The printer is currently in shambles as we try to understand its inner workings. It has some pretty clever tricks for how it controls the three axis and fits into such a small shell. Here's what we have learned:-This printer works using four stepper motors. Two in the base to control the y and z, and two in the print head to control the x and extruder.
-We need an electric thermistor. A simple thermometer won't work since we need it to be electrical.
The printer's stepper controllers are all located in the base, so it won't be too hard to tap into the system and gain manual control.
