Okay folks,
The time has come for me to say farewell to my old printer; not because I want to but because the new one was a little pricey haha. So here goes! I will make another thread in the CLASSIFIEDS - OTHER section as well
Item: DIYElectronics Prusa i3
Age: 8 months
Warranty: None
Packaging: Nothing original but will figure something out should you request shipping.
Condition: Used but well looked after. Handful of parts replaced before sale (Will list below)
Location: Durban
Reason: Upgraded
Shipping: Yes however it will be on you at your own risk. This thing is big and fragile.
Collection: Yes - Will give you a crash course too
Price: R4500
Link: Difficult one; originally it was THIS but I upgraded it to THIS....
A little about the printer:
- Build Volume: 250mm x 270mm x 200mm
- Heated Bed: Yes (Very good one in fact - Hits 90C easily)
- Auto-bed leveling: Yes via Inductive Probe
- Runs off the Arduino MEGA + RAMPS 1.4 combo
- Prints: PLA, ABS, PVA, PETG, PC and composites (Wood, alufill, carbon fiber, etc...)
- LCD: Yes
- SD Card: Yes
Upgrades I did to the printer:
- Leadscrew Upgrade (Much more stable and better print quality) valued at R1200.
- PETG Printed Parts (Stronger parts, harder wearing) valued at R250.
- Hardened steel nozzle (Longer lifespan and can print composites) valued at R100.
- Replaced Mosfets and Diodes on RAMPS (Better quality = more reliable) valued at R150.
- Redesigned hotend and PLA cooling fan valued at R150.
- Silicone insulated heated bed (Better insulation for heating) valued at R200.
What you will get should you buy this printer:
- The printer (Duh)
- Power cable + USB Cable for Arduino.
- Small roll of PLA filament.
- Spare sheet of tape for PLA and ABS.
- Spare roll of blue painter's tape for PLA.
- Spare LMU88 Linear Bearing
- Spare 608ZZ Ball Bearing
- Scraper
- Spare nozzle (Not hardened steel)
- Any spares I find for it lying around the printing station)
- A crash course in 3D printing + damned good coffee (Should you collect)
- If not collecting then you can get the WhatsApp version of the crash course. (Please note that I can only help you for so long.)
- Original SDHC card with all the original files and software that came with the printer. Will also gladly fill it up with my own random files.
This really is a great printer and I am sad to see it go but the new one cost some good money and I need to try and offset it a little. Will be sad to see it go, but hopefully it will go into good hands
Please note that Carb is one of my largest customer bases so should you purchase this printer from me, you must understand that I will be very against you starting something on Carb. Look local first
