Below is a table listing suppliers of filament.<br />
<br />
* There are no prices, because these change quickly and suppliers often don't care to update them.<br />
* Always check before ordering, and if you can, update this page. <br />
* If there are any missing fields in the table, please feel free to update.<br />
* Sellers: please keep your advertisements on your shop page. We already know each of you is the best and the greatest!<br />
<br />
* But most of all '''review your supplier!'''<br />
<br />

The future is to make filament yourself or to use a granule extruder. It's much cheaper! Here is where you can get such granules.<br />

It's simple: please add your entry here in a new line. Take care to set to set your country right and also to put checkmarks (only) where they fit. Admins watch this talk page and will take the entry over to the main page after a review.<br />
<br />
In case you aren't allowed to add external links (you'll notice that), put a space between the slashes of the link, like http:/ /example.com . The Admin will fix them when moving the entry over to the main page.<br />

There seem to be a bunch of wiki pages that list places where people can buy stuff related to building a RepRap (raw materials and "vitamins") or a RepStrap.<br />
<br />

* [[Mendel assembly data sheet]]<br />

Should we merge some of these pages together?<br />
Or put an explanation on one of these pages that lists all the pages why each one exists?<br />

Hey guys! a bunch of useful information disappearred just now. Specifically, McMaster Carr entry had links to two specific steel rods. They were the cheapest in my area and they delivered them the same day. Are these not suitable anymore? --[[user: Prof_Braino]] Sept 17<br />

<br />
* In the US, Trinitylabs ( http://trinitylabs.com/ ) sells electronics ( currently out of stock though ) and mechanical parts.<br />
* In France, IpsoFactio ( http://shop.ipsofactio.com/en/ ) sells electronics, and is adding mechanical components in a few weeks.<br />
Thanks ! --[[User:Arthurwolf|Arthurwolf]] 11:54, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
: Please add the entries to the list above. They'll be reviewed and then moved to the actual page. [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] 15:21, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:: Added them to the list, please tell me if anything needs correcting. --[[User:Arthurwolf|Arthurwolf]] 15:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
::: Thanks for the contribution. Moved both entries, except for the link to smoothieware.org. The Trinitylabs shop comes up with zero search results for this name. IpsoFactio has the board as the only product, but no hints on who runs the shop. smoothieware.org has no obvious links to a shop. To sum up: Which is ''your'' shop, ArthurWolf? --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 19:32, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::: None of those shops are "my shop". Trinitylabs is out of stock of smoothieboards atm, but they will have more soon. Ipsofactio is an offshoot from the local fablab. Both support Smoothie development. http://smoothieware.org/smoothieboard has a big red link to http://smoothieware.org/getting-smoothieboard , which lists both shops. Not sure why you took the link to smoothieware away ... --[[User:Arthurwolf|Arthurwolf]] 19:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::: I took the link away because this column is meant to list developers, not shop contents. Quite some RepRap developments are not listed there, because their developers don't run a shop. Prominent example: the Prusa Mendels. --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 19:59, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::::: I just did the schematic, Trinitylabs hired someone to do the smoothieboard pcb layout, paid for prototypes, tested them and handled the beta batch of boards and support for it. I think that qualifies them as developing it. Not sure you specifically, handling anything related to smoothieboard on this forum, is such a great idea. Maybe you could pass the matter along to another admin ? Thanks for publishing what you have. --[[User:Arthurwolf|Arthurwolf]] 20:06, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::::: Just to add to this ( after Traumflug added the section bellow about support ), I think what he's saying is relevant is lots of cases ( like for people paying a fee for Gen7 ), but here they did the actual development themseves. At least the current version of Smoothieboard ( it might be different for future revisons ) was created in big part in-house in Trinitylabs, by Trinitylabs employees. It's not about fees/financial contribution, it's about actual contribution to the project, with actual work. I think that qualifies them as developing it. --[[User:Arthurwolf|Arthurwolf]] 20:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

Another admin, please chime in. Thanks. --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 20:19, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

Please adjust entry for EckerTech. We provide full kits and we also developed the EckerTech all metal hot end with active cooling in 2009 and the EckerTech hobbed bolt in 2009.<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />
: Added the full kits checkmark. Does this hotend have a name and a wiki page? Can't write "some all metal hotend", after all :-) --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 16:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC)<br />

