Hi everybody in this forum, I would like to show the differents steps of the unboxing, the assembly, and the test of my recent order of this 3D printer from www.reprap.cn.
It's an He3D prusa i3 with Dual Extruder
( you can see this printer available in 2 differents website : reprap.cn and reprapmall.com : [www.reprap.cn] or [www.reprapmall.com] )
I will show you all the parts, the differents positive and negative aspects, the problems with the parts, the assembly and the differents test of printing and configurations.
I would like to tell that I'm new in the 3d printer world at this time, I'm open to all your advices.

Welcome onboard 
, I thought this he3d uses aluminum at first glance but actually an acrylic, most likely ~6mm thickness and with the letter holes there from what I think, will make the structure even weaker, in addition to the full graphic panel screwed on top of it too.
Have fun anyway

The next step of assembly :
All the parts for the dual head : Teflon wrap, nozzles, brass pieces, RB57, thermistors, polyimide tape, fan and cooling fin
You will notice that one of the fan has a propeller which is broken, need to be glue and change later.

Some printing test of Blue 1.75mm PLA filament from their shop too on www.reprap.cn
I use Repetier, and I slice using SLIC3R, and use the SD card to do the job
A little Marvin :
3D Hubs Marvin - Key Chain
you can check the following link of this part : [www.thingiverse.com]
Some LED Bumper:
ZMR 250 rear LED Bumper
The link : [www.thingiverse.com]
in printing time directly on the heat bed with some Kapton Tape, this Kapton Tape too is from their shop on www.reprap.cn
A LEGO model 2X
1:1 Lego Mini Figure
The link : [www.thingiverse.com]
I have printed in 2 time much bigger
A Star Hollow Vase:
Square Vase, Cup, and Bracelet Generator
The link : [www.thingiverse.com]
A Fan Duct :
A LCD 12864 Box :
NCS 12864 LCD housing with Mount
The link : [www.thingiverse.com]
A GoPro Hero 4 case :
I print all these parts except the "Led Bumper", directly on a glass, without any glue, tape or hair spray.
Not perfect for my 1st time using a 3D printer and the soft and tuning the Slic3r.
Tell me what do you think of the result of these printing test.
