I am printing my first object with your filament now No time to test it until today

No picture no talk! Please do share with us what you're printing

Printing the single wall calibration at 0.2mm.



It was printed at 190 Degree Celsius, not sure it is the best temperature though. Overall, the filament is in good quality, the width is around 1.72-1.74mm. No problem stick on the hot bed, I tested with brim and without brim.

Hopefully you guys can start a base in Malaysia, so that the shipping cost could be further reduce

Is your flickr set to private? It's not viewable to me. Nevertheless thank you for your vote of confidence, much appreciated.

We operate in both Singapore and Johor, and intend to go big on Malaysia. Reducing the cost of handling and shipping in spite of the high weight is one of our top priorities for Malaysia, so stay tuned.

That said, we are open to suggestions if anyone knows of any affordable and reliable courier service for domestic Malaysia. We are very involved with 3D printing communities and do listen suggestions and feedback.

In fact we have just launched an ABS Testers Program, due to feedback from our customers who wish to use ABS. One interested party is even from Japan.

If anybody wishes to be part of the program (you will have to pay for domestic shipping), do let us know by emailing sales@qwikfab.com and do mention that you are from Malaysia. The discounts on our QwikFab PLA Filament will be available to you as well.

It really depends on your luck, and most of the time is no.

Thanks for the reply hope my luck is good when the kit arrive

Hey guys, just thought I put up some recent pictures uploaded on our facebook page.

Hi everyone, I didn't know this topic existed under my nose all this time until I did a recent search.

Since there are Repraps in Malaysia & Singapore, I am now trying to compile a list of distributors or outlets that provide parts for Repraps in Malaysia and Singapore, the non-printed bits like ball bearings, GT2 belting, linear rods, Arduino, and etc. So if anyone knows a place or two to get these parts at affordable prices, please do share with us in this topic.

In case anyone need Reprep parts, especially the printed plastic bits, I am starting a 3D printing service for Reprap parts once I get my 3D printer by end of April. Please do PM me for 3D printing pricing and etc. My prices are affordable and I charge on a base price + material per gram.

If you need assistance in troubleshooting Reprap printing issues, I am the guy to ask since I have been tinkering and maintaining several reprap for at least a year. PM me for advice.

Cheers.

Hi, guys

What do you think this 3d-printer from Malaysia? Is RM6,900 worth?

Malaysia's first 3D printer maker targeting 1,000 units per month production

(via 3ders.org)

VAGLER International, a Swedish-Malaysian 3D printer manufacturer has just launched its online shop for Malaysia and Singapore markets.

Founded in Malaysia in 2011, VAGLER International Sdn. Bhd. is the country's first 3D printers manufacturer. VAGLER International is wholly owned by Sweden-based VAGLER AB, which has over 40 years of experience in the plastics manufacturing industry.

VAGLER is selling three 3D printers: V-811, V-821 and V-822, which are fairly similar with some differences in terms of build volume and few features.

The VAGLER 3D printer has powder coated steel frame and comes bundled with VAGLER's Sapphire software. It features 50 microns (0.05mm) resolution and 30 - 130mm per second print speed. The entry-level desktop 3D printer V-811 has a build volume of 270 x 200 x 250 mm / 10.62 x 7.87 x 9.84 inches and is priced at €1,500 / $2,100. The largest version V-822 comes with two print heads and has a price of €2,000 / $2,700.

The manufacturer produces not only 3D printers but also its own filament, as well as 3D scanners. VAGLER claims that its facilities have a production capacity of 500 units per month and plans to add some extra line this fall to increase production to 1,000 units a month. The company currently sell 3D printer only to Malaysia and Singapore, but will reach stores in Europe and U.S. later this year.

It seems that the manufacturing of high end industrial sets of 3D printers have finally arrived at Malaysia shores. These things are supposed to be catered to the general public but the price tag seem to be aimed for industries and education centers as the price tag suggested is considered miniscule to them. It was probably design to compete with Makerbot as the specs claimed to be way better than Makerbot Replicator 2. Although the 50 micron layer resolution is a bit of an overstatement as most general prints works fine at 100 microns while saving half the time spent printing. Its better than Makerbot Replicator 2 in terms of build volume but the space efficiency isn't that great while the printer outer dimensions suggest its not very desktop friendly either.

It obviously doesn't look open source from the closed box design and unknown propriety electronics used in that printer. Normally with any non open source devices, these things tend to me a lot more pricier when it comes to keeping it maintained and especially when it breaks down as you cannot fix it on the spot without voiding the warranty. Besides, owning one of these means having to be tied to the company just for the replacement parts and repairs.

Anyway its too soon to judge the printer and company service performance solely on prints made by a single unit, I will just wait it out and look into reviews about this printer.

Waiting for laser sintering based devices to appear. With the expiry of key patents, new cheap devices were supposed to flood the market. But where are they???

Currently I am a Malaysian Business Marketing undergraduate student and doing my final year project about Asia local 3d printer manufacturer. Can you all can help me fill in the survey?

hi guy, im curious 1 things as im considering to order parts to be 3d printed.

how small an item 3d printing can print? can they print very thin item? like 1 mm thickness curve? and how strong will that be? and does it will be fragile? for example, that 1mm thickness curve things, if i bend it open a bit, will it break? or it will bend back or it will bend to where i bend it to @@?

bellow 1mm is fragile

1.2 still ok.