== How to support developers even better ==<br />
<br />
Following the discussion about TrinityLabs above, I'd appreciate a discussion on how to support RepRap developers even better. The "Developer of..." column is new in this revision of the guide and meant to distinguish shops just copying openly available developments (I tend to call then "copy shops") from those who also do active development for the RepRap community. Now [[User:ArthurWolf]] has brought up shops which don't do their own development, but "support" development. I guess, "support" means something like paying a fee per product sold or ordering shop supplies not at a manufacturer, but from the developer.<br />
<br />
As shops supporting development are undoubtly more valueable for the community, maybe even essential for the community to survive as an independent one, how can we get this into the picture? What's the measurement to avoid checkmark hunters (like e.g. donating $0.10 per product sold, just to get the check mark) versus highlighting noticeable support? Can we perhaps call out one of the support strategies to be a recommended standard for RepRap shops?<br />
<br />
--[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 20:18, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
: P.S.: After writing this ArthurWolf explained the situation: TrinityLabs is actually one of several of the [[SmoothieBoard]] developers (so far I considered him to be the only one), but he also asked to forward this to another admin, so I keep my hands still. Nevertheless I think the general scope of the topic here deserves a discussion. --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 20:41, 14 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Perhaps as a first step in this direction, each row could name the developer(s) who designed the products they are selling? For example, if a shop sold the original, unmodified [[Darwin]], that row would credit Adrian Bowyer. More recent machines would typically credit at least 3 people (the mechanical structure designer, the electronics designer, and the software programmer) and previous designers whose work they built on. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 17:57, 25 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
: Might become tricky, because shops not selling their own developments tend to sell many different designs. Regarding electronics and firmware I'd be very happy to see this recognized as separate itmes. You can drive a Mendel with about any electronics and many firmwares; the smae is true for about any printer design. Printer designs should just list the required features of the controlling electronics instead of prefering a specific one. --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] 10:47, 26 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Incorrect Information ==<br />
<br />
Looking to buy a full kit, I'm looking through the list and have found that some of these sites that are listed as selling full kits only sell partial kits or do not sell kits at all. The vendors with issues (I only looked through the US vendors) are:<br />
* www.easyreprap.com - Does not sell kits with plastics.<br />
* makergeeks.com - Only sells the printed parts for the RepRap.<br />
* norcalreprap.com - Sells a kit, but it does not include glass table<br />
* printrbot.com - Only sells Printrbot (Which is technically RepRap, but not helpful to me)<br />
* shop.seemecnc.com - Sells Rostock Kit (Which is technically RepRap, but not helpful to me)<br />
* www.terabyts.com - No Printer Kits, only the plastics<br />
[[User:Alanbly|Alanbly]] ([[User talk:Alanbly|talk]]) 23:05, 6 October 2013 (PDT)<br />
<br />
: Alanbly, thanks for the research. Fixed Easy RepRap, Maker Geeks and Tery Byts. Left Norcal, PrintrBot and SeemeCNC, because a single, non-essential, missing piece (they tell you right at the top of their shop page) and a personal preference against a design isn't sufficient to justify a change. --[[User:Traumflug|Traumflug]] ([[User talk:Traumflug|talk]]) 05:04, 7 October 2013 (PDT)<br />

<br />
Kossel is a parametric delta robot 3D printer, built in 2012 by [[User:Johann|Johann]] in Seattle, USA, based on his [[Rostock]] prototype.<br />
<br />
It is named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_Kossel Albrecht Kossel], German biochemist and pioneer in the study of genetics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1910 for his work in determining the chemical composition of nucleic acids, the genetic substance of biological cells.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
There are several printers in the Kossel family.<br />
<br />
Legacy Kossel<br />
* Spectra line instead of timing belt.<br />
* 623 bearings running directly on vertical 15 x 15 mm aluminum extrusion like OpenBeam, 6 bearings per carriage.<br />
* PG35L extruder directly on the end effector (moving platform).<br />
* This design is deprecated but the [https://github.com/jcrocholl/kossel/tree/legacy source files] are still available.<br />
<br />
OpenBeam Kossel Pro<br />
* Terence Tam's design for mass manufacturing.<br />
* Successfully funded on [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ttstam/openbeam-kossel-pro-a-new-type-of-3d-printer Kickstarter].<br />
* Stamped and injection molded parts instead of 3D printed.<br />
<br />
Mini Kossel<br />

