when printing ABS I prefer uhu glue stick than acetone slurry, acetone slurry stick to your part (worst if your part are black and slurry are white ), for me uhu glue stick all the way never have a problem so far even with 32 hours straight print

If not mistaken, you are are referring to the Klean Strip brand. I am not sure if its is 100% Acetone or there are a few minor compounds mixed in it but the description on the back says its acetone. Smells genuine though since the kedai runcit ones smells like diesel or mixed turpentine.

Drillz here


Had that problem of using light colored and dark colored ABS slurry. I wonder if transparent color ABS will leave a stain.



Also If anyone need a large 20cm x ? feet kapton tape, can PM me... I sell for RM 5 a feet (12 inch)

I think it still leave some residue, with glue you can wash out the residue but with slurry it stick permanently on the part

why not from this guy?

trusted seller and cheaper. bought from him before. he has a few other chemicals too

UHU stick work also for me. The main purpose i buy is to try on finishing and cleaning purpose. I hate thinner smell.

Yes, this one.

If next time want to buy again will contact him.

Hi all the sifus.... I bought a set of iPrusa 3D printer and completed the hardware installation.

But I couldn't get it running because I didn't manage to install the driver and the program correctly.

I'm running Window 7 64 bit.

Anyone can help..?

Thanks in advance.

why can't you plug and unplug again to reinstall the driver?

are you sure about this?

I asked them yesterday, they said they dont have the 20x20 size. Have to custom make I was like Wtf? your factory is so huge you dont even have the standard profiles?

they even gave me this



what was the price they gave you for 6 meter?

Hi, I<3LYN

I can help you to get 20x20 Aluminium Profile & nuts. PM me your required lengths and quantities, I can deliver to you in Klang Valley.
Yes, that is the list price for 20ft / 6meter.

I got charged if im not mistaken 120-150 for the 6 meter 20 x 20. Im surprised they dont have it. I've bought it a couple years ago with them.

First Print




Now need to fix some minor Z banding issue and find out the appropriate acceleration and jerk settings.

weird they have a 25.4 which is a 1 inch X 1 inch or 1010 aluminium in US. They're exporting it to US?
However I think 2020 hardware might work on the 25.4X25.4mm. The Tnut gap dimensions are only slightly bigger than the normal 2020..

Nice, look like around 100 mm/s if not mistaken. I was wondering about the core XY progress.

I guess the hotend is running at 220+ DegC.

Today I tried PETG and I really like it since it came out as expected.

First print worked out well, just have some corner warping issues. The material is surprisingly really flexible.

If I would recommend a material I would suggest PETG for strong and resilient prints.

Drillz of first print and believe me the setup didn't take long since it is like printing with PLA and ABS combined.

I think it was 120mm/s. It was already slightly underextruding at the infill , the hobbed filament gear wasn't really good and begin to grind the filament. Probably need to look at thingiverse for some good bowden setup with a hobbed filament gear.

Progress is slow, trying to perfect the hardware, I've made 3 iteration, first it was direct drive, but it was taking up so much space that I was losing quite a bit of travel length. Then I tried to come up with some ways that the setup could be more space efficient with the direct drive method but wasn't really successful. So I went for a bowden setup at the end. Will try to make the gantry smaller after this so that it is more compact.

Yup PETG is good, I'm surprise the adoption isn't any faster, so much easier to work with, and don't really like the idea of breathing toxic fumes from printing ABS.

Have you tried reducing the layer resolution so the extrusion rate is slower without compromising print speed? You might reduce filament grinding with a slower extrusion speed.

The under extrusion could be due to filament quality as well, especially when PLA is left out for a long time.

As for PETG, it's likely the price and availability.

hey guys, recently got interested with 3D printings. where/whats the best way to start for newbies? also how much roughly do i need to start up with a decent print?

I have a Makerbot clone reprap kit I may be interested in selling. PM me for price.

You have to invest about 3k+ for a good set including consumables like filaments and other accessories.

Hi, I recently interested on 3D printing
However, those consumer/home 3d printer too expensive
Can you sifu, advice where can i start? should i build it my own or buy a kit from seller?
Saw many prusa i3 printer kit online until i confuse which one is a good printer kits
Sorry to ask so many question, since my friends dont own 3d printer

Update:
found this site, is this a good start up? since is original prusa

hey jack, you might want to look at TEVO Tarantula. From what i see its quite good for home/consumer level. Plus the Tarantula group on facebook is really helpfull with everything. you can also see all the results shared by the community there.

Thanks for suggestion, i saw it at AliExpress & will look into it.
I wonder how much i get taxed if i buy from AliExpress, never buy item from oversea before
