I bought a K8200 3Dprinter kit . If i assemble and install it correctly, will it work or it need to something else like hardware , software , firmware …?
I am going to take it to a far place and maybe I would not be able to access to seller and internet.
If I need something , Please let me know and take with me.
thanks
You will need the things mentioned in the manual to get the printer running.
This includes the Driver, repieter-host and the PLA and ABS configuration files.
Also look for the designs for upgrading the printer, like:
-a better fan nozzle,
-elektronics cover with cooling fan. (you wil have to get an extra fan)
-better z-motor mount. (and screws to mount it)
-flex coupling for Z-motor
-some pieces of glass or mirror to get a perfect flat printing surface.
-something to get the material stick better to the bed, most used things are hairspray, bleu painters tape, white glue, kapton tape and many others.
The power supply can’t get the bed to the higher temps that are needed to print ABS so a lot of people install an adittional 24V power supply for heating the bed.
I got the printer working with only the basic setup and printed lots of stuff.
But if you want better quality you will need upgrades.
I did the things mentioned above and some cable chains, cable clamps, filament spool bearings, changed belts and pulley’s to gt2.
Read through the complete forum and see how others upgraded their printer.
Then decide if you will need it.
and take a lot of designs with you for printing because if you don’t have internet, you won’t be able to download them from thingiverse. i can reccomend also a spatula
like this one
it helped me a lot for prying the prints of the blue painterstape and mirror
thank you very much
