I just bought a CTC too..

I'm curious where you use a "Bowden cable" ??
Our printer does Not have or need one, that I know about ?

Do you mean the Guide-tubes, that filament goes thru, to extruders. ??
I noticed that they have been leaving Those off of latest printers sold on eBay,
and are really Needed !
I guess sellers are trying to reduce cost of assembly every way they can
and that is an Easy one. 'For Shame' sellers ! !

Yeah, they are called Bowden cables generally, they are just a teflon tubing but even my crappy $300 prusa came with them, it's not like they don't buy it in a 50 metre length and cut it to size, just thought it was very cheap.

I have given the supplier a list of all my issues, I think I scared him tho because now they won't respond

I found that the original CTC-bizer is Still available on eBay at the $409. total cost.
Looks like it still has All the parts, such as guide-tubes and metal-pulleys ?

Sounds like you guys are paying More for Less printer !
(If the pictures on eBay are Still Correct ?? )

No, with currency conversion that costs me AU$540.84 + he doesn't ship to AU, and the ones that do (that are not asian based) charge over $100 for shipping, so I am actually paying less, with refund the printer cost me AU$547 including shipping (5 day shipping!!!)

The last time I ordered a printer from the UK it was 8 weeks, and from the U.S it took over 6 weeks But from China, 5 days.
