Hi all, i was wondering whether anyone has had any experience buying kits from 3dlabtek? I recently ordered their mechanical prusa i3 kit and was wondering if anyone else has done the same? I have been talking with the owner sorting out details with my order and he has been very knowledgeable and helpful for creating my order. Although this is my first post on the reprap forum, I am not new to 3d printing. I've been using a printrbot simple for the past few months. While I've enjoyed tinkering with my printrbot and using it to get a feel for slicing programs, I feel like it's design is too flimsy to acquire the level of print accuracy I am looking for. I figured I could save myself some money by tearing down my printrbot simple and transplanting the electronics over to the prusa i3. Can anyone see an issue with transferring over the electronics? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,242848#msg-242848 Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:35:47 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,298072#msg-298072 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,298072#msg-298072

Fabrizio was very helpful, particularly since I wanted a different hotend mount.

The parts are all well made and the packaging was excellent.

I believe the price was very good.

I ordered the all-metal i3 x-carriage and plan to use it with an i3 build in the near future. It should work well with an all-metal high temperature extruder. The pieces fit together well, and appear well-made. -Phuzzy]]> Phuzzy Logic General Mendel Topics Fri, 04 Oct 2013 17:10:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,251615#msg-251615 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,251615#msg-251615
Update on my i3 kit order! I recieved all my required parts and I assembled my unit over the course of two days. I am very happy with my kit and feel I paid a fair price for my 3dlabtek kit. This printer is miles ahead when compared to my original printrbot Simple. Again, all the parts in the description were present and accounted for when it arrived and I am super happy with the end result!]]> THE_SHRUB General Mendel Topics Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:10:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,242982#msg-242982 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,242982#msg-242982 I am just new to 3D printers.
It would be nice if you could tell us,
if everything worked correct with the order.

I was just wondering, that there is no site notice.

But the site looks good.]]> shwolli General Mendel Topics Thu, 05 Sep 2013 18:41:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,242848#msg-242848 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,242848,242848#msg-242848
