How did the x-axis motor mount break? Was the plastic part printed with ABS or PLA?

Aluminium would be expensive and probably some machine shops may not make it for you considering the design of the part. I don't think any company would stock Prusa i3 printable parts in aluminum.

u can get free length GT2 belts on ebay for quite a bargain. although the shipping time for eBay is always unpredictable. If im not mistaken, blomker sells GT2 belts by the meter as well. quite reasonably priced aswell

on a side note, why dont upgrade to Hiwin linear rails instead of linear rods and linear bearings? They're much better at resisting twisting motion. i've used them for a different project. a shop at Loke Yew sells them for like RM 100 for a 45cm long ones if i recall correctly

Nope but I have seen someone made a small 3D printer with that design. Why don't you buy a new set of linear rods and bearings instead of dismantling the Prusa i3. You can sell the assembled Prusa i3 to someone who wants to get into RepRap quickly.

Also, you might need to purchase really long GT2 timing belt since the corexy design utilizes long belt lengths. The belt follows along the 3 sides of the printer frame and loops on towards the centre so, the length depends on the perimeter of the printer size.

Journey to build second 3d printer start 

PETG has higher working temp than PLA and does not warp compared to ABS. Apparently, it is claimed that it takes the best properties of both PLA and ABS while having high strength and flexibility.

You can read more about it by searching about Taulman Tech-G PETG filaments. There are some blogs and 3d news saying good things about it.

I heard it is easier to print like PLA as compared to nylon and ABS but I have not tried them yet since I just got the filaments yesterday. So, I can't comment further on a material I just got but I have seen really impressive samples made with PETG.

Only cons is the difficult support removal.

Good suggestion, now need to clear some space and find one cheap one.    I thought of making a dry box using an array of thirsty hippo.

i didnt have a fb account    can i still viewing it?

i build corexy like this



but a little bit modified on z axis.

at first i also think go for wood frame for cost, but i think wood will do something funny overtime so i decide to go with aluminum frame.
And i'll use acrylic to cover all side after complete the build, my plan is to build the printer slowly because i have so many time to spend to build this printer and watching anime

After that i find someone here in kuching who interest in my i3

Where do you get the rail?

awesome, and where do you get the L bracket, i still browsing for the bracket not yet buy anything to connect my frame

Going to post the rest of the pictures in Facebook around later in the afternoon. Still editing the pictures to look nice. 

Short description, its a clone version of a Makerbot replicator but I am not too happy with the laser cut wooden frames they sent me in the kit. 

I like the wood feel but the frames are badly warped on important pieces.

Whats your next 3D printer if you don't mind me asking 

Got link? i seems can't find the bracket that fit into the aluminum slot on aliexpress

Finished your build already?
