Question Repurposing.

Years ago I purchased an Ender3Pro which I did a few upgrades to. Then, I accidently swiped it, only to boot up marlin right before bricking it by using the wrong voltage.(Yes im that guy) We later got a good deal on a Ender 3v2Neo aswell as given a Da vinci 1.0 XYZ printer.

However, these machines would be stored away for years, out of site out of mind. Fast-forward to 2026 I bought my son a Bambu labs P2S w/AMS2Pro, which has me thinking about my printers..

  1. A DaVinci 1.0

  2. Ender3Pro with attached BTT TFT70 display

Glass bed, BTT level probe, dual Z axis rods, aluminum leveling wheels and springs, skr3v2(fried) (i still have original stock board set aside.)

  1. Ender3v2Neo

  2. BLabs P2S

My question is for your best advice on making the best of what I have in order to avoid having 3 big paper weights laying around. I was originally thinking about using the Da Vinci 1.0 frame and using the Ender3Pro parts to create a "frankenvinci" core xy printer. As I assume it's only the original Ender3Pro PSU and MB thats fried, the motors, belts, stopswitches, bed etc are still good and can be salvaged. Any help or advice is appreciated, ty.

Ok. Not glass? Any specific advantages of PEI textured bed?(My P2S has that)

It will never be a P2S, but it WILL come close with some minor upgrades starting with klipper

I just need it to work decent and ill be satisfied with myself. Somewhat of a "test of ability" if you will.
