Three of the stepper motors are re-used in the machine. The knife motor should be replaced with a better one.

The paper tray sensor can be reused. The knife sensor and lead edge sensor will need to be replaced. The lead edge sensor is a typical infrared sensor. The knife sensor is a typical flag sensor. Both are mounted with 3D-printed brackets.
