Reprap in Hong Kong?

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum.

I am looking for a place in HK that sells reprap kits.
More specifically I am looking for a kit that can print 25cm x 25cm x 15cm if possible.

I cant write chinese so I cant search on the local forums.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot.

I don't know any of local kit seller that does mendelmax(there really isn't that many local kit seller in HK), but i can help you source parts if you are interested.

Hi Tommy

Thanks for your input!
Yes, the MendelMax it is. Were you able to source any parts in HK? Woudnt be surprised if you could find some parts in Mong Kok besides the bearings, nuts and bolts I have bought there before
I am looking for the smooth rods now in 10mm. The other parts should be pretty straight forward, but if you have some good sources then please let me know.

Cheers


Jonas

Hi Jonas,

You can easily find 10mm linear rods in MK, LM8UU or LM10UU linear bearing are easily available too. I bought the extrusions, leadscrews and leadscrew nuts directly form misumi, you just need to send an email to their HK office and get someone to give you a quote. You will need to use a company to do it, they don't sell to individuals.

Are you starting form scratch or do you already have some components? any preference on hotend/extruder design? Also which electronic package are you planning to use?

Anyways, if you are interested, give me a call, i will PM you my phone number.

Regards,
tommyc

I am a teacher in Hong Kong and I am planning to team up with a few teachers from other schools and each of us will by a mendel parts kit. We will hopefully all get together at one of our schools over a weekend and try to put them together. It would be really helpful if we could find someone who has some experience putting these together to drop in on us at some point to offer us some guidance if we are running into trouble. Thoughts? I can be contacted at ben-at-teacherben-dot-com

You can contact Mr. Chris by visit [blog.sina.com.cn]

The machine work properly now.

想問一下有關stepper motors, 用12 volt 电源，arduino+ramp 1.4+A4899 driver sticks, 步進电机應如何選擇，它們的电压，电流，电感，电阻，力度如何選擇？多謝高人指導？

57，42步进电机都可以，12v的电压都能用
