As what I knew last two years, Misumi Malaysia will not entertain any individuals, like hobbyists.
You will need to register a company/business to deal with them.
However, this is good to check their catalogue for the CAD drawings and availability of size in the market.

They are ok now. I got their latest catalog when I register as enduser. But the bad thing is there is no pricing for the things the display. you have to request for a quote every time. Anyway their parts are expensive.

For good deal, you can browse this Mudah seller account.
I think most of his items that put on sales was salvaged from industrial automation/equipment/machinery.

Here are the search results with "stepper motor" keyword.
So, you will get industrial-grade components to play around with. drool.gif flex.gif

Still better get from China supplier for that kind of price and have to check every part no for the spec. Too much work.

I believe those 2nd parts are still very good condition. I definitely will pick 1 or 2 if the price cheap enough.

But those 2nd stepper motor price are not cheap. Pay a bit more can get a new 1.  sad.gif

We don't know how long has these motor been running. It will be slightly degraded, bearing condition, etc.

Hi,

I have seen the term borosilicate glass used when referring to the heated bed for 3d printing.

A google search indicates that:

"Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with the main glass-forming constituents silica and boron oxide. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3 × 10−6 /°C at 20°C), making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass....."

Is it necessary to use this special glass or can I just use any glass from the "cermin/frame shop " ?

Where in KL/PJ/Klang can I buy a piece of this ?
*
I don't think its necessary for that kind of glass. The max temp that 3d printer with heated bed platform is 100 -115 C. For your info Heated bed is for ABS plastic filament. If you choose to print using PLA then its not necessary to use heated bed. The main reason using glass is just to get a good even platform.

So even an ikea photo frame glass is sufficient. Yu can get thicker glass from your Cermin/frame shop.

You can't even get the CO2 Laser tube module at a very affordable price. It Very Expensive.
That compressor, its a cooler for the laser tube module and dust blower for the collimator.

Hi guys, my motors are being held up by the custom. I don't think I'll be taxed for it but I guess I'll need to prepare some documentations. Is printing the page where I bought the product sufficient?

Who is the shipping Company?? Fedex??

So I should expect about 15% then?
Man, I still need to get extrusion and the electronics - are these taxable?
I use EMS. Does it make a difference?
*
Yes. Fedex will call you and tell you how much to pay. EMS you have to go to pos malaysia at LCCT to declare and pay and collect.

I got mine through Fedex last two week, no tax.
The supplier from China gave me the HS Code for stepper motor - 8501 10 9990
Checked through http://tariff.customs.gov.my
8501-10 is for motors of an output not exceeding 37.5Watt, no tax actually.
You only need to pay 15% if your motor is more than 1hp (750W), under the HS code of 8501-52-XXXX

Kastam check more on Normal parcel post than premium postage like fedex.

Kapton tape can withstand much higher temperature compare to tint paper.

For 2inch tape i got arrival stock next week.

The Max temp the platform can go is only 120C. The car tint has a higher temp resistant. In open source world its all about innovation and sharing. Car Tint film is Cheap and workable. thumbup.gif

Is the glass work same as kapton tape and car tint purpose?
*
No the purpose of the glass is more for surface flatness compared to aluminum plates. Kapton or Tint film is more for ABS plastic printing because ABS don't stick on the glass or aluminum surface. PLA plastic printing don't necessary require the kapton or tint film. It depend on which plastic filament you want to use on the printer. ABS or PLA. NOTE: you don't want your model to come off while printing.

Window tint paper is kind of PET, and off course it's definitely one kind of the solution la. smile.gif

But not any of the printer use low temp as ur printer does (like mine, to print ABS will had to chock up to 210C at least)

So my point of view is, Kapton tape is confirmed working solution which can withstand higher temperature, while tint paper is tested working but unsure of it's temperature withstand level

So if I print with ABS filament the bed side arrangement should be:

Kapton tape or car tint (Top)
Glass
Heat bed

If print with PLA filament:

Glass  (Top)
Heat bed

Do any of you have access to Misumi Webstore? I need to buy several stuff from them to complete my Kossel Mini but apparently they are not catering for personal customer. sigh..
My other option is to import from the US..again! where the shipping cost would be more than the item item itself.

Or better yet, does any of you have leftover 15by15 aluminuium extrusion?

You can get those locally. read back some to the post. There are a few supplier.
