any idea how much this local 3d printers would cost?

Yep! Sorry xD.. still trying to grabs the terminologies ..

nice gear @@! where do you get that? xD and how much is it? :S..


not sure if there is any demo leh~_~.. looking for guidance in terms of code wise oso.. haha~ currently installed marlin on board.. no real machine to test out yet ..


thats a nice aluminum frame.. i planned to do that in the future but still scouting for that specific frame !!
their price would probably be high ! rm2k++? guesstimating xD

Doing so much 3d printing calculation lead me to guesstimate alot of things nowadays.. cant follow one straight up tutorial.. had to go a huge round to get things done .. hopefully everything will pay off when everything reach me !

planning to do the hobbed gear in the near future

Hei, Thanks for your guidance. But I m getting confuse now. It is like open up a cans of mass knowledge. And I need to slowly read and combine your explanation to understand.

There is so many technical term on this controller board and firmware. The more I read, the more I confuse and more question I need to ask. I m still reading it and start from reprap.org.

Do you have some website for me to read that for beginner?

I will PM you the flow chart later.

Reprap based will cost you the least.
Brand like Stratasys 3DP will cost you much higher. depend on what your budget is

i don't own the picture, i jus borrow it from some one.

if i weren't wrong, we can find the same gear locally, you need to do some customization on it

Hi guys, I intend to print a part that has some fine detail, at the order of 0.1mm. Do you know who or which company is capable in printing such part?

0.1mm? extruded printing very hard to achieve that detail level. only way is SLA printings

I suppose so that it's hard to achieve with extruded printing. Any recommended company that do SLA printing in Malaysia?

unless your product is very high in value which worth the prototyping. If you hope to look for a home printer like us, i dont think there is any

What is the smallest detail a home printer could make anyway? I could adjust my model somehow.

i mean, i don't know about other geeks, but for myself, i'm building a SLA unit myself, but the building cost is expected more than 10K.

if you ask me to prototype a product with my machine say 10c.m square object, that will definitely cost you few hundreds of ringgit.

For the professional prototype company, they'll definitely charge you much expensive

You could try http://prototype.asia/ from Singapore.

Okay. I want to know how detail can a home printer achieve anyway. I'll probably have to resort to look for home printer, adjusting my model to fit the requirement. Can a home printer print details at 0.5mm resolution confidently?

0.5mm should b fine. Any printer can do it well

Possible for any lower?

max at .3

That's for X and Y? Or Z?

by the way, why do you need such a small thickness? imho, that will not be strong enough for normal application except for visual purpose.

the 0.3mm is not thickness. it is to define how detail a print out is.
if one print out is holo, then yes it's pretty fragile.

but like one of my prototype which is ABS solid 5mm custom made tube, i believe you need to hammer it to break it
