Hi, do you Know if the LE and the 2 share the same parts?
i mean do both model use the same power supply, printhead, motherboard and motors? and is it possible to change one part from one model to the other just straight?

Power supply, motherboard, and motors are all likely a no. The printhead should be the same but I have never pulled them from each to compare connectors or housing. Fairly certain the printhead between the Edge 2 and FX is identical but can't say for certain regarding the Edge LE

The edge FX has the capability to print 1200x300 DPI where as the edge can only go up to 600x300 DPI.

I do however remember seeing an old post the other day in which Fred said there is no difference in the edge 2 and FX printhead. The FX has more bells and whistles, but what comes out of the machine is the same between the two

Power supply I can't confirm, they've changed suppliers over the years with their part number revisions. The last Edge LE I had was several years ago so I could be wrong on this. If believe the Edge 2 foil motor difference was what allowed the step-up to 600x300 dpi, whereas the Edge LE could only do 300x300 dpi.

Power supply is the same.
Printheads have the same part numbers and are the same.
Motherboard and motors should all be the same except for the foil motor as stated by FunkotronXL above.

Not a problem. I have x4 Edge Classics, x2 Edge LE's, x20 Edge 2's. If I get some time in the next couple of days I will compare everything with part numbers and let you know.
