Cheapest 3D printer makes GREAT benchy | unipolar 3D printer #17

Make your electronics prototyping easier with PCBs manufactured and assembled by https://www.pcbway.com/! All hail crappy 3D printers! We're back with the grand finale of the jankiest retro 3D printer project in modern times, and this time we're not only printing, but printing well! In this final episode, I'm installing threaded rod as lead screws on the X and Y axes, making custom deep-fried anti-backlash nuts from wood, and, of course, putting the entire printer back together to try it out. It prints significantly better now, and with some decent tuning, it could create some truly impressive benchies considering the ridiculous price point of the printer. As usual, things didn't go remotely smoothly on the software side of things, so we ended up with some juicy failed print drama too.
