yes i got reprap.

when i first start to use it, honestly it's NOT EASY to use
Calibration is the most headache part among the job

you need to calibrate alot of things +

for Printing ABS, it;s awlays recommend to print on heated bed. if not...

Replicator 2 is made by makerbot. I'm looking to enhance my unit into a larger format and to dual nozzle

tweaking up the machine actually train up my EQ too

starter package?
u mean starter kit with all the hardware and vitamins etc?

herm.. then starter kit it is i believe...

Too busy recently or else i will produce some kits as well. Since i have extra electronic kit and servo motors

Do you guys thing PBT is printable by this machine?
the melting point of PBT is around 180C and i able to source Resins for PBT clear.

Have an idea to create some PBT filament and put into my machine to see if it can prints PBT

so you are the starter? joined

It's quite slow for the 3D printing to get more publicity in Malaysia.
Not easy to source part is one of the main challenges over here.

Erm, not really see a point to start a hackerspace in Malaysia yet... imo

this one adapt the heat glue gun's concept. It extrude plastic same as most 3d printer does

3mm Filament ABS & PLA arriving Early march
Navy blue,
White,
Black,
Pink,
Red,
Orange,
Toxic Green,
Yellow,
Grey
and Clear
Anyone who interested, pls pm

i doubt so. they "Expect" it to be come.
looking for CNC machines, the most basic and smallest available for Enterprise/industrial usage still cost more than 3K usd per unit.

so...Now Where are the guys who said CNC machine will below Sub 2K at the time?

no

makerbot 2x is a dual nozzle, dual color printer. Most 3D printers needs calibration/advise to calibrate. But honestly i never use makerbot, so i not sure about it.

Yes, current MKBs are came prebuilt

most Reprap based 3d printer has small printing size. 20 cubic centimeters is the standard maximum output of the repraps.

from the link provided, it looks like a Lasered Wood base machine. Well, IMO i won't recommend that as Wood is lower in durability as it would got crack much easier than ABS based plastic (off course, if harder wood is used, it will even stronger than any plastic!)

refer to your question:
1. No, 3D printer is not taxable

2. I sell/distribute them in Malaysia (only 3mm available at the moment )

Electronic wise, if you are refer to adruino Electronic Gen 1~3, yes i think u can diy locally.

for software, there are quite many open source one.
Most importantly, you need to find one to supply you the printed parts and the vitamins

Well, my assumption was made by refer to the URL previously given and compare the plastic vs wood base on physic calculation. Also as i stated earlier, base on the wood type used, the quality will be different.

But can't deny that Wood body looks good compare to my prusas

Newest Electronic now in the market is GEN 7, and is Adruino IDE 2.1 Compatible. Personally won't recommend to DIY the electronic after Gen 3 la, as the equipment needed to build one quite costly. (Unless you thinking to go mass produce the electronics la )

While Gen3 can be build even on a b.board.

That's just my comment la. I custom build Gen 1 before. Quite easy to make and ALL parts can b found locally.
