That happens, also stamps don't stick to sellotape either, they use a new supplier and the stamps are not as sticky and even if you take in proof of postage they don't refund if the stamp has fallen off Inquisitor Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I was wondering. > > I shopped around every website I could find before > I decided to get my Huxley fromby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group

What layer height are you using. It sounds like the layers aren't sticking together properly. Does the print stay flat on the bed with just the top curling? And is this with PLA or ABS?by NelsonRap - Reprappers

Or you can rotate the .stl file with netfabb basic if using windows. This is a very useful peice of software as it can mend broken mesh in poorly executed drawings as well as orientate objects. On the calibrating I found by removing my nozzle and then doing the 100mm measurement test I could get it really accurate, then put the nozzle back on and double check, it saves wasting sooo much fillamenby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group

I don't think it makes much difference, so long as everything is equal, true and parallel. I got really anal when I built mine to make sure it was perfectby NelsonRap - Reprappers

Re: NZ Reprap Parts Sourcing guide - 10 years ago
I make up the sanguino boards from scratch AND test them, I lengthen the wires on the motors, I make up the end stops, I make the heated beds from scratch, I clean up my printed parts and make sure the bolts go through the holes, I make sure the nuts go onto the threaded rod where I cut it, I wrote assembly instructions with pictures and videos (instructions are a PDF and have been hanby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Re: NZ Reprap Parts Sourcing guide - 10 years ago
I have told all of my customers that they could do it themselves for half the amount and they still bought. I give them the option if they ask me and all of the kits I sold preferred for me to do the hard yakka for them, so I don't see what your problem is and just like any business I have a income to earn or are you one of these people that go to the shops and expect them to sell to you at costby NelsonRap - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Re: BOM for mendel prusa? - 10 years ago

Re: Selling reprap kit questions - 10 years ago
In New Zealand I have sold about 40 sets of Prusa plastics. Prusa is the easiest kit as it's fairly simple most parts are available locally over the counter although not all. I have used PLA and my own machines are all PLA and so far have had no problems Have also sold about 8 full Prusa kits, only one has been back and that was because the client couldn't get printrun to work on WIndows Vistaby NelsonRap - General

Re: BOM for mendel prusa? - 10 years ago
I use these here as they are good and don't have the thermal cut out that some do, the heated bed kills the ones with thermal cut out and they are a good price too. How to convert it here I don't have anything to do with the electronics though my step son does them for meby NelsonRap - General
