I came across this issue for newly built repraps and the problem is solved by placing the limit switch on the opposite side and flipping the stepper motor connector.

Another solution is to mirror every one of your prints in the slicer and it should resolve on its own but trouble some mirroring every part.

You could also change the end stop setting in the firmware from max to min or min to max whichever it is in.

Refer to this too: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,113008

List of supplier is at http://reprap.org/wiki/RUG/Malaysia

Internal Diameter is depends on your filament size
Outer Diameter is depends on your nozzle throat size.

I think this Tiko is going to be the next Pirate 3D...  hmm.gif

Also tons of unbelievable statements like, printing ABS, Nylon, and anything more requires 280 deg hotend.

We'll find out then they start delivering. I want to see how their no calibration work and their printbed coating.
Hope people will start start producing titanium J head.

QUOTE(altan @ Sep 3 2015, 08:47 PM)
I think this could be due to the hotend crashing into the print which causes the sound. I had a issue with a reprap 3d printer that kept crashing into the print and the whole layers just offsets in one axis. The crashing is caused by the flimsy frame of the printer when the printer shakes, there is a chance the frame flexes and the hotend hits a part of the print causing the crashing sound. I don't know how if this fact can be applied to your delta printer but you could try running the print at a slower speed or checking the frame for any loose joints.

Glad the print turn out ok for you. I would appreciate if you could post a comment or feedback in my lowyat sales page in my signature. Extra points for post with picture.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Do you mean you need an extra 100k NTC thermistor?
*
Yes.need 1 for the heatbed.

Thanks for your reply. Checked bloomker's website, the kit price within my budget. Saw the medelmax kit with higher price, do it worth to get this unit?
The kit including all part right? Means no need to get ppl to print part for me.
Notice that also he doesn't include any free filament, means i need to combine 1 spool of filament from u. By when u need the confirmation?

Hi, can anyone tell me how is the quality of the Reprap Prusa i3? I'm planing to buy one. Please also suggest the brand of 3d printer that is worth.
*
If I was to rebuilding my 3d printer all over, this is my advice:

1. I'll choose P3steel http://reprap.org/wiki/P3Steel . With the current steel price, you can laser cut for around rm200. That cover most of the body.
2. Get professional to spray paint the steel body.
3. Get all electronic parts as a complete set. It's save a lot of trouble and money in hunting down small part.

Looks like a well built and sturdy machine, since they are using sheet metal as the frame and injection molded parts. The only drawback is it is not open source and the worst of all is filament cartridge is chipped (not cheap!).

Yes, the filament cartridge comes with a chip that stops you from using 3rd party filaments when you replace the filament when it runs low. Same as how laser printer toner cartridges comes with a chip that tells when the ink runs out.

Though there seems to be some instruction to hack the cartridge but it gets troublesome when you have a few cartridges to hack.

I wouldn't mind trying out their 3d scanner. storm88 any plans of bringing in the scanner instead?  drool.gif
Thats, a really good advice and I strongly agree the frames need to be far more sturdies and why not steel sheet metal. I don't mind the weight because I have been building shelves using steel angle iron and these things are super rigid.

Any plans of making a set anytime soon?  biggrin.gif

Good idea, any one interest? We can build it together. I'll go through the link u stated above 1st.
*
I had built it. It's the 2nd 3d printer. It's very sturdy and heavy.

The only problem i'm strugling with is uneven print bed. Probably my 6mm aluminium plate/4mm glass is uneven, or x/y steel rod had bent

I'm interested to build the P3steel. 1st thing i need to do is find the laser cutting. Any shop recommended? If not i'll just google and ask quotation, what i need to do is just send the file to them rite?

http://reprap.org/wiki/RUG/Malaysia

Supreme Steelmakers Sdn Bhd (laser cutting)
No 8, Jalan Tiga Off Jalan Sungai Besi, 55200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan.
+603-9223 6666
sales@ssmsb.com.my
http://www.ssmsb.com.my
P3steel cutting service and 3mm steel cost = rm250(email quoted on jan 2014),rm200(walk in around June 2015).
U can see how much steel price have drop. Bring .dxf file with u.

Additional advice.
1. Bearings in Malaysia is very expensive especially those small bearing.its cheaper to get from china and replace as they wear.
2. Screw and nuts.Shops that I visit call Hex screw as capped screw. There's 3 type of screw and nuts. Steel(refer to black) which will rust. Galvanised steel(white) will not rust but not available for all size/length. Stainless steel have all size,but some size can be very expensive like m3 50mm is double the price of m3 40mm.

That is pricey, that's the trade off if the place is near your home.
Maybe it's an alignment issue between the z axis frame and y axis (heat bed). Is the steel frame a little warped after assembly ? Say it rocks a little when placed on a flat surface.
*
They frame do not rock.its higher only at the centre of the print bed. All side is fine. So I suspect either the rods or the bed is uneven.

I don't use heat bed.because I need to hunt for the termistor.which is why I advise to buy electronic full set.

I would recommend Version 2.5 (by AndrewBCN): dual Bowden extruder capable. In term of laser cut, it's not much different and you can upgrade to dual extruder in future.

i'm not sure what else upgrade you can do to the body.

I have lots of spare thermistor and hotends and electronic stuff.  I have 2 sets of ramps 1.4 also. If you need electronic spare parts you can ask me for it. I can send the thermistor by pos express since its quite thin.
Yes, better get the lead screws from overseas or china. Local supplier charge a bomb.

Nice... but i just ordered 1 from element14. Thanks.

How about using aluminium profile ? Probably cheaper and more rigid and stable.

There is many china bearing in local. There are cheap. For slow moving speed, it should be alright to use. How small the bearing require on 3d printer? Less than 10mm diameter? Some Japan brand bearing like NSK should be cheap.

The black cap screw are not easily rust. It been treat with chemical to resistance better on rust. That's why it black. Using indoor is no problem at all. Cheaper too.

You can galvanized the screw you want or chrome it. But will cost few cent more. Comeback collect later. Most of the shop can do it.

SS screw mainly for use on corrode environment. SS are more soft and less strength. Expensive also. Avoid to use if possible.
*
You can make aluminium body. but the contact i gave don't supply aluminium sheet. they said you have to bring your own aluminium sheet.

Most of my black cap screw are some what starting to rust.
