Built in a cave, from a box of scraps. :D
The local makerspace has had a lack of 3D printers. However, they did have an old Velleman K8200. I had a bunch of spare parts from a Tron X5A, and a couple of the other members had a few random bits and pieces from their 3D printers.
Together we combined all our parts to come up with this thing. It's called Frank (as in Frankenstein). It uses:
The frame and rods/bearings of the K8200
A cloned Titan and spare cloned E3D v6
A MKS Gen-L V1 with 2209's and a random DVR8825
A 24V heatbed from the X5SA
The 360W power supply from the X5SA
A Prusa Pinda probe
A few steppers from the K8200 and one from the X5SA
Belts from the X5SA
A powdercoated PEI flex bed (still waiting for it to arrive).
A bunch of 3D printed bits and pieces to get everything to work, mostly derived from Prusa designs.
Firmware is Marlin, with sensorless homing in X and Y, linear advance, automatic bed levelling (G34) and unified bed levelling.
Build volume is ~300x300x270mm
Total cost - bunch of random spare parts and a PEI build sheet.

Not a bad first benchy. Touch more retraction and we'll be good.

Pretty messy cable bay. No real options there with all the jumpers required to get sensorless and UART working. Might trim a few cables to tidy things up a bit. This is still only at the initial "getting things working" stage.
