Sintron 3d printer kit

Come and check below video, this is what our printer real work

Those plastic parts which we send to you are all made through this

Overview

The operating principle of 3D printer is to establish a 3D model by your computer, and use slicing software system to do the slicing work for the 3D model then save to the SD card for ready to print. Made of high quality acrylic material + Steel rod (threaded & smooth), this 3D printer has a simple structure, light and portable, beautiful and trendy.

This kit include all the parts you need for building Reprap prusa i3 3D printer. you might be wondering what are the difference between ours and others.

the main difference would be :

(1) we don't adapt wade extruder, we upgrade the J-head to all metal MK8 extruder.

If you use wade extruder etc, every time when you change the filament, you have to take them apart and calibrate it all again. it takes hours sometimes, so I would suggest you to use long distance extruder as below. it takes you only within 1 minute to change the filament. (how long will we change the filament? for normal use, you would change it at least 3~5 times per month. I believe you don't want to spend hours every time)

(2) We offer LCD 2004 controller with SD card design support totally off-line print, no computer needed while printing. then you don't have to spare one computer for your 3D printer use only. The default is LCD 2004 controller, if you would like to upgrade to LCD 12864, please inform us in advance. we offer this for free now.

(3) We use the latest MK3 Heatbed 3mm Aluminium PCB Board, dual power supply, operate at 12V or 24V. Heated bed keeps a certain temperature to prevent warping, and cooling fan speeds up solidification of the extruded filament. this would reduct your calibration time a lot!

(4) We use well-designed standard MK8 extruder, high quality stepper motor and direct drive extrusion wheel, more accurate, quick heating and fluent injection, we have made necessary design to prevent "jammed" problem. printing speed up to 100mm/s.

Actually we have own this products for over one year, but we just started to sell it now. because we hope to went through all the details, and make sure all the components we selected are really useful, so customer can save time on worrying if it's the hardware problem and focus on project only.

Therefore, if you meet any problems (I am sure you will meet dozens of problems and questions during the building process, and it's normal), you can always contact us for technical support, because almost all the problems you will meet, we already met before, you are not just buying this product, you also get our experienced support for you. building a 3D printer is not an easy job, so if there's some one you can ask, you will save a lot of time.

We have pre-installed the 3D printer firmware for you, so even you know nothing about firmware, you can still get it working. error range would be from 0.1~0.5mm (but in order to be more precise, some knowledge about the firmware is recommended)

please feel free to send us an email, we will also help you to complete the project!

Sintron Reprap Prusa I3 3D-Printer – review and first impressions

3d Printing, Making

I’ve wanted a 3d-printer for a while. So as part of my intention to start trying to build more things and branch out from just creating software, I decided to buy one.

I used the following criteria when I was deciding what to buy:

• It had to be a learning opportunity – it’d be pretty easy to buy a closed source device which was neatly packaged up and “consumer ready”, but I didn’t think I’d learn a lot about 3d printing from that.
• Low cost – before buying this machine, I knew next to nothing about the practicalities of 3d printing. I didn’t want to sink a lot of money into a 3d printer, and quickly discover that either it wasn’t quite what I wanted, or that maybe it wasn’t any good. I have a couple of expensive electronic white elephants and I don’t need any more.
• Large print area/volume – I wanted a minimum of 200mm x 200mm for the print bed area. I know from experience that compromising on this really limits what you can build.
• Heated bed – my research told me that if you don’t have a heated bed on your printer, you’re going to need to get one pretty quickly. It’s possible to print without one, but it’s a lot easier if you’ve got one.
• Positive reviews and community support– I wanted something that I knew at least some people had got to work.

So I didn’t care about what it looked like, and I didn’t mind having to put it together from a kit.

I decided on buying the Sintron Prusa i3 kit from Amazon as it met all my criteria.

• There’s a huge RepRap community;
• Reviews on Amazon at the time of my purchase were all good;
• It has a heated bed which is about 20cm x 20cm;
• It’s one of the the lowest cost kits that I could find – I could have sourced the parts individually and potentially got it cheaper, but I was happy enough to pay a bit more to get everything in one box;
• There are a huge bunch of Prusa i3 tutorials on YouTube, so even before buying the kit, I had a pretty good idea of how to make it and what kind of results I’d get;

Construction

I knew I was getting a kit, so I got what I expected when I opened the box!

But it was a bit disappointing to not have printed instructions in the box (or even a link to where the instructions might be). However, fortunately I was able to piece together how to do it from a couple of different sources I found. Neither are perfect matches for the kit I was supplied with, but they were close enough to let me build the machine.

• Mechanical guide here.
• Electronics guide here.

I also used this video series on YouTube to guide me through construction and how to do my first print.

Initial Experiences

I tried printing in PLA first  – PLA stands for Polylactic Acid, which has a melting point of about 185C. This is supposedly one of the easiest materials to print with, so I thought it was a good starting point.

• The canonical first thing to print is the 10mm x 10mm x 10mm cube, which is available on Thingiverse. I downloaded the STL file.
• Next, I downloaded Slic3r. This is a program which opens the STL file, and slices the 3d drawing into many horizontal layers. You need to:
  • Enter details of the material you want to print with – in my case, 1. 75mm PLA;
  • Enter the temperature you want to print at – for PLA, I went with an extruder temperature of 185C, and a heated bed temperature of 60C.
  • Enter the speed that you want to print at – there were many options in Slic3r, and I left them as the default for my first print.
• Each of these layers is converted into G-code, which is a way of instructing the printer to dribble melted plastic in a particular shape in the X and Y axis, and then lift the extruder by a very small distance in the Z-axis to print a different shape. Eventually each of these different layers will form the 3d print which replicates the object in the STL file;
• Finally, I downloaded PrintRun, which connects to the printer and sends the G-code instructions to the printer.

