Topic: Will the full kit ever be available again? Can all parts be bought?
Over a year ago, after collecting my old supports and failed prints for over 18 months I looked at buying a Filastruder and Filawinder, but didn't.
Earlier this year, I looked again, but now find it's unavailable, witn no ETA for when it might be available again.
I've contacted [email protected], but they basically restate the "no ETA" message, which, to me, indicates there are no plans to ever restart production.
The Filastruder looks to me like the ideal kit for a hobbyist since there's lots of scope to tinker. Something like the Felfil Evo looks too much like a black box, so I'd like to get hold of one, if possible, by getting all parts.
I can see that several of the parts (gearmotor, chassis, enclosure, etc) are available on the Filastruder site but would need a complete list to assemble a full kit.
Nuts, bolts, electronic components, etc aren't a problem, but things like the control board PCB and certain mechanical parts might be difficult to get.
First, I notice that the PCBs (popuklated or not) don't seem to be listed. Can they be bought or are the Gerber files (or similar) available at a reasonable price to get new ones made?
Also, the tube and heater assembly (or parts) isn't listed; can this be bought as a 'spare part'? There's probably other bits I'm not even aware of that are't listed as spares'
The Filaspooler kit appears to still be available, so it's only the Filastruder parts I'd need to get to make my own setup. Obviosly, there's no point buying a Filaspooler without the Filastruder.
Is it possible to get a full list of all the parts and if they can be bought or copies made?
Thanks in advance for any information.
