-ae4a-4bfb-8cee-9956d59d1f8b&algo_expid=d4bf79b7-7954-4f45-a785-96119e66eb7f-27&algo_pvid=d4bf79b7-7954-4f45-a785-96119e66eb7f

Oooooo

Turn it into a CNC or laser.

@NavyMustard ​, I’m listening!
Would one this small be very useful?

10

Well the the cheapest CNC online is smaller, but using a laser to engrave can be useful. You only need 2 axis for the laser

That would be pretty awesome!
