I think the only reasonable option would be to create a custom made mechanics. Which is not so impossible considering the increased popularity of repraps. However the size is such that an n800 engine won't fit in a 770 cover.

Fwiw i also preferred the sturdy look of the 770 and the n800 is he one i liked less.
