Right now, it’s all laying in a bin, this first 2 or 3 layers go down fine, then it stops extruding, at first I thought it was a nozzle block, changed the nozzle and tried again, same result, at which point I took off the tpu , and put back the pla , will attempt again next weekend
I was made aware of this forum by my father , with regards to an old posting ( sadly cant find the exact comment...) asking "where to find Prusa i3 mk3 original in SA new or used."
ive been looking to sell mine , its in prestine conditions ( recently serviced), I've had it for 3 years.
looking for a someone that is willing to buy it off me for R10K
please do send me a message if you'd be interested

Bit of a long shot but anyone know where I can find something similar to this? Looking for a heater (with fan) to heat the inside of one of the resin printers. RS Components has but only with international availability. Would prefer local supply.

Yikes... Uhhh, well they are very proud of this:
Only 5 star reviews, all done recently (beginning March till now). Domain seems ancient, created in 2003, but I don't see address info.
Apart from what you can see on the site, not a lot more I know of them. Their prices for the printers are pretty much what you would pay at DIY, little more, little less.
I wouldn't give them R500, too little to go on from my perspective
Thanks, yeah I noticed they are about R1000 cheaper than DIY.Yikes... Uhhh, well they are very proud of this:

I am also a bit suspicious about someone who only has 5 star reviews, lol.
Think I'll just go with the tried and trusted guys (maybe DIY).
Appreciate the advise.
Yeah same here. From what research I have done, it seems to be the best bang for buck with good support online.
The Ender 3 V2 is going for R5000 on hype.co.za and 3dstore.co.za, both have stock but I can't seem to find any reputable reviews on these places being legit.

Great, I figured they are legit. Have not personally bought from them though. Thanks for the confirmation!
I would rather support them before I gamble with Hype
