I have a couple questions for your orballo builds. For the x axis idler adjustment, did you have to use 2 623 bearings in the plastic pieces? One seems too lose for me and two won't fit without some filing down.

The other question is the end stops don't fit at all. Anyone have a source for some holders that actually fit properly?

I have a question for you guys. When making a flat surface as I was printing a larger X-axis part, the second layer had this weird pattern in about 70% of the areas while the remaining 30% had a impeccably smooth surface. Is it a heatbed temperature problem, or Z axis too low, or feed rate thing maybe? What do you think....? The next layer after that looked perfect though....

Could it be the extruder nozzle tip dragging on the previous layer and melting it a little. I think that can be caused by slight over extrusion (so the layer will be slightly higher than it should be and the next layer will dig in slightly). ? Try checking the extruder and Z axis e-steps are right, and that your slicer is set to the right nozzle/filament width.

Was disappointed yet again when receiving replacement/missing parts, as one of the parts requested were missing, and even the compensation fans I was offered weren't in the package. Two and a half months since ordering and I still don't have all parts. Going to get the rest myself now. Can't recommend ordering from there.

same for me.... I just received the piece yesterday... and it's look like a joke
I had 2 pinions (it was missing..), and a end stop holder (don't need).... but not the missing frame part.... and a candy bag...... really ???
if you want to try your luck, try to buy something from orballo, if you get it you're a really lucky person.....

There's these guys (in US) with steel frame, though I have not ordered from them: [www.makerfront.com]
They also have 200x300 frame (XL size).
The frame is nicely painted and has less plastic parts than others.
But you can't order it separately from the rest of the printer.
I did myself order from KitPrinter3d (it's in Spain, and I'm in US).
I had great communication from them (they answered questions promptly) and they shipped it as soon as it was back in stock.
However, after shipping, because of their or shipment company mess up and miscommunication, printer got stuck in customs, and now US customs wants 500$ of fee to get it from there (kit spent there over a month).
kitprinter3d doesn't handle the situation well at all.
Other than this "minor" issue, they do have the kit very configurable (including good hotends like e3d v6 and others), and it might so happen that if I finally get the kit, it will be in a good shape with no missing parts.
They also have 200x300 frame (XL size).

So what was the customs outcome??
I ordered a kit from HTA3D,, (I am in the USA) they shipped within 2 days, it left Spain in 2 days, USPS shows the tracking number as "received notice"
But it has been stuck in limbo for almost 2 weeks,, Left Spain, but not in the USA,, I am told something about EEUU customs,,, ???

They sent it to me via TNT, and that got to LA in two days and then is stuck there for a month. I did pay the fee myself, and we discussed with them that they will reimburse half to me themselves, and the rest when they get money from TNT (who is supposedly at fault).
Well, the printer has arrived (though I did not look at it yet), but they refuse to reimburse me any money w/o seeing invoice from TNT (which TNT is supposed to mail to me, but I haven't received it yet).
Obviously, I should have just refused to pay, but for some reason I decided to give these guys a chance as there was good communication and even as small discount from them at the beginning of this.
If I were you, I'd call these HTA3d guys and shipping company (USPS in this case?) over the phone to figure everything out quicker )
