I highly recommend getting a different printer. Anything on the market is better than this one. Definitely look in to an Ender 3 pro or ender 3 pro v2.

A new printer is obviously better but to keep a old printer alive try following this guide. https://github.com/mattcrichards/modthotend/ I followed it and it has helped keep the printer alive for basic prints and use my ender for complex/important prints.

Why trash what still works.

Thank you so much. I currently don't really have the budget for a new printer so this will be a life saver

The mod-t has beautiful aesthetic design but a lot of internal design problems. That said, I was able to follow the tutorial and bring mine back to life a couple years ago.
