Hello, I m trying to find informations about these cheap sixth generation Prusas as I m willing to buy my first reprap.
For large printing areas here are the 3 cheapers :
[www.3dprintersonlinestore.com]
[www.3dprintersonlinestore.com]
[www.3dprintersonlinestore.com]
If I understand, you bought the first one with large build area expansion. Is it right ?
+200 $ crap-replacement items
It looks like you had a lots of problems for a "sixth" generation kit.. after 6 version they should be selling propper kits..
What about the MaxMicron versions ? aluminium kits ?
Thank you

Yes I m already glad having found this topic
So, I dont understand..
larger printing area is just about making the bed bigger ?
What about the electronic config ? I mean, does the brain not need to know he now have a bigger space to moove the extruder into ?

So this has come to a bad end.
After completing everything, the printer didn't work. When I tried to set coordinates for home etc. for the printer, it appears not all the motors operated properly. z axis jammed everytime, causing the motor to stutter and I had to unplug it.
The rip off outfit I purchased it from denies I ever contacted them regarding issues, and has accussed me of mail fraud when I tried to do a charge back after they denied a request for refund. They said it had to be returned exactly as it had been delivered, but since I had redrilled holes for mounting the Power supply and the heat bed, they will not accept the return.
When I went to American Express they claim I am trying to commit mail fraud and claim I am using the printer and tryig to get it for free.
At this point I have zero recourse for a resolution. These scam artists refuse to support their product and will not make it right, and I can't get a refund through buyer protection, so i'm out over 400.00 on this.
A word of warning again, DO NOT BUY FROM 3DPRINTERSONLINESTORE.COM, these guys are crooks and con men. They took my 400.00+ dollars, didn't provide a working product, and refused to make good on the sale.
I really wish I had spent the extra money and bought from a reputable dealer here in the states where I could have gotten help.

Ok, so I am back to working on this piece of junk after letting it sit for a couple months......
So I completed assembly, I was at testing stage. trying to Zero out the print head.
X-Axis was moving back and forth, but z-axis jammed. The Z-axis started to move, but then one side jammed, and the motor stuttered,
I mentioned this in a previous post.
Using the calipers I had used to make sure that both sides of the Z Axis screws were set equally before testing, I measured again,
and one side had moved, the other either had not moved at all, or enough slower than the other side for it to jam up on me.
Leads me to believe that one of the motors isn't working properly. Or the port on the motherboard doesn't work. No idea which
at the moment. At this point, I am assuming that my first course of action is to purchase 2 new motors for the Z-Axis so that I have matched
units, then try again, hoping that this moves me forward and I can use this rather pricey paperweight for what I bought it for.
Does this seem a logical conclusion? or does anyone have any other possible suggestions on this?
