QUOTE(altan @ Dec 15 2015, 03:00 PM) You can try pming bloomker or see his website. You might also want to get filaments for your printer and I would recommend quality filaments from Qwikfab. Try not to buy filaments from aliexpress or china sourced filaments because there have been cases of poor quality filament messing up prints and damaging the 3D printer. I am still in the midst of discussing with Qwikfab in bringing 6+ spools of Q-PLA. You can combine your shipping with me if you like. Also, check out my siggy below if you need to get the Prusa I3 parts printed. 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?

QUOTE(feiming @ Dec 16 2015, 02:20 PM) 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. Good idea, any one interest? We can build it together. I'll go through the link u stated above 1st.

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. Thanks, will contact them. If i want to straight do some upgrade on the part, what's ur recommend? Now in mind is the lead screw..

QUOTE(feiming @ Jan 4 2016, 08:28 AM) Regardless which method,they still need you to pay first.You can try your luck by walking in and ask for a quote. If it's more expensive,bring up the email quote.if lesser,just shut up. And u can try to say last time your friend did the same design for rm200++. See what they say. It take 1 or 2 working days to ready. i'm paid already, can collect it tomorrow onwards. And my taobao's items going to receive in this 2 days, hopefully can start assembly this weekend.
