I was going to bring this up as well. I can't see which version of WordPress they're running from the account I have access to. I also can't see which plugins are installed. I can guess there's too many installed though. I also need to find out who the admin actually is so that I can get my own account and they need to have a talk about account sharing. At least someone at some point knew what permissions are, which is good I guess. I also have no idea where or how the site is being hosted. Someone has access to the host because some of the links on the site are from different directories than the standard wp-content folder you use in word press. In fact this could also be a nightmare depending on how they are storing files and using permissions. This is really a can of worms, oh bother.

    I'm not sure they even know I'm involved at this point. I don't know if they're going to be "fired" or not from the position or if things have changed. I was under the impression they weren't involved anymore. There's also a ton of stuff that just needs to be redone with some sense of design. I'm going to wait until my contact with the non-profit reaches out to me and I'll see what's up.

    No, when we were teaching our child to read they would try to do this instead of sounding out or reading the words and just make up whatever the pictures looked like. It wasn't taught that way to them as far as I know, it was just a sneaky way of cheating, which didn't work. Now they can read at 2 grade levels higher than they are because we taught them how to sound out words correctly.

    Here is the guide I used

    https://hackaday.io/project/14823-monoprice-select-mini-maximum-3d-printer-mods/log/55525-upgrade-the-z-axis-with-a-nema17-stepper-and-tr8x8-leadscrew/

    I had to cut out the old lead nut and drill tiny holes to mount it. The wiring that came with the new motor plugged into the main board but the motor turned the wrong way so I had to switch two wires. Do not switch them the way they did it in the guide it will not work.

    Something to consider is also that the stock screw is not standard and you should change your layer height to

    Layer Height (mm) 0.04375 (results may vary)* 0.0875 0.13125 0.175 0.21875 0.2625 0.30625

    There is also sailfish firmware which iirc helps a lot plus using octoprint and modern slicing software. The only pain point is leveling the bed manually and not having a flexible bed plate so sometimes removing the print can be a pain. I used to get pretty good prints off of this clone.

    Prusia slicer makes it easy to set up two extruders as well as having the option for the firmware. Although it still outputs gcode and you have to convert it to x3g which I use the GPX octoprint plugin for. I'm sure you could use Orca slicer but it's not documented. I used to use Slic3r before Prusia slicer became a thing.
