Hi

Im now an authorised dealer for Wanhao 3D Printers and filaments

Theres a good choice in the D4 range

Double or single extruder

Enclosed Case (D4X)

Frame made in the following

Wood
Transparent Acrylic
Black Acrylic
Black Steel (D4S)

my preference is the acrylic and steel, as you dont have expansion problems with the frame that can affect the calibration

Im finalising prices, but will keep them as low as possible,

question is, what would you like me to stock ?

of course I will be getting lot of filament too ;)
ABS / PLA, what colours do you want me to stock ?


please let me know
Many Thanks
Phil

I';d be interested in the cheapest case that doesn';t have expansion problems.

I';d want to know what the advantages are of a double extruder and if it';s worth the extra cost.

No plans to rush out and buy one myself in the immediate future but it';s definitely on my ';want'; list.
One circlip short of a quadcopter.
 1 lobe short of an antenna.

I use the wood framed Wanhao, bought over a year ago now, and it has exhibited zero issues with warping or expansion that I';ve been able to detect.  So my personal view is not to worry too much about that.  I did want the black acrylic, purely for looks, but the seller was out of stock at the time and I was unaware of other choices back then, maybe there werent'; that many sellers?

Filament colours - Black, Red, Orange, Green would be my suggestions. Perhaps White if thats not getting too many.

Spares?  From personal experience I';d hold a couple of Thermocouple cables - I had both mine go in short time. But after printing and fitting a cable guide mod to the hot end carriage they';ve been absolutely fine to date.  I think they don';t like being bent/flexed continually as they were at the point where the cable enters the carriage.

Some flex filament would be nice Phil if you could wangle some at a reasonable price. I know margins are probably tight so don';t expect much movement but £33 for 750g is just on the wrong side of expensive. At  some point I';ll probably also dabble in the UV filament as well.
Hardest part I guess is keeping it cheap and getting delivery charges right what with weight not being on your side.

BTW Danny, which mod option did you use for the cabling mate? I';ve seen several, some which require further bits and couplings which I';m not sure where to chase down. Pretty much like everything else  :laugh: It was my intention to design my own as I';m getting to be quite the dab hand at sketchup and 123D Design now. Probably now worth re-inventing the wheel if it';s already been done to a good standard.

Would be real nice to see prices on full ready to run printer

Im just trying to sort prices out, as at the moment, even with the dealer discounts, the shipping is horrendous, and by the time i pay import duty on them, they will be more expensive than some on ebay, so got to beat the price down a bit, i can only assume there are people out there not paying the import duty etc, so they can sell them cheaper

im working on it though, as want to make this happen :D

Many Thanks

What made you want to sell this particular printer over the others out there? What is the 30secs elevator pitch here?

The one I used is no longer on Thingiverse!  Here it is, in ZIP file, hope you can open it okay.
