When you source all your parts for this printer, nobody tells you that you're gonna need to re-tool literally every single surface of every part during the process. What should have taken maybe 3-4hrs took about 10 hours... So my printer is for sale due to extenuating moving circumstances. Very sad to see it go so soon (barely 2 weeks old and built with much love), but unfortunately I had to make the difficult decision. I've printed a total of about 1.5lb of ABS with it so it's basically brand new. More details will come soon, but I'm selling it for a little less than cost, $600 (local in San Francisco preferred unless you want to pay obscene shipping charges) Kysan NEMA 17 steppers, Sanguinololu with genuine polo drivers, full bearings, aluminum Z-couplers, 20 tooth GT2 pulleys and belt, the best hot end out there (0.4mm from HotEnds.com), it comes with all the parts including spare parts and hardware needed to build a RepRap PRUSA 2. I'll even give you my 5/16" drill bit (it's extremely useful). You also get a new 2.2lb spool of ABS which is $44 alone. It's really worth $800 or more. I'm getting an average print speed of about 100mm/sec with a max of around 170mm/sec. It can probably go faster but you'd need to brace the printer as it starts jostling around under the torque of the steppers.
