Continuing a print - 8 years ago

How cold was it today? The raft disconnected from the bed (covered by masking tape). Had the brilliant idea to glue the raft back to the bed (fairly simple with some CA). That was the easy part. The harder part turned out to continue printing. Made a few attempts to manipulate the G-code, but was unsuccessful. Finally just re-sliced it in Cura with 1st layer height at 1.2mm. Print start

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

Could it be because of a power out or spike?

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

News flash! So I looked around and I found someone in the EU selling the Wanhao i3 for less then 400EURO (closer to 300 without EU VAT) and less then 100Euro shipping. It comes with the MK10 extruder - is it any good? also they have a refurbished one for 20% off and only 6 months warrenty - how about it?

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

The Wan Hao does look nice, but you have to consider the price, 390$ for the printer 250$ for shipping (give or take) +17% VAT +100$ commision to the local shipping company (don't ask) = ~850$ Is the Wan Hao worth 850$? In the event the customs won't confiscate the power adapter (which they very much like doing). P.S. Just checked, they now sell the V2 and don't offer shipping outside the USA

I have a lot of tools, I have basic wood-working skills, I can solder (although it always comes wrong and I melt everything :/ I don't have a workshop/garage, I can used the dinning room table to build and I have a small bench (25*60) I can use and have a vice mounted on it. Not wanting to waste your time (J-Max) I gave this a thought over the weekend and I think it'll be best to buy a ready 3

QuoteJ-Max Hi, The XL is better. Feel free to pay twice the price of my seccond link for a worst kit. Your money, your printer. ++JM Funny thing, The kit you recommended costs 650$ (with shipping, before tax) and the kit from build23dprinter costs 600Euro (with shipping, before tax) this has linear bearings, 2020 profies, but small print area and RAMPS... BTW, regarding the folgertech

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

So... this: or this: Or is there a better kit?

by noogie - Prusa i3 and variants

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

OK! After some research, I think I'll get a delta printer, question is, which? Kossel (Mini? XL?) Folger Tech? Sintron? I'm inclined to go with a Kossel mini with Duet electronics (rather then an XL with ramps), but am more then willing to hear other opinions!

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

J-Max, So I've Looked into your recommendations and I think the Printrbor and Mini Fabrikator are rather small, which is nice on it's own The WanHao is a fancy i3 basically, which is nice, but other then having a more rigid frame and coming assembled, mechanically speaking, what makes it better then buying an i3 kit and a steel frame? also, any thoughts on delta printers?

QuoteJ-Max Hi, As you're talking about Hephestos, I guess you want a good printer, but you probably did not save enough money to buy a good kit. And you ask yourself if a cheap kit can be a good start. The awnser is probably no. If I wanted to spend a 1000$+ on the start I wouldn't be here But I am looking for a good kit to start with. I think this thread can be moved elsewhere since it no

Re: Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

Had a "Conversation" with my wife yesterday... I need your recommendation for a cheap printer that wouldn't require as much work on as a kit ,she fears I'll be frustrated quickly if something doesn't work and the printer will just take up space and collect dust until the end of times

Prusa I3 - Kit purchase and upgrade? - 9 years ago

Hi! I've decided to buy a 3d printer (on a budget) and the Prusa I3 caught my eye. Thing is, many of the kits are not available to me (shipping constraints, and/or price due to shipping cost and taxes), So my question is: Can I buy a simple kit from eBay and buy parts to upgrade it to "Hephestos" (for example)?
