HE 3D mega delta printer

[Eildosa]

Hi,

I'd like to buy this 3d printer https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.co...3d-printer-kit
mainly because of his print area.
This would be my first 3d printer.

However "HE 3D mega delta printer" in google yield nothing, do anybody knows this brand?

Thanks.

That, in itself, should tell you something.

it does look pretty flimsy.

Cheap though :-)

So He3D website is called reprap, weird.
On their website the same printer is sold 999$ I wonder how the other website can sell them cheaper.

I found it here : http://www.reprapmall.com/index.php?...product_id=117

I think I'm going to get one.

Also, reading it, I think there is a (more than) slight issue : at Z max (600m), you can print a single point on the plane since the arms are at the axis extremity. The practical Z max is probably 10cm/15cm below.... just saying.

Now that I read more thoroughly, it says the borosilicate glass print bed is diameter 180mm ... while the announced print plane is 280mm diameter ????

OK, now I'm really laughing : Polycarbonate ? You need temps over 300°C to do that. The price of such a hotend would be a quarter of the total. AND the description says the hotends contains Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) for which all other OEMs advise to not go over 245°C, because over that it melts... an undesireable effect for a hotend.

It also says flexible PLA.... with a bowden tube this is not exactly the ideal combo.

... A lot of inconsistancies !! Probably not a bad machine, but certainly don't believe everything it says.

Well thanks for the infos

On the other end I found the manufacturer page (the printer is actually called a DLT 600) and their spec seems to be ok, for some reason the specs on the other website are wrong :
http://www.reprap.cn/he3d-bigger-siz...-kit-p-99.html

Print plate: high borosilicate glass 310 mm in diameter
No mention of Polycarbonate printing capability.

certainly cheap enough.

I'd be slightly concerned about the length and thinness of the outer frame.
Looks like there could be vibration and wobble.
But no expert on deltas - so could just as well be perfectly fine :-)
