GeeeTech Prusa i3 A Pro 3D printer DIY kit

This Prusa I3 A pro 3D printer is streamlined and optimized based on the previous Geeetech Prusa Aluminum I3 3D printer. This Prusa I3 A pro has the following features.

3-in-1 3D printer control box


As you can see, the most obvious modification is that we add a 3-in-1 3D printer control box for this Prusa I3 A pro which gathers the motherboard, power supply and LCD Cpanel in one box, saving the space taken by the printer and bringing you a neat and organized desktop, most importantly, the power supply is installed inside the control box now, which is not only for protecting the power supply, but also for eliminating unnecessary dangers, protecting your family and your pets.


Easy assembly, easy debugging
High precision machined parts and well-designed mounting holes make the installation process simple and fast. The control box is already assembled by us, what you need to install is only the body, which saves a lot of time for you. The detailed assembly manual makes your DIY assembly easy and time-saving. Detailed instructions provide you with convenient debugging guidance.


Reserved design for upgrading
In consideration of your need to upgrade the extruder in the future, we use reserved design on this printer and you can upgrade any part. This kind of design provides you with more choices of revamping this printer and more ways to use it.


Visible parts, convenient for trouble shooting
Compared with the box-type printer, Prusa I3 3D printer DIY kit is more suitable for starters. All the parts are visible, and you can easy access to those parts. It is very convenient for for trouble shooting when you are using the printer.

Geeetech Aluminium Prusa i3 3D printer

This entry was posted in Unclassifiable by Pandoon (updated on )

Everyone or nearly has already heard of 3D printers.

But for those who still do not know what is a 3D printer, it's like a conventional printer that allows you to create your paper documents, except that here, it's in 3D! You can also choose the color, and even material! Generally, it is the PLA or ABS plastic. But you also have metal, wood, etc…!

A 3D printer allows you a lot of things (as long as you have time): create replacement pieces yourself, create works of art, create or copy figurines, etc. )

Having heard a lot about 3D printers and the fascinating prints that could be obtained, I got one, the Geeetech Prusa i3 aluminum 3D printer!

Why test the 3D Aluminium Geeetech Prusa i3 printer as a first test?

Why did you choose the Geeetech Prusa i3 aluminium as the first 3D printer?

Mainly for 3 reasons:

  • The first is that it is relatively affordable price for a 3D aluminum printer level.
  • The second is that the Prusa i3 model is very well known in the world of 3D printing, so I knew that in case of difficulty, in addition to the Geeetech company, I can find information and assistance without too much difficulty on the net for it.
  • And the third is that, according to my research, the cheapest 3D printers are all in acrylics, but only as a result of the structure of the skeleton of the 3D printer be acrylic, the printer is very stable when printing! However, a printer, still makes good spurts! (Besides, printer paper, also!) All the tremors will eventually resulted in several problems of tension, torsion, calibration, detachment, etc… I've already put a paper printer on an unsteady table, which made the printer shake from left to right every time I printed, well I can tell you it didn't take very long to notice any printing problems!
    So I decided to opt directly for a more stable printer and not start investing afterwards in improvements or another printer afterwards.

Be aware that there are different types of 3D printers. Among the best known, you have the FDM 3D printer, which comes to deposit melted filament layer by layer, and the 3D resin printers that come solidify the resin layer by layer.

Geeetech Prusa i3 Aluminium 3D printer test

Since construction may take some time, I will write this article while building the printer.

Unpacking

The expedition went very well. When you open the package, you get a few slips. A booklet containing the different parts and their quantity, a sheet containing the different characteristics of the printer and 2 sheets stapled together that includes the list of all the components.

These sheets stapled are here to tell you that the contents of the box has been checked manually by a human being. As often in large parcels, it is not uncommon to end up with missing parts.

Note: The notices are in English. Personally, I haven't even checked if a manual was available in french, as in all cases, the instructions in English would have been the most up-to-date and best explained, because usually it's from English that it is translated into french. But it seems to me that it is available in french.

The rest of the parts is separated by a block of foam separated in 3 floors.

The parcel

I forgot to mention one detail: the Geeetech Prusa i3 Aluminium is self-assembly.

It's cheaper, but it also helps to know his machine. And in case of concern, it is much easier to detect the source of the problem and fix it if possible.

Then, the package is very well protected by of the foams and parts by paper bubbles. The foam is thick enough and is separated in 3 floors.

And level parts, we can say that it was worth his money: screwdriver to multi tips, protect-cables, a bunch of clamps, stem for filing if necessary, etc…

The Assembly

For editing, look carefully at all the documents: booklet, pdf, videos. Compare them between them. They have errors on both sides, and given the number of screws, you can't blame them too much. Especially since they change the printer over time. We also see in videos that they show is either identical or similar, and besides, the pdf that is often updated, indicates that this or that piece has changed.