* Resolution: 100 steps/mm in all 3 directions.<br />
* Repeatability: better than 0.03 mm (30 micron)<br />
* Build volume: cylindrical, 170mm diameter, 240mm height.<br />
* Footprint: triangle, 300 mm width (240mm OpenBeam + printed corners).<br />
* Frame height: 600 mm.<br />
* Print surface: unheated round glass, doesn't move.<br />
* Mass of end effector with hotend: less than 50 grams.<br />
* Simplicity: fewer than 200 parts.<br />
* Hardware cost: less than $600 USD.<br />
* Fully automatic print surface level calibration (autoleveling).<br />
<br />
Optionally scale down to a {{tag|Traveling RepRap}} that fits within IATA hand luggage size limit (see [[transportation]]):<br />
* Frame height: 550 mm.<br />
* Footprint: triangle, 270 mm width, 250 mm across (210mm 15 x 15 mm aluminum extrusion like OpenBeam + printed corners).<br />

<br />
[http://builda3dprinter.eu/ Kossel mini build instruction]<br />
<br />
=== Autolevel probe ===<br />
<br />
X_MAX, Y_MAX, Z_MAX top endstops: NC (Normally Connected). M119 for these should show:<br />
* TRIGGERED when the carriage touches the endstop.<br />
* open during normal operation.<br />
<br />
Z_MIN autolevel probe: NO (Normally Open). M119 for Z_MIN should show:<br />
* TRIGGERED when the autolevel probe is retracted (up).<br />
* open when the autolevel probe is deployed (down).<br />
* TRIGGERED when the autolevel probe touches the print surface.<br />
<br />
Make sure that M119 does NOT show X_MIN or Y_MIN, if it does you must change them to -1 in Marlin/pins.h.<br />

<br />
Connect Viki J2 to Azteeg EXP3 port like this:<br />
* +5V to +5V (red)<br />
* GND to GND (black)<br />
* SDA to SDA (blue)<br />
* SCL to SCL (green)<br />
* ENC_A to D22 (white)<br />
* ENC_B to D7 (yellow)<br />
<br />
Connect Viki J3 to Azteeg ICSP port like this:<br />
* CS to CHIP SELECT (D53) (red)<br />
* BTN to D32 on EXP2 (optional) (black)<br />
* DI to MOSI (blue)<br />
* CLK to SCK (green)<br />
* DO to MISO (white)<br />
* CD to CARD DETECT (D49)(yellow)<br />
<br />
CS (D53) and CD (D49) are directly next to the ICSP port, under the expansion shield.<br />
<br />
BTN is for the pause/stop/resume LCD button (kill switch). We recommend not connecting it and using a power switch for emergency stop instead. If you do want to use it, it should be connected to the Arduino BTN_ENC pin. Otherwise set BTN_ENC to -1 if not used.<br />
<br />
This uses the [https://github.com/lincomatic/LiquidTWI2 LiquidTWI2 library] v1.2.3 or later. Copy the LiquidTWI2 directory into the Arduino libraries subdirectory (something like /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/LiquidTWI2, just next to the existing LiquidCrystal folder). If you end up with a directory named "LiquidTWI2-master" then remove the "-master" part.<br />
<br />
If you get compile errors in Wire.h, try Arduino version 0023.<br />
<br />
In Marlin/Configuration.h uncomment or adjust the following lines:<br />
* #define MOTHERBOARD 33 // Azteeg X3<br />
* #define SDSUPPORT true<br />
* #define LCD_I2C_VIKI<br />
<br />
In Marlin/pins.h under MOTHERBOARD == 33 adjust the following lines:<br />
* #define SDSS 53<br />
* #define SDCARDDETECT 49<br />
* #define BTN_EN1 22<br />
* #define BTN_EN2 7<br />
* #define BTN_ENC 31<br />
<br />
Disconnect solder jumper JP12 at bottom of Azteeg X3 to disable onboard SD slot and use pins for external SD reader (Viki LCD SD slot).<br />

'''This article is about the MendelMax 1.x, see [[MendelMax 2]] for it's successor.'''<br />