As a reminder – these are my initial experiences. I have a couple of hundred hours of printing experience under my belt now, and I’m not doing things exactly the same way now as I did for my first print. For example, I use ABS as my primary print material now rather than PLA, and I use Cura instead of Slic3r. 

Initial Conclusions

The PLA cube printed well – which was enough to confirm the printer was a good purchase. I was certainly happy that I had only paid about 250GBP for a functioning printer, and had learned a lot about how these machines work.

I’ll blog next about some improvements I made to the printer which expanded the machine’s usefulness.

10 Benefits of a 3D Printer: Save Time and Money

More recently, 3D printing has been viewed as something completely new. The technology was underdeveloped, the hardware was too expensive for widespread use. But only a few years have passed, and the situation has changed radically. Not only did more and more 3D printers begin to appear in stores, but also some enthusiasts began to assemble this equipment themselves.

1. Economy

Although large-scale projects with thousands of 3D printed parts are not cheap, they are still much more profitable than other technologies. Many manufacturers use 3D printing for small runs or for prototyping. Plastic can also be used for injection molding, but casting small batches can require expensive equipment. But even in this case, manufacturers can produce cast 3D parts several times cheaper than using aluminum.

2. Faster production cycle

Compared to traditional production methods, the entire process can take weeks or days, and most products are printed in hours. Some manufacturers have even begun to make parts to order, which has also allowed them to optimize their warehouse capacity and resource management scheme, making them more flexible. With this new approach, the manufacturer does not need to store every single part or component, they can simply be printed as needed and immediately put into action.

It not only affects the reputation of the company in its industry, insufficient technical control can lead to injury to employees and customers. Since 3D printing uses a completely different production method than most machine tool operations, the process has significantly fewer weaknesses and flaws overall.

4. Less waste

The press is gaining more and more support in the form of supporters of the "green" movement. Because 3D printing produces significantly less waste than traditional processing, the technology is more environmentally friendly while reducing costs. 3D printing has even made its way into the textile industry, allowing clothing and prototypes to be printed.

5. Greater customization

3D printed products are also highly customizable. Parts can be printed not only with light plastic, some next-generation models may also have a metal coating. As a result, objects are not only aesthetic, but also functional. In addition, they can acquire thermal and chemical resistance. The existing metallization method can also be used for plastic.

Functional parts printed on Hercules. Material ABS, nozzle diameter 0.5 mm, layer height 150 µm, filling 100%. The model consists of 3 parts: the body and 2 halves of the latch, after printing and processing, the parts were glued together with acetone.

6. Customer Accessibility

If some craftsmen set up small mechanical workshops, for example, in garages, then most of us cannot afford such a luxury. 3D printing allows you to bring a significant part of the manufacturing process directly into the home, made possible by the availability of user-grade 3D technology. While it turns out to be quite expensive for one-off projects, the price of 3D printers and consumables is dropping rapidly.

7. High complexity

In most cases, when it comes to complex parts and elements, the manufacturing process imposes certain limitations. Techniques used in casting and finishing objects may not be subtle enough for sophisticated design details. 3D manufacturing processes make it possible to realize almost any design solution, regardless of its complexity, and in a reasonable time. This not only eliminates the extra assembly steps required by traditional methods, but also provides more freedom to create future-proof designs.

8. Less risk

While there are inherent risks associated with these new technologies, in terms of day-to-day business, 3D printing risks are significantly lower than with traditional manufacturing methods. Not only is 3D printing much cheaper when it comes to testing a new design or product, the printed prototypes themselves can stir up investor and customer interest and get them to decide whether to proceed with mass production of a product, whether it is worth the time and effort required.

9. Variety of materials

The materials used in today's 3D printers are much more diverse than most raw materials in traditional production methods. 3D printing also provides the ability to mix different substances, a luxury that is not always available with conventional methods. Although many 3D printer manufacturers offer their own, very limited set of sources, 3D printers can work not only with original materials, allowing you to simulate ceramics, metal, glass and more.

The manufacturer not only needs to clearly understand what the customer wants, the manufacturer must also be able to explain what he himself can.

THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF 3D PRINTING

Despite a relatively slow start, the concept of 3D printing is finally gaining momentum and popularity among manufacturers and customers. We already see a lot of benefits of 3D printing, including shorter production cycles, more complex designs and improved quality, and the peak of the popularity and functionality of this technology is yet to come.

3D printing is one of the most promising areas of technological development in the 21st century. Having gone a long way from bulky and heavy boxes to compact desktop devices, 3D printers have ceased to be something inaccessible to a wide range of users. The era of mass additive manufacturing has already arrived, and every home can now house a real desktop factory.

You can buy a 3D printer capable of printing small models and prototyping of medium complexity today at the price of an entry-level laptop. The price of PLA or ABS plastic, which acts as a consumable, also no longer seems exorbitant. In a word, if you have long dreamed of getting to know the world of 3D printing and joining the ranks of makers, the right moment has come!

To save you time and make it easier to select equipment, we have collected in one section all desktop 3D printers optimized for home and office use. These are the real "workhorses" with the perfect balance of functionality, quality and price. Even a beginner can understand the settings, mount and calibrate a 3D printer, and as he gains experience, he will be able to print more and more complex three-dimensional models.
