Some pictures of the assembled MendelMax 1.5 3D Printer kit.
Electronics and wiring not done up yet in these pictures hence they are not visible.

Sorry guys, eBay takes away a huge chunk of the sales amount (12%) so I have stopped listing there.
I rather give buyers the 12% in a form of discount or freebies. Making RepRap affordable is the only way
for RepRap to keep growing in the open source space and slowly build an entry barrier for large organisations to
barge in. Once the big boys take over 3D Printing, we will be paying a fortune for the printers and consumables.

Saghir has got his kit and Branko's kit is the one on the left most below. Branko's kit will be picked up by Monday together with the other two.





International buyers please e-mail me directly at blomker@blomker.com
The website has Malaysian currency and it is for Malaysian order only. Trying to build up the Malaysian RepRap scene.

Is it simple assembly or does it require some soldering too?

I'm from malaysia.

Hi DeadPie,

Assembly is between easy to medium depending on individual's skill.
Minimal soldering is required.

You may refer to the build guide available at
http://blomker.com/BlomkerIndustries_MendelMax_BuildGuide.pdf to see how's the assembly like. I can guide you through if you face any problem.

E-mail me offline at blomker@blomker.com to discuss more.

Cheers

what is the max printing area?
October 14, 2012 03:41PM
Hi Blomker,

What is the max printing area?

Do I need to buy extra component in order to print a model (except ABS filament and my computer smiling smiley )? I found other 3D printer kit on ebay but they need to buy other components such as eletronics and motors.

Thanks,
Edward

Hello Ed & Lee,

You will have to get the local glass shop to cut a 200x200x3mm glass to be used as print surface.
Cover the glass with Kapton tape for printing with PLA & ABS.
Or, just cover it with blue painters tape if you are printing with PLA only. Blue painters tape is also known as masking tape which is light brown in colour. I don't ship the glass because it will most likely break/crack during shipping.

Also, get a AC power cord which fits your AC wall outlet. I am not able to source for all the different AC power cord to be included in the kit.
Those are the two things you need. Everything else is included. smiling smiley

Regards,
Bayer

The maximum printing area is 200x200x160mm (WxLxH). It is limited by the size of MK2 heat bed.
However, printing of PLA object does not require the heat bed and the print platform can be extended to a larger size.
Just relocate the limit switches and mount a larger piece of glass with some clips available from thingiverse.com

Probably I will post a guide on how to extend the print area for PLA printing.

Hi!
Is it possible to send the kit in two parts? The thing is i'm living in Ukraine and our customs system is a bit weird - if you order something for over 300 euros then you need to pay 40% tax, which in case of your kit would be 279 $. So the total amount will be 978$+shipping.

So can you divide the complete kit into two parts and sell each one for 350$?

Regards,
Vitaliy

Hi, Blomker,
Do you ship with black printed parts?
Is the Sanguinololu in the kit an ATmega1284P one? I ask because I would like to add the LCD with SD to the setup for autonomous printing and the 644P is said to have to little memory for that.
Is such setup possible?

Thank you,
Andrej

Re: what doing first for initializer axes and software

hello,

I just finish to complete assembling of my MendelMax 1,5 and and ask me how to initiallised the differents axes first and
principaly the z axes for be sure that the extruder cone is in good place. (I suppose the small space of the thinkness from a paper folder between the cone and the surface of the glass upon the bed heater).
How to translate this situation to prontefact ? thanks for your aswer.
Excuse my bad English wrinting but I am Belgianpeople in french speaking.smiling smiley

Thanks! I'm looking for a decent sub-$800 first 3D printer, and am debating between one of the RepRaps or the Solidoodle 2 pro. One of my hesitations with the Solidoodle 2 is I hear that filament jams at the extruder are very common and a pain to resolve. While I understand this will happen with any 3D printer, can anyone comment on the reliability of the MendelMax 1.5 if built correctly? Also, will this model at $699 work with ABS filament?

You can download his brochure and build instructions from the website. He provides all the settings for ABS and it does come with a heated bed so I'd say yes to ABS.

Good to know, thanks for the reply. The instructions appear to be well put together and very methodical. Can anyone offer an estimate to how long it would take for a 3D printer novice to build, program, and calibrate this kit? As a RC airplane/helicopter hobbyist, I do have experience building kits with moving parts, soldering, and working with electronics, so I can only assume these skills can translate to some extent. I'm looking for a kit that I can follow instructions, put together, go through the proper calibration procedures, and then start using it. I'd like the ability to tinker and expand upon later, but don't want something that I constantly need to maintain to keep working.

I think it took me 10-12 hours (or around) spread out over a few afternoons to build this kit.

I replaced the Wood bed support with a piece of G10, and am running a different main board that i had already. Other than that, it is pretty much stock. For the money this is a great kit. I've been printing with it for a few months now and have had no issues with the exception of the wood base.

My kit has been running along nicely. I'm still using the supplied MDF print bed and no issues. However, I did cover the print bed with an adhesive backed, automotive heat shield. I was seeing some backlash issues with the supplied T5 belts and pulleys so I upgraded to GT2 belts and pulleys (from Blomker). Backlash gone. I also had a couple issues with the X-carriage and extruder printed parts as they did not seem to be very good quality and appeared to be a different material (black ABS?) than the rest of the pieces (green PLA?). There was a little delamination of these parts and I easily broke a couple of the ears off the bearing holders on the X-carriage. Super-glue to the rescue. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the kit.

Do you offer the kit without electronics and power supply ? PM me with a price.
I got a RAMPS setup so I am not going to need those. Very nice kit anyway.

Blomker (and others),

Researching a MendelMax build and I was just reading a little on some listing cost troubles your finding with eBay and stuff. If you find value by freely listing/showcasing your bots, parts, and filament on 3dhacker.com please email me your registered username from the site. (Takes about 2 minutes and I just need to take off the anti-spam verification on usernames to keep the site "clean".)

The site is searchable by country/state and might give more exposure to your RepRaps.

Just an idea,

Andrew