It's great to change and improve the printer over time. But unfortunately there is no indication of the printer version.

At most, you will find a date here and there that indicates the last audit. It's especially bad for those who does not command at Geeetech directly and are likely therefore to have an older version (although I think that it would be fully functional without the improvements, but it's still a shame).

The funny thing about editing videos is that at times you see the guy who says to himself: "Ben shit! Are they or the following pieces?! Or did I put them on? "And hey, he's going to get them! Xd

Or: "I live this there, then this, I try to insert it there" and there you have a hand that says no, it's not in this place! Xd

Little by little it takes shape!

Ah, first concern, it lacks a screw! Not thought to check whether the number of screws was correct or not.

A quick note to the technical support: Nickel, they will send me some!

Ah, and they didn't think of everything! A tool is missing: enough to make a hole in rubber to screw the belt! Fortunately I had the necessary stuff, but it would have been nice to clarify.

With this kind of leather punch, it works very well, it is with a tool of the kind that I did: https://www.amazon.fr/Aodoor-renouvelable-ceinture-tournante-perforateur/dp/B01HPMTLGE

And we're still editing!

When you see the number of wires, you understand the number of colsons provided!

And here's what the final version of the 3D printer looks like:

Then comes the programming!

On this side, nothing special to say, these are software that can practically be used with any 3D printer. The whole thing is to set them up well.

Furthermore, a Geeetech error, is that in the manual, the settings are made for a diameter of 0.4 mm nozzle while the printer I has been provided with a 0.3 mm nozzle.

This difference of 0.1 mm is change everything, a piece that looks like nothing, you have a beautiful printed piece!

Conclusion

It was a great experience to assemble this 3D printer yourself. It was very informative and I do not regret it at all! Setting up your own 3D printer makes you learn a lot about them, and allows you in case of trouble to discover the source of the problem, to be able to fix it, to understand exactly how it works, etc.

Note that the assembly did not necessarily take a long time: making it at my ease, it took me 1 day and 2 afternoons to mount it from A to Z.In case
of trouble, the customer service is on whatsapp and reacts fairly quickly and helps you quite well (in English).

I can't actually compare to a 3D acrylic printer, but from the few I could compare with videos, this Geeetech aluminum really gives an impression of rigidity to any test, I really recommend it!

Edit: Since my test, know that there are now much stiffer aluminum 3D printers that require almost no assembly, the best known being the Creality Ender 3. They come to you in 2-3 parts, and you'll just have to screw a few screws and your 3d printer will be almost ready for use.

I also advise you to read my other article things to know about 3D printing.

A trip to the MZTO plant, a new 3D printer MZ3D-256 and an MZTO E3Dv6 extruder / Sudo Null IT News ):

When my Chinese Geeetech hot end got me at the end with plugs and plastic leaking through the thread (yes, I sealed it with fum tape, it still flows and it’s inconvenient to disassemble when something gets stuck inside again or the nozzle clogs), I decided to buy myself such a brilliant toy. As it turned out, they are not so easy to find in ordinary stores, I had to go to the factory ...

There is no shop at the factory, in order to buy something - you need to go to the territory. We were greeted cordially, told that 3D printing is a fairly new direction for the plant, which is developing quite actively. They even made a separate website for it, I’m sure that you haven’t heard about it, just like me.

In addition to the hot ends and the steel frame, which I mentioned earlier (by the way, it's very inexpensive, I haven't seen anything similar on sale anymore, the aluminum one is noticeably more expensive), the factory presented its own version of the printer. It turns out that on 14.07 there was his presentation, about which I have not seen any mention anywhere. Probably, not many people came to it :) The printer impresses, first of all, with its compactness, compared to my Prusa i2, it is one and a half times smaller in all dimensions. True, the print area is also not huge: 160x160x155 mm ( x|y|z ).

Ready-made printers in stock:

Printers are willingly shown to visitors, I was invited to see how he prints, however, I was in a hurry, so I had to refuse. According to the representative of the factory, the aluminum table heats up to 120 degrees, the hot end - up to 240. As for the hot end, I somehow doubted that it could not be heated more, since there is an E3D Volcano that heats up above 300 degrees without problems. Probably, the operation of the printer has not yet been tested on high-temperature filaments.

Extruder design:

Direct drive extruder, judging by the design, it should normally press soft filament (Flex, Rubber), when I asked if it heats up during fast printing with nylon, they didn’t answer again, probably didn’t check it. Mechanics on ball screws, GT2 belts, thick guides with plain bearings, Y-axis - on rails:

Rolled the table on a semi-assembled printer, there are no backlashes to the touch, it gives the impression of a fairly rigid structure:

Why there is a hammer on the table - I don’t know :) With me, the assembler used only a caliper and a screwdriver :) Inside there is a standard Arduino Mega and RAMPS (which means that if there is a need to reflash, there will be no problems) and a power supply from the LED strip.
