Topic: Anyone have any experience with Sintron?

The other half snagged a "mini kossel" kit from these folks on ebay for a good price... just curious if anyone else has had any experience at all with them?

This is the kit we are getting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181845082062

Looks like a decent enough kit, but it kinda bugs me they are using the term "E3D" for their hotend when it obviously isn't one...

Should be an interesting build...

Interesting.   I wonder how big the printarea realy is the folger kit only has a 6" diameter print area yes the bed is *" but if built to spec you can never reach the edges. Also the photo has the electronics totaly exposed while good ventilation I do not like. Also the FT kit now has aluminum connectors included in the price.
Looking forward to build log and review.

Will do, Tin. smile

Yeah, there are some small issues right off that will need to be addressed - like the electronics just sitting out. Have been looking at various enclosures for the Ramps & LCD on thingiverse - just need to decide which version I like best... LOL

The whole thing is only around 24" tall, so I would imagine the print area isn't huge, but that is ok. Wanted it small enough that it could be easily transported.

The FT kit was considered - the Prusa kit we have is not bad. But he got this one cheap - cheaper than the listed price (he made an offer)
