Testing waters to sell some of my production machines

Post by insta » Mon Sep 07, 2020 3:31 pm

I've got 6 of these workhorses that have served me well for years, but my printing seems to be moving in the industrial material space (ULTEM & up) and shrinking, so 6 is too many. I'm not in a huge hurry to let any of these babies go, but just seeing if anybody is interested in them.

I have 5x 1.75 machines, and a single 2.85 machine with a Volcano. They are all Rev E-ish. They are all used for tens (if not hundreds) of miles of filament, and as such kinda dusty in the places that collect dust, and greasy in the places that collect grease. They are otherwise well maintained, and all are in active duty in some capacity.

The 1.75 machines:
* Archim2 board with TMC5160 drivers running Klipper
* Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint (no webcam installed)
* BLTouch auto-bed leveling
* Latest cable management and strain relief installed
* Brand new belts, pulleys, and linear slides (will be installed before shipping, so the brandest of brand new)
* Filament runout sensor hardware installed -- I never got it working with Klipper though, so you'd need to run Marlin to make it work
* Will include spare hotend and glass bed
* Will include spare printed parts for extruder and bed hold-down clamps
* Asking $1300 each plus whatever actual shipping cost is

The 2.85 machine:
* RAMBo board
* Bed-detect homing (Z endstop is mounted to the frame and probes the bed itself in the middle) -- very useful for changing bed surfaces without having to adjust any offsets
* Runs an E3D Volcano and 2.85mm filament with a knockoff Bondtech QR extruder
* Includes 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles
* Will include spare glass bed
* Will include spare printed parts for extruder and bed hold-down clamps
* Asking $1200 plus whatever actual shipping cost is

Rick has dibs on one of the machines since it's basically the first M2 he built AFAIK (the blue one)

Last call, these babies are getting boxed up this week for eBay.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I'm interested in upgrading my electronics and didn't realize there was a "sort-of" drop-in solution that I could do. Do you have any information or links you used to do your upgrade to the Archim2 board with TMC5160 drivers? Also, I cant find that board on the ultimaker site, just one with TMC2130 drivers.

Any info that you can give me would really help me out!

... they are TMC2130 drivers, apparently. Its possible I got a "pre-production" run of them.

Anyway, it mostly just drops in. The Viki1 is a lot harder to hook up, so I didn't :lol:
