wow nice to know someone selling coolmorph locally! great stuff been using them a lot for my RC hobby

Useful stuff when you want a quick fix for something or just lazy to print replacements, it is also sold at RadioShack with the brand name of U Mold if you are around KL. By the way, its too expensive for its use.

Some images of what I used PCL for...

UMold!!!



Yeah, bloody expensive.. interesting & cleaner alternative to putty though, as long as your application doesn't exceed 40 degrees.

Anyone here making their 3d printer,I have extra smooth steel rod M8 and M6. The factory only sell at standard length of 6meter.

2meter M8 - RM15
2meter M6 - RM8

If you need nuts, bolts and threaded rod,I can run for u too and COD.
rm5 for running service and items as charged.Please provide the list of item.


I can arrange COD on weekdays at Serdang KTM,KL sentral or Asia Jaya LRT.

Yes, we are now selling in malaysia, only RM29.90 for 100g, free delivery or you would prefer COD?
Come to my FB and PM me if you are interested. Please help to like too.

Coolmorph only need 42C and above to melt it, hence u got more time to mould your parts before it gets hardened. Is now available with 100g pack, you may try it out.

interesting comparison between Polymorph & Coolmorph

Yes, both from the same company, Polymorph needs higher temperature, as for Coolmorph is the new product with lower temperature.
More time to mould before it gets hardened.

btw please back to main topic , make a wts post at garage sales for selling items lol, my mendelmax extruder are worn out now, filament getting blocked when doing large perimeters, I know as I hear the motor trying to force plastic out and from the print saw a few line missing

Noted, already posted in garage sales.

I just received the proper motor cables, maybe I can actually bring up the frame this weekend!!

guys, need your advice on filament size. What's the benefit of 1.75mm? I keep reading people praising 3mm

feiming, mind sharing where you bought the smooth rods from?

kssc.com.my. If you need M8 or M6, I can give you discount.

You mean your hotend or extruder gear or extruder motor worn out?

Can't wait to see the results!

3mm filament
Advantages: more material available per length which leads to slower extrusion rate means less power for stepper motor.
Disadvantage: not Bowden tube compatible due to stiffer filament. Also, may have to make your axis steppers work more just to bend a stiffer filament around. Heat uniformity during extrusion is very poor.

1.75mm filament
Advantage: better heating uniformity, and can be extruded using Bowden tube. Easier to bend too. Impurities are easily visible from the thin filament.
Disadvantage: less material per length means more work for extruder motor, extruder motor will hit a speed limit when printing too fast.

I personally never used 3mm filaments before but still, I go for 1.75 mm because its more readily available in 1 kg spool than 3mm.

@feiming, Since you are selling M8 rods, I may want to buy off all of them once I get back to PJ this mid month.

Also, here is a video I just made about hooking up a 6 wire stepper motor to a 4 wire stepstick output.

Sure.let's arrange the time when your back.

Found this printable i3 frame on thingiverse, think i'm gonna give it a shot.

Theres a v2, looks like its thicker and will take longer, i counted the time for slic3r to do just the frame parts, its gonna take 5-6 days to print everything.

Good luck, its going to be a heck of a long print.

How can you print a frame that's biggest than the platform? Or is this frame a smaller version?