<br />
= Overview =<br />
MendelMax (MM) is an Open Source [http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page RepRap] 3D printer designed by Maxbots in December 2011. It is a true reprap, using printed brackets, but instead of using threaded rod for the structural elements it uses inexpensive aluminum extrusions. This gives a huge increase in rigidity for a minimal extra cost (Self sourcing will cost about $80 more than a standard Prusa when purchased from the recommended suppliers). The required extrusions are available world wide from a variety of suppliers. <br />
[[File:MendelMaxPhoto.JPG|thumb|250px|A prototype of the MendelMax RepRap 3d Printer]]<br />
<br />
MendelMax is based on the [[Prusa Mendel]], and keeps its best parts. The Prusa Mendel kept the frame of the Sells Mendel, but fixed the problems in the X,Y and Z axes. MendelMax 1.0 builds on that by largely keeping the current XYZ axes, but completely redesigning the frame.<br />
<br />
In addition to the increased rigidity, the printer is much easier to assemble than a standard Prusa. Even an inexperienced builder should have no trouble building the whole frame in an evening, two at most. And along with the easy assembly comes easy hackability. Almost any part on the bot can be removed with just a few screws, so swapping out literally any part on the bot is now a trivial operation. <br />
<br />
The X axis is taken stock from the [[Prusa Mendel]], in fact we don't even specify a specific X axis design, there are several good ones available, including the various vertically-oriented X axis designs that many people are exploring lately. As long as it sticks to the defined standard spacing between the Z rod and the Z leadscrew, it will work fine with MendelMax. We also use the standard Prusa Y design (For version 1.0), though we simplify it just a bit by making it easier to get everything aligned right. Z adds optional thrust bearings to support the weight of the axis (greatly reducing the problems with printed couplers), but this is a purely optional upgrade, and you can easily use the old design if you prefer. <br />
<br />
Because MendelMax is primarily defining a new frame design, it is linear-bearing agnostic. I have used both LM8UU's and PTFE bushings and both work just fine. Brass or even printed bushings could be used, though I recommend avoiding the latter for highest reliability.<br />
<br />
The current revision as of July 17 2012 shipping as kits from the official MM store is conisidered the MM 1.5+. It uses a linear slide for a Y axis rather than polished rods to give the heaviest axis a smoother motion and seems to have cleaned things up greatly. Also different from earlier models the steppers controlling the Z axis have been moved from the top of the printer to the base.<br />

= Overview =<br />
MendelMax (MM) is an Open Source [http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page RepRap] 3D printer designed by Maxbots in December 2011. It is a true reprap, using printed brackets, but instead of using threaded rod for the structural elements it uses inexpensive aluminum extrusions. This gives a huge increase in rigidity for a minimal extra cost (Self sourcing will cost about $80 more than a standard Prusa when purchased from the recommended suppliers). The required extrusions are available world wide from a variety of suppliers. <br />
[[File:MendelMaxPhoto.JPG|thumb|250px|A prototype of the MendelMax RepRap 3d Printer]]<br />
<br />
MendelMax is based on the [[Prusa Mendel]], and keeps its best parts. The Prusa Mendel kept the frame of the Sells Mendel, but fixed the problems in the X,Y and Z axes. MendelMax 1.0 builds on that by largely keeping the current XYZ axes, but completely redesigning the frame.<br />
<br />
In addition to the increased rigidity, the printer is much easier to assemble than a standard Prusa. Even an inexperienced builder should have no trouble building the whole frame in an evening, two at most. And along with the easy assembly comes easy hackability. Almost any part on the bot can be removed with just a few screws, so swapping out literally any part on the bot is now a trivial operation. <br />
<br />
The X axis is taken stock from the [[Prusa Mendel]], in fact we don't even specify a specific X axis design, there are several good ones available, including the various vertically-oriented X axis designs that many people are exploring lately. As long as it sticks to the defined standard spacing between the Z rod and the Z leadscrew, it will work fine with MendelMax. We also use the standard Prusa Y design (For version 1.0), though we simplify it just a bit by making it easier to get everything aligned right. Z adds optional thrust bearings to support the weight of the axis (greatly reducing the problems with printed couplers), but this is a purely optional upgrade, and you can easily use the old design if you prefer. <br />
<br />
Because MendelMax is primarily defining a new frame design, it is linear-bearing agnostic. I have used both LM8UU's and PTFE bushings and both work just fine. Brass or even printed bushings could be used, though I recommend avoiding the latter for highest reliability.<br />
<br />
The current revision as of July 17 2012 shipping as kits from the official MM store is conisidered the MM 1.5+. It uses a linear slide for a Y axis rather than polished rods to give the heaviest axis a smoother motion and seems to have cleaned things up greatly. Also different from earlier models the steppers controlling the Z axis have been moved from the top of the printer to the base.<br />

