Re: RUG/Australia/Sydney - 8 years ago
Hi, I'm Eddie. I live on the Northern Beaches in Sydney. I ordered a Kossel Mini kit from Think 3D Print 3D. While I wait for it to arrive I'm wondering where is the best place to buy filament from. Price is obviously something to consider, but I've heard of cheap filament that doesn't print well or cracks afterwards. Which Australian suppliers do people recommend? I also fly FPV quadcopters iby rogueqd - Australia, Sydney RUG

QuoteTrisIt may make it better OR worse, it's all about the resonant frequency of the frame vs how fast the effector is oscillating... Corner braces would certainly improve rigidity. There's already a good design on Thingiverse for such a brace: Ok, I get it. I'm not an engineer, but the resonant frequency will come from how springy the frame is, right? Nice to see the brace, so I was on the rby rogueqd - Delta Machines

QuoteTris Yes, I designed the spool holder myself! I wanted to make use of the otherwise wasted space at the top. The design is a bit weak where it attaches through the lid but I designed it around some bearings I already had, i.e. cheap! I have noticed the effects of "frame wobble", it mostly shows up when the extruder changes direction suddenly, like at a 90 degree corner. The result is a "riby rogueqd - Delta Machines

QuoteTris I bought a set of printed parts, rails to wheels conversion kit and the extruder spur gear from builda3dprinter.eu early last year and everything I received from them was high quality: A photo of my printer is on their showcase page (Tristan's Kossel UK): Thanks Tristan. I like the way you've mounted the filament reel at the top did you design that yourself? After more research I'by rogueqd - Delta Machines

I'm looking at buying a Kossel as my first printer. I'd already decided not to buy from MakerGeeks afrer seeing the youtube video. I found this site that looks good (looks dont count for much) and my emails have been responded to quickly and helpfully. Does anyone have any experience with them? Any other comments would be helpful too. I have some previous Arduino and multicopter building exby rogueqd - Delta Machines
