When I first started building RepRap 3D Printers, the main challenge I faced was sourcing the required parts to successfully build one.
Either the parts were too expensive or the shipping fee from overseas was so high that I felt it was not worth paying.

We need more RepRap builders in Malaysia and start sharing knowledge and helping each other with machine build. Print the plastic parts of a Prusa Mendel or Huxley for your friend or neighbour
and help him/her replicate another machine. Print some more extra to sell it to our fellow Malaysians so that others can build one as well. Replicate, replicate & replicate...that is what RepRap is all about.

Blomker Industries is based in Malaysia. Our aim is to enable Malaysians in building their own RepRap 3D Printers by supplying high quality parts at affordable prices.
Taking advantage of our efficient yet affordable national courier service the Poslaju, Malaysians RepRap enthusiasts can now easily order parts and get it at their doorstep within days.

Not yet but will surely carry ABS & PLA 3mm filament in future at affordable price too.
We will ensure fellow Malaysian RepRap enthusiasts have access to wide variety of ABS/PLA colour quickly.
Before that, the machine build must begin first. So, spread the words and fun.

I am sure you are having an awesome time building the Mendalmax, my friend. Probably it's the first in this country.
Do post some pics on the progress here for us to drool over.

I am sure you can do it, my friend. Having something like the Roland iModela on the desk is everybody's dream.
Do share your progress as well. We shall start looking into DLP 3D Printer once RepRap community has matured in Malaysia.
We will enjoy beautiful & fine 3D Prints.

That's right. Everyone is so humble and secretive about their future shaping machine.
Glad to see another RepRap enthusiast reporting in.

Added on June 22, 2012, 9:53 pmYup, that's a micro CNC mill selling for more than RM5k. Just mount a motor on your RepRap and it get transformed to a CNC mill as well.

I believe the photopolymer is the same type used for photolithography process in wafer fabrication. Anyone has contacts to wafer fab chemical supplier? Please report in yourself here.

Finally, MendelMax 1.5 Complete Kit available for sale at RM1,999 on our web store.
MendelMax 1.5 Complete Kit @ RM1,999 - CLICK HERE

For the past few months, we have been working hard in the background to launch this MendelMax 1.5 kit.
Finally it is here and we hope you like it.

This is by far the most affordable MendelMax kit available on the market. Shipped to Malaysian buyers by Poslaju at only RM50. Worry no more about ridiculously expensive shipping fee from overseas and items being held up by customs for duty and tax. Order today and start building immediately!

Anyone interested to sign up for 3D Printer assembly class? We supply all the material and parts. Teach you how to assemble it over a 2day class. We promise it will be fun and exciting.

Wow, thank you for showing interest. Glad to see more Malaysians are exposed and interested in 3D Printing now. And Cha.968, nice to meet you here

Regarding the cost, it depends what printer you would like to build. The current MendelMax kit is RM2,100. Probably an extra RM100 for the assembly class. And of course, you get to bring home the fully assembled and calibrated printer.

If you think RM2,100 is too much for your first printer, then I can try to create another kit within the RM1,800 range. Perhaps a Delta Rostock printer like the one below. Or a Mendel90...

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

Hi Cha, meet up for teh tarik later today? I will give you a call...

Hey Guys,

Glad to see this thread has been a lot more lively and active than 1 year ago. Kudos to people like cha.968, storm88 and hisashime who are actively contributing information to this thread.

We would like to contribute something as well. There are like 50meters of T5 6mm timing belts sitting on the shelf for some time already. They are no longer used since we have migrated our kits to use GT2 belts and aluminium pulleys. We would like to distribute the T5 belts to whoever interested in building a RepRap from scratch. They come with a pair of matching printed pulley as well.

Each person will get the following precisely :

-2pcs of T5 Belts (1m length each)
-2pcs of T5 Printed Pulleys

Picture :







This is F.O.C and for Malaysians only. We ship by normal post.
Please e-mail us at blomker-at-blomker.com

Hope this small contribution can encourage more Malaysians to jump on the 3D Printer bandwagon and not left behind.

Solidify rocks!

Not a perfect print but it's acceptable. Download this model from

www.thingiverse.com/thing:129459

Still some stringing here and there. Need to tune down the temperature a little bit.

Try 3D Scanning it or just replicate it in a CAD Software. It can be done.

Hi Tomaserif, we have Openbeam 15x15 extrusions in stock. They are cut to the correct length for Kossel Mini :

3pcs 600mm length
9pcs 240mm length

Comes in Mill Finish (Silver color) or Black Anodized. Do e-mail us at blomker@blomker.com to find out more details.
Lets meet up and share some of your experience in building the Kossel Mini. We have a couple of prototype units
in the lab as well. Have been putting in a lot of hours to perfect the bowden extrusion system.

Below are some pictures of our Kossel Mini kit :

Hi Marauderz,

Have you tried the ABS Juice or Hair Spray or Super Glue trick to prevent ABS print object from warping?
We have tried all and Super Glue is our favourite.

Cover your print surface with Kapton tape and then spread a thin layer of super glue before heating up the bed.
Painter's tape work as well but the tape will stick to your print object during removal from print bed.
And you will need to replace the painter tape everytime.
Give it a try....I am sure you will like this solution.

Hey Cha, thanks for the MAKE magazine subscription. Yes I am very interested to renew.
Always nice to see what are the Americans making. Do call me.

Very nice bro!! Adding a few more pics to adore the beauty of 3D Printer ....
Printed on Prusa i3 at 0.2mm layer height and 40% infill. Surface look a bit rough due to slight bubbling of the PLA filament.
Should reduce temperature by 10deg C to avoid bubbling...

And the macro shot also reveal the micro flaws...no cover up. RepRap 3D Printing is about iteration and correction till you get it perfectly right!

Congrats marauderz!! Now I can direct Up Mini users to you in case they face the same problem.

Something for the week :

Printed on our Prusa i3 at 0.2mm layer resolution. The joints snap fit perfectly well. It is a Tyrannosaurus Jet Fighter. Looks quite crazy with wings, jets and swords on a dinosaur. I like it!