<br />
These pages are the complete instructions for building, commissioning and using the [http://reprappro.com/ RepRapPro Ltd] version of RepRap Huxley.<br />
<br />
Like all RepRap machines, [http://reprappro.com/Huxley RepRapPro Huxley] is fully open-source. It is licenced under the GPL. All the design files and software are available from the [https://github.com/reprappro RepRapPro Ltd Github] repository. And it is [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16625 here in the Thingiverse] and [http://www.rascomras.com/doc/127/reprappro-huxley-completa.html in RAScomRAS]<br />
<br />
If you want to print the plastic parts for a RepRapPro Huxley, [[How_to_Print_RepRapPro_Huxley|see this wiki page]].<br />
<br />
=General notes=<br />
<br />
Give yourself plenty of space and ensure your work area is clean. Dust and dirt are a 3D printer's worst enemy.<br />
All printed parts have been printed on various RepRap machines from suppliers within the RepRap community. Despite the fact that these machines are highly tuned RepRap 3D printers, some holes and features may need a little fettling to get the best performance from the RepRapPro Huxley. This is especially true for the Igus bushings used for the Z axis. There is a video how-to on fettling 3D printed parts [http://vimeo.com/14492980 here on Vimeo]. Don't fettle the 3mm holes on the [http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/thumb/5/5a/Reprappro-huxley-x-carriage.jpg/150px-Reprappro-huxley-x-carriage.jpg Huxley-X-carriage] though (we changed the assembly screws without changing the drawing)!<br />
<br />
Before you start the build, please ensure you have all the components as listed on the packing list included in the kit. If anything is missing, please contact us via email: [[File:reprappro-em.png|150px]]<br />
<br />
We understand that people may want to change aspects of the machine's design, and in fact we encourage this as it is one of the benefits of open source development. Before changing anything, please be aware that the RepRapPro Huxley has been designed to maximise the build volume relative to the the machine's footprint, and as such many of its components fit closely to others. So consider your changes carefully before you try to implement them. And when you find improvements, please tell us so that we can include them in future kits, and so that existing owners can upgrade their own machines.<br />
<br />
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE ANY PART OF THE RepRapPro HUXLEY 3D PRINTER, PLEASE READ THESE BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FULLY AND ENSURE YOU UNDERSTAND THEM. Although all parts are covered by warranty, this will be invalidated by your not following these build instructions.<br />
<br />
The RepRapPro Huxley is a robust RepRap machine once assembled; however it does require a certain amount of care during assembly. If in doubt, force is usually not the answer! There are many ways to get support and advice; see the Get Support section below.<br />

= Overview =<br />
MendelMax (MM) is an Open Source [http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page RepRap] 3D printer designed by Maxbots in December 2011. It is a true reprap, using printed brackets, but instead of using threaded rod for the structural elements it uses inexpensive aluminum extrusions. This gives a huge increase in rigidity for a minimal extra cost (Self sourcing will cost about $80 more than a standard Prusa when purchased from the recommended suppliers). The required extrusions are available world wide from a variety of suppliers. <br />

<br />
MendelMax is based on the [[Prusa Mendel]], and keeps its best parts. The Prusa Mendel kept the frame of the Sells Mendel, but fixed the problems in the X,Y and Z axes. MendelMax 1.0 builds on that by largely keeping the current XYZ axes, but completely redesigning the frame.<br />
<br />
In addition to the increased rigidity, the printer is much easier to assemble than a standard Prusa. Even an inexperienced builder should have no trouble building the whole frame in an evening, two at most. And along with the easy assembly comes easy hackability. Almost any part on the bot can be removed with just a few screws, so swapping out literally any part on the bot is now a trivial operation. <br />
<br />
The X axis is taken stock from the [[Prusa Mendel]], in fact we don't even specify a specific X axis design, there are several good ones available, including the various vertically-oriented X axis designs that many people are exploring lately. As long as it sticks to the defined standard spacing between the Z rod and the Z leadscrew, it will work fine with MendelMax. We also use the standard Prusa Y design (For version 1.0), though we simplify it just a bit by making it easier to get everything aligned right. Z adds optional thrust bearings to support the weight of the axis (greatly reducing the problems with printed couplers), but this is a purely optional upgrade, and you can easily use the old design if you prefer. <br />
<br />
Because MendelMax is primarily defining a new frame design, it is linear-bearing agnostic. I have used both LM8UU's and PTFE bushings and both work just fine. Brass or even printed bushings could be used, though I recommend avoiding the latter for highest reliability.<br />
<br />
The current revision as of July 17 2012 shipping as kits from the official MM store is conisidered the MM 1.5+. It uses a linear slide for a Y axis rather than polished rods to give the heaviest axis a smoother motion and seems to have cleaned things up greatly. Also different from earlier models the steppers controlling the Z axis have been moved from the top of the printer to the base.<br />
