Hey Guys, I've found someone who is interested in making some extruder kits for us. I got the pricing, and I'd like to find out what interest there actually is before I go ahead and place an order with the RRRF. Anyway, the kit includes: * Aluminum CNC'ed extruder body parts * drive screw * bearings * cut / drilled heater barrel * drilled / tapped PTFE barrier It contains all the mechanical parts (minus fasteners) that you need to create an extruder. It looks like the intial price is going to be ~$90 / kit for the first 10, then dropping to $70/kit for the rest. If there is enough interest, I'll go ahead and place the order. I'm also going to see if there is anything else we could do to further reduce costs. If I do, I'll post back here. If you're interested, just post here to that effect. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3575#msg-3575 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 10:04:47 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,5290#msg-5290 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,5290#msg-5290 ZachHoeken Reprappers Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:03:56 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,5262#msg-5262 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,5262#msg-5262

Thanks, that was a lot faster than I expected :)]]> Anonymous User Reprappers Wed, 18 Jul 2007 08:16:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3690#msg-3690 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3690#msg-3690
One benefit of having defined interfaces and communication protocols is that you can indeed mix and match fairly well, as long as everyone sticks to the agreed definitions. So a set of boards of 1.2 or 1.2.1 should work with the (only) released set of firmware, which should work with either of the two host software releases, which should work with any MkII extruder, and with any RepRap Darwin robot parts kit you can get your hands on :-)

We're not yet in "mature production" of RepRap Darwin 1.0s, obviously. We don't even have a single complete Darwin 1.0 in existence! So none of this is quite as simple as, for example, buying an audio CD and knowing it will be compatible with your CD player... well, even there some DRM measures can prevent use of some "CDs" on some PCs, actually!!

Sounds great! Thanks for putting together the order.

Is there another order of HDPE in the works? Once I get the extruder parts I'm going to need something to feed it.]]> Anonymous User Reprappers Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:00:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3639#msg-3639 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3639#msg-3639 Joseph Shull Reprappers Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:49:57 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3628#msg-3628 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3628#msg-3628
this is a fantastic response from you guys. as soon as i hear back from the Luis (the guy who will be doing these... he's also on the forums) we should be going forward with the order.

it will probably be 3-4 weeks until i actually have the parts and am able to ship them out. i'll try and get something up on the store for those of you that want to do presales. otherwise i'll make an announcement when we have them in stock.

in the meantime, i'll work on getting the build instructions created and working for this version of the extruder. this should be an interesting few weeks =)]]> ZachHoeken Reprappers Mon, 16 Jul 2007 12:11:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3622#msg-3622 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3622#msg-3622 Anonymous User Reprappers Mon, 16 Jul 2007 10:37:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3621#msg-3621 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,3575,3621#msg-3621
$90 is very affordable, only the plastics, without the barrel, drive screw etc. rapid prototyped would cost more...

I'd also be interested in the 3d printed parts. Although i've searched for some time I could not find a shop that lets me print parts on a stratasys 3dprinter here in Austria.

N.B. The last time I did this kind of low volume manufacturing, The winning combination was sand casting the raw body, then CNC to final profile.
Replace sand with silicone if we are talking plastic.
CNC for the barrels makes great sense.

Best,

I've found someone who is interested in making some extruder kits for us. I got the pricing, and I'd like to find out what interest there actually is before I go ahead and place an order with the RRRF.

Anyway, the kit includes:

* Aluminum CNC'ed extruder body parts
* drive screw
* bearings
* cut / drilled heater barrel
* drilled / tapped PTFE barrier

It contains all the mechanical parts (minus fasteners) that you need to create an extruder.

It looks like the intial price is going to be ~$90 / kit for the first 10, then dropping to $70/kit for the rest. If there is enough interest, I'll go ahead and place the order. I'm also going to see if there is anything else we could do to further reduce costs. If I do, I'll post back here.
