@XYZM In the Geeetech forums people have asked about getting the new extruder/hot end but they are not selling it yet.

Re: My first printer Geeetech i3 Pro (review so far) - 10 years ago

I got the 1Kg ABS of PLA reel as well and I don't have the "B". From the geeetech site the difference is "I3 pro B features newly added potential for 3D prints—support 5 types of filament: ABS, PLA, Wood, Nylon, flexible PLA and filament, create flexible hinges, joints, shaped parts; enable you to get the most out of your 3D Printer.". I assume that means a different hot end and/or extruder but t

QuoteAndrewBCN BTW the firmware in the printer can be Repetier or Marlin, but not repeater. And the software on the PC is called Repetier-host or another software Pronterface. Interesting review but it would be very much enhanced if you added some pictures. I'll get some pics up this weekend.

Re: i3 kit or source partd - 10 years ago

QuoteAndrewBCN Buying a 3d printer kit on eBay or AliExpress is a gamble, really, and often results in a big disappointment. I suggest you consider bassnfool's suggestion if you live in the US, the Wilson kit is sold by its designer, Marty Rice, and you get a quality kit with great support for a very good price. If you live in Europe there are other options, but again always try to buy from a re

Quotekingnyx Would you mind sharing how you got all the software and calibrations done and what you used for your config.h? When I get home tonight I'll grab the info for you from the config file. As for the software I am using the software supplied from Geeetech (Geetech I3 Pro Docs right under the "Install Software" header). For the most part I am using everything in the default settings.I hav

Re: i3 kit or source partd - 10 years ago

I'm really new to all this so I went with a kit. I think you can get a better price sourcing the parts but it all comes down to how much risk you are willing to take on. I was willing to deal with cheap parts but not incompatibility. Not to mention that kits are really convenient. I got the Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro and it is really cheap (both cost and quality). I really don't mind the issues tha

My first printer Geeetech i3 Pro (review so far) - 10 years ago

I wanted to share this incase others are looking at this printer. I took a chance and ordered the Geetech Prusa i3 Pro (not the “B” version) and got just what I expected. A complete 3D printer kit with most everything to get up and running. I wanted a kit to remove the possibility of mismatched parts and incompatible electronics. For the most part I got what I wanted. Some of the parts were reall
