            <description><![CDATA[ The hotend looks like it was imported from China. It is cheaper to order such things direct from China.

If you buy Chinese goods from a reseller you can pay a lot more than ordering direct. As an example:<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Lol. I saw Chinese suppliers selling asbestos insulation for makerbot style hotend extruders. I didn't know you were allowed to buy or sell asbestos anymore. I Bring it up because I see you have the same type of extruder . Just don't play around with the insulation around the tip.<br />
<br />
You could of gone a real thick ply. I went 18mm marine. after getting the smooth rods, motors. Plastic parts, it's all low cost sailing.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ As soon as you have a working printer, you can combine anything with everything.<br />
Even if this first printer makes lousy parts on slow speed, it is a startingpoint.<br />
I´d give the graber i3 a second chance. Try to adapt the binding y-axis with washers or elastic shims to make it work.<br />
<br />
Or buy a cheap acrylic rework frame and transplant your stuff to it.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I will avoid them, last thing I need is broken perspex, my only reason behind buying a whole kit was It's all there in one. <br />
truth is I have a graber i3 everything except Borosilicate Glass and some clamps. It's not beginner friendly sparse documentation. I had to drill the 3.5mm to 4mm, M3 was to small.<br />
There are a number of reasons why I fell out finishing the graber i3.<br />
<br />
Below image I had to use some L brackets to attach the hot end other problems like binding on the Y axis if the wooden LM8UU supports where tightened at all, also had to use lots of washers to tighten the hotend. Thread cutting into the peek or abs section aswell.<br />

Rather than spend £250 on chinese printer. use what parts I already have and get a better stronger frame. I'm thinking P3Steel Prusa i3<br />
my Graber rods are 317mm 400mm 342mm, P3Steel require 320mm 375mm 341mm, M5 threaded are 292mm need 295mm need new smooth/threaded rods.<br />
<br />
I sacrificed 12 hp printers for these M8 400mm long 393mm to the first notch for an e-clip bearings are smooth and quiet.<br />
12xSC8UU, 24xSK8 4xKFL08 a wooden 19mm mdf frame design in 3ds max based on a german post about a reprap from scanner / printer carriage. I dont know when I will start / finish it,<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ The third has metall bushings for x and y. And it has real leadscrews for z. This is my favourite.<br />
The big print area needs longer to heat up and some report, it is difficult to bring it above 90°C ( ABS needs ~110°C )<br />

BTW: They all have acrylic fronts for the y-carrier. I don´t know, if they will last long  Belt tension will deform them over time.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Those printers resemble the Geeetech chinese printers. There is a lot about them in the Prusa i3 section --&gt; [<a href="http://forums.reprap.org/list.php?406" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">forums.reprap.org</a>]<br />
<br />
Some may come fine, some may come with a messed up power supply(as in my case)<br />
<br />
Just do some research. I personally think a cheapo printer isnt bad for a beginner.<br />
<br />
Check out the Prusa i3 with aluminium case, they are stronger than the acrylic.]]></description>
