        <title>[UK] £299 Full 3d printer reprap kits April 2011</title>
        <description>Hi,

if this is the wrong forum then please move it.

I am someone who has for many years been interested in cnc which recently lead me to reprap. I am in the process of finishing the design of a reprap type of machine which will be similar to the makerbot/ultimaker which Im planning to sell as a kit for £299+P&amp;P.
It will have linear bearings on all axis and ramps electronics.  The axis are probably going to run on 10mm rod so that it could be used with a dremel for pcbs. The build area will be 150mmx150mmx120mm.

I am at the moment experimenting with an extruder using off the shelf parts.

My timescale is to start selling kits in April 2011 and will offer three different types.

Kits without electronics and extruder.
Kits without electronics but with an extruder.
Full kits.

The full kits will be £299 with all others being a percentage of the cost.

Do people think this is a fair price and can anyone foresee a problem with selling these kits?

I do admire the reprap community and Adrian Bower and will hopefully be able to provide a lower cost means of joining this community.

            <description><![CDATA[ A little warning for those considering buying sumpod from a former customer. Apparently I just got banned from the forum for just posting a technical question to get my pod working after a year putting it on hold. I just ask about motor issue that I am having and did not include any negativity about richard or sumpod and that was enough to get the ban hammer. Many people got ban in similar fashion so gl if you have any problem.]]></description>

Richard is still selling the, what is now, basic model. He's also got a new aluminium model that's more expensive but ready to use rather than being a kit. www.sumpod.com]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ There are perhaps 5 or 6 shipped since the 1st of August '11 and some 60+ ordered so you either need to be very patient or consider another option such as [<a href="http://www.solidoodle.com" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.solidoodle.com</a>] - they are nearing their first batch of 20 for orders and the delivery is 5-6 weeks.  Maybe my SUMPOD numbers are wrong so I'd be glad for Richard to fix that wtih a more detailed and current update.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Is this still an ongoing project? The website shows some very interesting photographs - the MDF case makes it look very Thing-O-matic like which is a good thing in my view. Very interested in purchasing a unit like this provided it does what it says on the can of course!<br />
<br />
Richard / progomez - can you update this thread one way or another?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

<br />
I am interested in your  £299 Full 3d printer reprap kits. Can you forward me your full name and details and a full Postal address in the UK for warding payment to you and photo's of your kit and the system as fully build. Can you forward the kit now or not. There seem to have be a lot of delays, what is the reason for this?<br />
<br />
I very much look forward to hearing from you further.<br />
<br />
All the best<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ "I have been asked what if the goal is not reached. The goal will allow me to take a small profit from each machine, by bulk buying but I have made sure that the price quoted is one that would ensure a machine to all participants regardless of goal. It was never my intention to make a massive profit from each machine but with success will bring a small profit ensuring that I strive for a quality product."]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys<br />
<br />
Extremely interested in this printer, can someone explain what indiegogo actually is?<br />
<br />
If I buy a printer, am I guaranteed one? or does a certain number have to be reached?<br />
<br />
Looks like a great machine<br />
<br />
