Hi guys, I intend to print a part that has some fine detail, at the order of 0.1mm. Do you know who or which company is capable in printing such part?

0.1mm? extruded printing very hard to achieve that detail level. only way is SLA printings

I suppose so that it's hard to achieve with extruded printing. Any recommended company that do SLA printing in Malaysia?

unless your product is very high in value which worth the prototyping. If you hope to look for a home printer like us, i dont think there is any

What is the smallest detail a home printer could make anyway? I could adjust my model somehow.

i mean, i don't know about other geeks, but for myself, i'm building a SLA unit myself, but the building cost is expected more than 10K.

if you ask me to prototype a product with my machine say 10c.m square object, that will definitely cost you few hundreds of ringgit.

For the professional prototype company, they'll definitely charge you much expensive

Okay. I want to know how detail can a home printer achieve anyway. I'll probably have to resort to look for home printer, adjusting my model to fit the requirement. Can a home printer print details at 0.5mm resolution confidently?

by the way, why do you need such a small thickness? imho, that will not be strong enough for normal application except for visual purpose.

TBH, it's indeed for visual purpose. LOL!

BTW, as I am sourcing parts for my MendelMax 1.5 and found out stepper motors are so expensive! I came across this recommended specs:
QUOTE
Desired specs: NEMA17 size, 1.5A or less, 8 mH inductance or less, 62oz.in (44Ncm, 4.4kg.cm) or more of torque, 1.8 or 0.9 degrees per step (200/400 steps/rev respectivel


How tight should I follow about it? Where can I find good deal other than ebay?

The 62oz-in torque of stepper motor is higher price nowadays.
You could easily get higher torque of 78oz-in with cheaper price in Aliexpress. For example:
Aliexpress Stepper Motor 78oz-in, 5pcs, USD47 per lot
*
Thanks for the link. This is indeed a very interesting pricing. Have you had experience on these set of motors yourself?

I ordered the 56oz-in with even cheaper price last week, will arrive this two days.
Haven't tried yet, should be realiable, based on the feedback on Aliexpress.
Aliexpress Stepper Motors, 56oz-in, 5pcs

Seems like the 78oz-in will do fine for me. It's within my budget anyway. Or we don't need this much torque actually?
I intend to get a higher rating one, so I can run them sufficiently at a lower voltage/current, so as to reduce the noise and heat generated?

Did anybody here have a printer with 0.1mm nozzle (or an SLA or SLS printer)? I have a part that needs such high resolution.
I have experimented with gcode generation and it will work with 0.1mm nozzle setting only, so anything above that is a no go.
Urgent.

Hi guys, my motors are being held up by the custom. I don't think I'll be taxed for it but I guess I'll need to prepare some documentations. Is printing the page where I bought the product sufficient?

Anything under motor will be tax.

Last time my brother kena tax 50% because the stepper motor is under motorbike parts code. doh.gif  Sound similiar. After go there explain and some document, than reduce to 15%.
*
So I should expect about 15% then?
Man, I still need to get extrusion and the electronics - are these taxable?

Who is the shipping Company?? Fedex??

I use EMS. Does it make a difference?

I got mine through Fedex last two week, no tax.
The supplier from China gave me the HS Code for stepper motor - 8501 10 9990
Checked through http://tariff.customs.gov.my
8501-10 is for motors of an output not exceeding 37.5Watt, no tax actually.
You only need to pay 15% if your motor is more than 1hp (750W), under the HS code of 8501-52-XXXX
*
Don't think mine is anywhere near 1hp. It's a 17HS8401.

Better prepare $ for tax. Why kena tahan? Parts over RM500?

Next time, parts like wire or motor, try to ask the sender write other name. Maybe can escape if didn't scan.

EMS or DHL etc same thing. Parts from certain country like japan have a high chance kena tax. Don't no why.
*
No idea. It's just RM200 over. Maybe just unlucky got tahan. I used EMS before to buy puzzles from Japan also didn't kena tahan. Maybe the vendor is from AliExpress?
