Storm88 : Need a spool of 3mm White/Natural PLA urgently. You have them in stock now?  Please PM me ASAP, thanks.

if possible i want a local shop.

In here, most of the stuff in 3D printer can be buy locally. Pulley, timing pulley, shaft, gear etc. Becuase this parts is more to industry, normal people will have a hard time to find. But if you ask those mechanical engineer, they know where can find those parts.

Only the controller and electronics you probably have to source out.

Because of the high profit, quality and tax. I can buy this parts from japan and cheaper than here.

But nowaday, many taiwan, china and korea parts which is cheaper. It depend on quality.

I suppose storm88 can become dealer for reprap spare parts?

Not sure how accurate the 3D printer need. If the accuracy is not that so important, china parts still can consider. But you have to know which maker is better. Taiwan should be ok. As long they takecare the quality. Cause majority the parts also from china. Just they have quality to control.

Europe parts is a bit expensive. I would rather get japan parts.

China part improve alot compare 10yrs ago.

But so far, I never use before.    Mostly Japan or western parts.

erm....i really have no idea guys.
i need one to do fabrication of certain parts for my biz.
anyone can help please PM me.

wow...finally found 3d printer group!

thinking to do 3d printing, as I have no problem with 3d modelling.

I would like to ask, is it difficult to increase the bed size?

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?

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

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?

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

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

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?

Possible for any lower?

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.

BTW, as I am sourcing parts for my MendelMax 1.5 and found out stepper motors are so expensive! I came across this recommended specs:
How tight should I follow about it? Where can I find good deal other than ebay?
