Well, Finally received my package. Items broken, stuff missing...... Some printed parts of the machine turn out to look completely different from the construction guides I have found on the web.. Will mail the seller, because this is not cool. Especially 2 big parts are missing.. X-end motor parts where the pins run through are missing. Blargh I took the day off to put it all together but now itby Ohmarinus - General
Alright, I received the message that the package will be in my possession tomorrow-afternoon. Problem #1 - The building instructions I have received with the kit are obscure to say the least. Ofcourse I didn't expect any superduper quality guides on building it, but the images and PDF file are not enough to help me out sad enough. Also one thing I don't understand is that I am told to use a relby Ohmarinus - General
Yeah I will videotape it, because indeed, not much to find on the machine and it can be much better! I have a good definition camera and also have a nice audio recorder so I can record all kind of things. I have been thinking of tilting my design for the cubes on their side, so that the 'floating' cube will touch the ground with one corner. Maybe I can minimalize support structure for it that waby Ohmarinus - General
Haha, I actually did the same yesterday in my 3D program, I lowered the cube because I myself also thought that it would cost too much material for the support. Also, in Repetier it says '2:30' printing time, is that in minutes? I don't expect the print to take an hour, but I also don't expect the print to be done in 2.30 minutes. Seems wrong. Wednesday I get the Air SXL, it's a modified Air wby Ohmarinus - General
Planning to use 3mm ABSby Ohmarinus - General
True true, though I am studying Architecture on a very good Art Academy in Holland and would like to have the option of making parts for a design or scale model that is bigger than the 200x200x100 dimensions in any way imaginable. If I would do that, it won't be solid objects ofcourse, I understand the capabilities of such a machine to a certain extent. This will include trying to print wire-frby Ohmarinus - General
Thanks for your reply, I've also thought about more height, and it may be a problem in case of shrinkage.. Anyway, I ordered it and will receive it next week tuesday/wednesdayby Ohmarinus - General
Did I maybe ask the question in a wrong topic, or is there an abundance of 'n00b' questions here? I'm sorry if my topic/question is maybe repetitive or not that interesting I have decided upon getting the Air SXL, which the seller told me is the Air 2, but higher, made with Acrylic. It has a 200x200mm base plate and 160mm Z-axis (thats the height right?) and uses an MKII hot plate. Will post sby Ohmarinus - General
Hi guys, I'm new here, and going to buy a RepRap, really love the models.. My question is, I can buy the premade parts from a guy here in Holland, and he is offering a few different models, as you can see here: I am now going towards buying the Prusa Air 'SXL' since it has 200x200x160mm print space instead of the 200x200x100mm for the original Prusa Mendel and Air 2. Do you guys really miss tby Ohmarinus - General
