3d Printer for Philippines

I'm Billy from the Philippines,

I'm working on my project rep rap for almost 6 moths.

Hi Billy!

I am gani I am also interested on building a Rep Rap.

What are you building Mendel or Darwin?

Did you bought a kit and how much and where did you bought it?

@bjportega what is your frame made of?

Here is another mendel frame design that can be built using only a handsaw and drill press

My name is Loren and I'm just about to start building a Prusa! I'm in Mandaluyong/Makati. Getting the PLA, motors, electronics, plastic parts, and hot end from a variety of US and Canadian online stores.

have my prusa up and running! if anyone needs anything printed let me know!

Hi!

I too am working on building a 3d Printer. I work overseas right now but will be back home to Antipolo in March. I am purchasing a CNC plasma table to open a shop and to make my own 3D printer in BIG size.

I will start posing here more often the closer I come to going home and opening up shop.

Good day! Im Maricris Madarang from Professor Torsten Calvi Corp. Our company is interested to have a sample of your 3d printout. Kindly advice us on what kind of format file that you will need for printing. Would you be so kind to give us your contact number so that we could call you regarding this matter.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I am no good in electronics but I'm really fascinated with 3D Printers. In fact, I bought and assembled my own Makerbot last year. My interest has been clouded for a while by work but the yearning is still inside.

In furtherance of this interest, I'm looking for a Facebook group devoted for 3D printers or any group that I can join. It is better to relate with fellow Filipinos most of the time. hahaha!

(I may be even willing to lend or "invest" for everyone's consumption my bot if its proves to be necessary for the further development and study of 3D printers in the Philippines.)


Thanks!

I'm looking to build a prusa. Any filipinos willing to help me find the parts needed? Meron ba nung mga parts na to dito sa Pilipinas or kelangan talagang mag-import?

@ byseame

Check e-gizmo for arduino boards, stepper motor, stepper motor drivers and other electronics. You can get bearings and threaded rods at hardware stores.

If you ask them nicely and present the project they might even help you in locally building the hot ends. As for the rp parts either ebay or go with wood for now

do you know of links to well written build instructions?

i'm a total noob here and i'm interested in making one...
also help on where to find parts here in Philippines

I got my electronics on e-gizmo and alexan

Now Im working on my 3rd revision on my repstrap.

I created a facebook group "REPRAP Philippines"

Hi,

Do you have a picture of your linear slides. I'm interested on how you designed your x/y platform.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Getting closer to opening up my CNC shop in Antipolo. My CNC torch table finally arrived. will be opening shop in March.

I can cut most any shape from plate steel and aluminum with a couple thousandth of inch accuracy.

I am looking to collaborate with 3D printer builders in the Metro Manila area. I can trade CNC cutting services for design and engineering work.

I am involved with the open source movement and have already collaborated on a CEB Press (building blocks to make houses from soil)

I have the tools to build a makerbot or ultimaker.

hit me up at metzindustries @t gmail

Anyone planning to have meet-up builds or etc..?

I would like to do a meetup when I get home. I can host in Antipolo. Easy to get here. Santolan Station, then FX to Antipolo, then trike to the my subdivision gate. Or drive...

sure!
then we will create a hackers space here in the Philippines
i will bring my Reprap that i created..

metzindustries what date?

First print of my Repstrap Dec, 15 2011

I am unsure the date I will be home. I am working in Kuwait but I will be home in a few months. I have not gotten a 3D printer machine yet, I was planning on building one from scratch and buying only some of the electronics and hardware. I have a CNC plasma table that I can cut out gears, and other parts on. I am still learning how to use the software, it has been a big challenge to learn. I have most of the other shop tools, welders(mig, stick, spot), hand, power tools. No drill press, lathe or milling machine yet however.

I would like to host a meetup at the shop when I get home, network and go from there. Looking for the right people to replicate the Ultimaker and Printerbot enterprise in Phils.

I already work with a couple other open source hardware groups, Open Source Ecology, and Open Source Resilient Living.

At Open source Resilient living we have have gotten from discussion to blueprints and prototype of a machine that makes adobe blocks in only 2 months. I am a frequent contributor to the Open Source Ecology forum and 'true fan' financial supporter over there with the Factor E Farm project.

Here is the model of torch table I have. Not picture of mine as it is still in the crate waiting for me to get home.

musta na PhilMaker? I just receive my abs plastic from ebay. I hope I finish my 3d project this year.><

Pinoy living in new zealand . . .uuwi ako pinas in a years time hope i could meet up with local reprappers ..i can buy sanguino boards kung kelangan nyo ng controller . .see u then . . Gusto ko din kasi makita kung ano na bago sa 3d printers or alternatives satin .

Attach ko yung printer na gamit ko . .attached pics


Try nyo search sa youtube alizier21 . .

Alizier21 .. magkano naman po yung sanguino jan. ty

We are up and running here in Manila now. Marcos HIghway in Antipolo. We can do CNC plasma and TIG welding.
