Hi, thanks for the kind words. IndieGoGo is just a start whilst I complete the website and testing. I will offer a kit without the electronics soon but just needed to get the word out. I do like the reprap and respect everyone in the reprap community for what they have done and will continue to do. I could have produced kits, for say the mendel, but decided a while ago that the bigger challengby progomez - For Sale
I suggest you wait to see the videos and site which is being designed to give you a better idea of the quality of the product.by progomez - For Sale
Hi Bas, still finalising shipping costs. Getting quotes. richardby progomez - For Sale
Hopefully the site will be up in the next few days. The lcd is used at the moment for displaying temp etc. Sd card support will be added later as wasnt viable for the price. Thats not to say that owners of the kit cant add it themselves as the ramps board has the pins for it.by progomez - For Sale
Just a picture to give a better idea of what I am going to be offering shortly. As I said before it uses four nema 17s, three for the axis and one for the extruder. It has linear bearings on all axis with t2.5 belts on the x and y and trapezoidal spindle on the z. It is built using 18mm mdf and is held together with m6 allen key bolts. This makes it solid enough to use with a dremel for makingby progomez - For Sale
Hello, an update: As stated before I am testing a simple extruder but am now waiting for some more 1.75mm filament. If I were to use a wade extruder and standard hotend I could open prorders this week but feel that a simpler extruder design would be better for the wider market. Any thoughts? The one Im working on is a direct feed carriage mounted extruder. I did think of using a bowden designby progomez - For Sale
An update: I am just testing the new extruder at the moment. I was slightly delayed whilst waiting for parts but am nearing a completed £299 design. The machine is quite solid and will probably, as originally thought, be able to mill pcbs(with a dremel flexishaft). I will be posting pictures and video soon along with preorder details,4-6 weeks as made to order in batches, in the next week. Aby progomez - For Sale
You are correct. I will probably use Paypal for ease of use. Pricing up delivery companies at the moment as will be using a signed for service for added protection. I am still considering doing a non electronics and motor set (including extruder and hot end though)which may be better for international customers. Motors are quite heavy. One iteration I am also considering is doing a fully buiby progomez - For Sale
It will be using a carriage mounted extruder as this is tried and tested with minimal problems. People will be able to change out the extruder for other heads, for example a dremel flexishaft, or a dual bowden extruder. I just want to get the standard kit in good quality at an affordable price.by progomez - For Sale
Its coming along as planned. Just making sure its a quality product. In regards a larger build area, my main aim is to make something which is large enough to be useful but small enough to sit on a computer table, maybe in a living room. You could use this to build a mendal for when you need a bigger build area. The only extra outlay would be the cost of the metal frame with the idea of utilisby progomez - For Sale

No it will use standard ramps for the first iteration. Easier for the end user to change or upgrade.by progomez - For Sale
Thanks. Its coming together well. trying to see if I can add a lcd and sd reader at the price as I would really like standalone printing. Im thinking at the minimum to add a built in lcd into the design. Im still looking at an April unveiling.by progomez - For Sale

£300 is the price Im aiming for and by my sums will be doable. I wouldnt feel right making a massive markup on time and knowledge given free, but feel it should be possible to put one on most desks. My idea is that maybe a family member buys one and then uses it either to make a bigger machine, ie mendel, or a machine for other friends or family. I think its the extruder technology that needsby progomez - For Sale
Hi, if this is the wrong forum then please move it. I am someone who has for many years been interested in cnc which recently lead me to reprap. I am in the process of finishing the design of a reprap type of machine which will be similar to the makerbot/ultimaker which Im planning to sell as a kit for £299+P&P. It will have linear bearings on all axis and ramps electronics. The axis are pby progomez - For Sale
