I removed the frame (thanks for advice @Ashley_M_Kirchner_No ), removed the horrible ducting and have begun removing the support posts for the old bed. I think i’ll get some threaded brass rod in there instead and rig a poor man’s z-table.
Have been lazy and ordered a premade honeycomb bed.
The connecter between the stepper and board can’t be unplugged at either end so i’ll have to keep the frame near the chassis while modding.
