My $0.02 worth on 3D printers is that the new generation are lightyears ahead of where they were 5 years ago, and an old, cheap "starter" printer will only lead to frustration and pain. I had a Lulsbot Taz 5 printer for years and while I was able to make some OK parts out of PLA, I could never get good parts out of ABS or Nylon. It ended up being a big paperweight. Recently, however, I bought a Bambu Labs X-1 Carbon, and it is amazing! Great prints (almost) every time with the pre-programmed default settings for each material. My go to material is PETG-CF (carbon fiber reinforced PETG), really strong, tough material. It also helps that I am a CAD jockey with a full Solidworks license.

My real goal for many items is to 3-D print patterns for casting or maybe short tun stamping in aluminum.
I have been offered a contract to print some items that will require a much more serious machine.
But this toy Ender 3 v2 should suffice to learn the basics.

Welcome!!  Photos please !!  Always excited to see another S1.  How is the chassis?  Have you poked around inside the chassis with an ice pick?

I tried my best searching for any weaknesses, especially on the chassis. I haven't found the front section to be rotten or any other highly concerning faults apart from the obvious and hope I am right with this. My conclusion was it is to good for a full restoration and so it will be a running restoration.

Emailing Richard is a waste of time. If you want to contact him, call him on the phone. But if you want to purchase something, as JB says, go to the Lotus Supplies website (https://www.lotus-supplies.com/parts/) and order it.

Lotus Supplies sells the Banks stuff now.  There are a number of aftermarket rear axle options out there already.
