So, I decided that I wanted to see what the HIC Prusa i3 from AliExpress (various sellers) would look like, so I ordered one.

Reason to buy this specific model was that it ships from the UK, so no import costs for the EU, and it has screw motors instead of steppers with a coupler (Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my idea this was better)

So, it arrived, and I started building, and ran into the same issue which everyone seems to run into, the included printed parts for the X axis are not square, resulting in the rods for the Z-axis not being parallel, and not fitting in the plexiglass frame. They are shipping me a new part, but I'm already printing one from thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:712896)

Hey W, I have a complete set of STL's that came with my printer. Of course in true China fashion they are not exact parts that came with my printer but the X Axis motor holder and Idler are there. I had the same problem. The only parts printed in the kit were crap. You are welcome to them. takes about 4 emails to send them all. Brian. rb3d@msn.com.
