PM - stealing talent mode on

Heya guys ! i am new here and looking forward to own a 3D printer xD.. was wondering if anyone could tell me if Prusa i3 is buildable in malaysia :s? currently worrying that i might not be able to locate any of the items below:

PG35L Geared stepper
Mini hyena
GT2 timing belt 2mm
GT2 pulleys
Heatbed
J-Head (found some online.. looking for local shops)
NEMA17 steppers (found some online.. also looking for local shops if possible)
LM8uu Linear bearing (found lead of a shop selling bears.. not sure if its cheap and if they carry these type of bearings >_<)
608zz

(All the M10, M8, M4, M3 nuts and bolts seems scary that one of them might not be able to get from here :<)
(M5 & M10 threaded rod, M8 smooth rod) - currently looking for some source around kuchai lama >_<~

:s.. planning to have someone print out some of the plastic parts
which can be located here :
http://reprapmagazine.com/ (Magazine Issue 2) pg. 67
if someone could offer me their service while quoting me the total price to do it, i'd be glad xD..

and finally planning to laser cut the aluminium frames and was wondering about the cost :s.. and without confirmation of the above items availability in malaysia, i may have to rethink my plans to creating a Pursa i3 >_<

Some parts not so understand. Those pulley, timing belt linear bearing, bearing and all the M screw&nut can get it locally.

Hi, @X3nz
I have the plan to build Prusa i3 too. Are you interested to share the shipping cost for some parts from oversea?
Like stepper motors, hot ends, extruder, electronics board...
Others parts could be found easily in local. BTW, no one will do the laser cutting on Aluminium plates, due to the poor finishing at all edges. Aluminium plates are normally machined by CNC mill, which incurred higher cost for small quantity.

Just build your structure with extrusion profile. Its cheaper than laser cutting parts. Those nuts & bolts can be easily source from nut & bold supplier and super cheap. The linear bearings, metal rods.. etc are easily source locally.

these parts are better bought from ebay as it cheaper than local.
PG35L Geared stepper
Mini hyena
GT2 timing belt 2mm
GT2 pulleys
Heatbed
J-Head (found some online.. looking for local shops)
NEMA17 steppers (found some online.. also looking for local shops if possible)

PM me if you have difficulty.

hey guys ! thanks for the quick replies !

Thanks for confirming this!
Is it possible to list down some of the locations through google map xD?
I'd be able to find them that way >_<..

Yes!! i am interested in buying some of the parts but i am not experienced in this and currently not sure what is needed and what is cheaper to get from overseas also would like to know if you'd have a budget for this :>?
Do you have skype :>? maybe we can continue our discussion there and pricing, links and others xD! able to exchange notes too if possible ! Pm me your skype yah!

i also read some thread saying aluminium cuts are usually done with water jet thingy.. >_<.. but i am being drove to the corner currently haha.. so kinda finding some options for the simple metal polished frame :<..
what are you planning to do with the frame :S?

heya! i currently have no experience in this >_<;; so i thought of following 100% with a guide would probably help me building my first 3d printer~ that way i can mix match in the future >_<;.. do you have any source on what type of extrusion build that fits prusa i3? :S some bill of materials and guide on build is appreciated >_<!

i couldn't find any of the stuff on ebay >_<;; and some i found doesn't ship to malaysia T.T~ and the shipping itself is more than the item T.T! this is really discouraging but i ain't giving up!!~~ i'll try to research more on this!
thanks for the tip! if all else fails i'll contact you xD!.. thanks!

Woot!!

Didn't know LYN got 3D printing thread!!
Interested with these few years ago, but KIVed it when I didn't know where to start with those early self replicating machines like RepRaps..
Will keep an out for this thread from now on..


Probably will have lots of questions for the Gurus!!

hey, i'm building prusa i3 too! I got the all the parts already but haven't had the time to finish the build .
For frame, I got it laser cut locally. The edges turns out not so bad and after some sanding and polishing it looks and feels great.

Another place to look for parts is aliexpress. For example I bought stepper motors from here

If you want some GT2 pulleys and 12v pcb heatbed, I got some extra here willing to sell for cheap.

Heya! where are you from ?! is it possible to meet up withcha xD.. i don't mind offering myself to help building your 3d printer haha! getting first hand experiences ^^!

Plus i wanna know how much would you sell the pulleys and heatbed to me for :S! msg me yeah !

Apparently hobbed pulley are very expensive only @_@... anyone have cheaper solutions? lol..

Sorry it's not me. I don't have problem if built 1.

You can get most of this parts at puchong. Just hit to old klang road and use old puchong road.

For gear and belt etc - Bangkok belt and drive, Taman kinrara, jln TK1/11A.
For screw etc - pusat perindustrian puchong jalan tpp 1/1 or 1/10. There is 3 shop selling bolt n nut.
For lineat bearing, bearing and what ever bearing - Speedy at puchong jaya, jln kenari 23a.

There is still many shop in others place. But scattered quite far distance around KL and PJ. So puchong is the best.

Okay! Thanks for the tip! ! bought a bunch lol.. but still unable to find any hyena filament drive >_<.. darn..

You have to tell me what is that. Any picture?

I believe you mean filament extruder.

filament extruder is the whole structure. To be exact, this is the filament driver:

Understand now. Thanks. Normally I call this feeder unit. It use to feed anything that come in a wire form.

Can just use 2 gear, bearing, mechanical part and spring. Gear not neccessary to be modify. But the gear teeth must be small. Either 0.5 or max 0.8.

This 3D printer is getting me interesting into to built 1. But short of knowledge at the controller side.

Is there a real demo unit to see in here?

u were talking to...?

Sorry.

To anybody who need infor. Or can help me.

Has anyone check out these printers model from a Malaysian company called Designex3d?

www.designex3d.com

They are selling very affordable 3D printers that can self DIY.

i wonder anyone here heard about this ? can comment please?

I just found it few days ago in meet up.com
