Hm. That's all pretty good advice in general, thank you! Though I'm definitely not afraid to break stuff. I think that's generally how I learn.
The current motherboard in my printer is almost 100% functional except for one specific module that I completely fried (and as a result, my parts fans run at 100% all the time). I may have shorted a couple wires as I was working on some extensions. Whoops! Though as a result of that, I have a much better handle on how wiring works on these things and it's a lot simpler than I thought originally. The sparks were fun though!
Honestly I sorta wonder if I should document my build process and post it to Lemmy. It might be cool to have a "Here's how to convert" guide.
