Basics
- A concept for acquiring components where rather than buy/build a dedicated component/part, use another system as the component, or a source of parts
- Examples
- Using the Transformer in Old Microwave Ovens for a High Voltage DC Power Supply ( Microwave Oven Transformer )
- Using a Food Dehydrator or Air Fryer as a Filament Dryer
- Using a Microwave Oven to sterilize biolab stuff in a similar manner (albeit with less capability) to an autoclave
- etc

- StanScrap (similar concept, but this aims to use materials that are universal (even in litter / ocean debris) and also try and make relatively standard raw materials with them)
