Hello,

I'm thinking about to build an own printer and looking for parts.
I found a kit on Aliexpress for a good price.

Is it a reliable seller?
Does anybody have experiences with him?

I have bought many things from reprapdiscount and found them to be very good with both price, service and postage.
Not sure if this is the same guy, but he has the same name.
Why not get from reprapdiscount on ebay and then you will be sure.

Just check the steppers are wired in the right way around. Mine weren't and they smoked - he replaced them but caused delays.

I found quality in China can be much better than north america or europe.

All depends who your dealing with.

You will find most of the motors sold in Europe and usa are resellers so getting them straight from China not a prob but find longer postage times
