I have a seven year old Tevo Tarantula with a few upgrade parts. E3d hot end, metal Bed holder. Cheap liner rails on teh Y axis. What can I do with it? What can I add or convert it into ?
Have a Tevo Tornado (and 4 other printers). The bed was warped on mine as well. A reliable (but messy) way I found to 'share out' the difference in height was to strip the sticker backed base off the glass bed 2) put blue painters tape on the glass bed 3) put a light layer of PVA glue (Pritt Stick) on the tape. Tbf, with that, it printed PLA and PETG fine (although there was some Z banding). The main horror show was the wiring though. I had to completely re-wire the lethal control box, add an Earth to the mains powered frame!!!! I replaced the SSR, added fuses, added strain relief to the non-compliant mains wiring to the bed, added a Pi and a smoke alarm to control a smartplug in case of overtemp or fire. If this thing goes wrong then it will go wrong quickly. If the cheap SSR controlling the bed fails short you have a mains powered firestarter. I never felt comfortable running it tbh, it took up too much space for what it did and it is in the loft now lol. I can be mad to print OK though.

Hello, would you have the file for this front part where the LCD is installed? V
All the same things happened to me, great crash course into printer debugging for me as a noob
