Re: Who else is getting one of the Folger Tech 2020 i3 Prusas?

The SD4 is dialed in so much better at this point - still in the tweaking stages with this one.
I think I may have the skip/jump issue resolved by upping the vref voltage - have been torture testing for the last hour, LOL

running this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:37525 (the one in the upper right corner)

Lots of angles for it to work thru, lots of little bits, too (scaled it up a bit in RH to really give it a workout) Working on print #2 right now. 1st one came out pretty good, no skips that I can see... # 2 is close to being done and also looks good.

$ for $ this isn't a bad printer, but I don't see us using it for ABS. runs fine with the PLA tho. smile And great for demo's at the local hobby shop - nice open design lets people really see what is going on.

now if I could just get the oozing under control, it would be great! LOL time to play with retraction settings i guess...

oh so very tempting, Carl - what are you asking for either? (feel free to pm if you want)


will toss the idea out to the other half and see what he says. smile

I just landed that Flashforge for 431 bucks.. Awesome deal and nothing wrong with it. Dual extrusion here we come. So both of my others are going up for sale. I don't need nor want three printers.

Since the Da Vinci has been exorcised of the XYZ demons with a RAMPS 1.4 controller and LCD as well as two additional LED strips and an upgraded power supply I was considering 425 plus shipping unless your around Dallas then you could pick up.

The Delta once running will be let go for 300 plus shipping or you can pick up.. It has an upgraded 75 amp supply and 3 nine watt LED spot lamps for illumination. Needed the bigger supply for them. I have all the parts printed now in Neon Yellow thanks the Da Vinci and I am now just waiting for an LCD because I used it on the Da Vinci conversion.

Update:

Well the seller just informed me he dropped the printer while trying to pack it. He said the frame broke. It is/was one of the wooden models. So he canceled the order and refunded my money. My bet is he just did not want to let it go for such a low price. I looked at his feedback and in the last 6 months there was a neg saying pretty much the same thing and that he relisted for a higher price. i am going to keep my out for it to be relisted. Not much i can do but I will confront him about it if I see it relisted. IMO if you don;t want it to sell too low then you should set a reserve although most things on a reserve don't sell or don't sell well.

But the Da Vinci is still up for sale if anyone is interested. I may or may not sell the Kossel now. All depends on what kind of other deals I run into. I really want a dual extruder and I am done with XYZ, so don't even mention a DUO.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.

Re: Who else is getting one of the Folger Tech 2020 i3 Prusas?

not a bad deal on either one, but gonna have to pass for now - other half says no extra in the budget for the rest of the month. hmm

ah, just saw the update - yeah, definitely keep an eye out for a re-listing - if he does, report him to eBay (keep all correspondence with him, too, so you can provide proof of bad faith dealings)

I wouldn't mind a dual extruder either, but yeah, budget... oh well... one of these days I am gonna win the lottery - just as soon as I remember to buy tickets! LOL
