Hey everyone,
So the past few months I ordered a DLT-600 and did tons of modifications to it, but getting tired of doing 1 small tweak after another and slowly not getting enough time to play with the machine anyone. Does anyone know where I can sell this 3d printer? There is nothing wrong with machine, I can sell the machine for 900 dollars just to get rid of it, I spent more than 1200 dollars and I know I will never get that back. Here are the modifications I added.
Removed all plastic/3d printed pieces and ordered metal corners.
Replaced plastic carriages with metal carriages.
Added high performance linear rails.
Added Flex3drive for better extrusion performance, which enables it to print Ninja flex and other materials easily.
Added the heated bed.
Upgraded the power unit to fully support the hot end and heated bed since the one that came with it wasn't good enough.
Added the BLTouch for great leveling precision and consistency.
Replaced the printing bed with a nice glass bed.
Added more blower fans to Effector
Printed many new effectors for the machine.
Replaced all the switches on each axis with better switches.
Replaced a lot of the cables with better cables and longer since the machine is very tall and the cables they gave me were extremely short.
And more parts ready to be added that I ordered for different materials, also have a GeckoTek metal print bed for when I print ABS.
Willing to give the person all of my 3d print stuff, but I do want to keep the filament if I want to get another printer in the future.
I have all receipts and paper work for the machine, the kit is from China so the documentation is horrible for it. Plus I had to redo a good amount of the firmware code to get everything measured out correctly since the code they give you is for the DLT-180.
I have gotten very good prints from the machine but as I am trying to get more and more precise prints, the amount of work and time goes up. I deeply enjoy 3d printing, but I would rather buy a machine from a person who does this for a living and has solved all of the problems already. I want to spend more time with my family compared to being in my room trying to tweak the 3d printer to do what I want.
Finally waving the white flag!
Greg
