I booked Kossel 800 3D printer

As I research market more , I notice more and more people jump into trading feild in China , good products are always sold out but poor design products are hard to find customer however paid for advertisement . I start to feel that I should step into product development field , or sooner or later , I can not provide a good products .


Firstly I studied 3D design software : Rhino 3D , which is mainly design for shaping . ( I have no interest to study Pro/E or Solidworks , because those mainly face to molds . I would rather place my design to technician rahter than I involve into the deep sea of molding .


Secondly , I booked the cheapest and still said good quality 3D printer : Kossel 800 , some weeks ago , it is just about USD250 shipped , FDM working method , but able to revise the length / height , or even upgrade as laser cutting machine , CNC machine , PCB printer easily . Another reason is I notice this machine is created by a Chinese talent whom is carefully for his products , his previous products are all good remarks , so he should be a good boy to create Kossel 800. Here is a big picture to show Kossel 800 3D printer .


kossel 800 -1     Until today , I have waited Kossel 800 3D printer for some weeks , some one got the machine yesterday because he booked earlier , he print a gift for his daughter , the 3D output seems good enough .

The Kossel 3D 800 printer’s design and quality should be up to the market’s FDM commercial 3D printer , the difference is just in what material it use . It says that if poor material is also OK , just the model because ugly , have to polish by yourself .


OK , just some days left the machine will come to me , I will upload more news about it .

rear bumper step (3) -12. We use 304 stainless steel in 0.6mm thickness , frosted surface . Before taking to pressing machine , we use laser cutting machine cut the shape . ( no pic , sorry )


3. After pressing , the rear bumper step looks like below picture .


rear bumper step (2) -24. We need to remove the burr and smooth the edge ,  need to polish by workers .


5. After polish , it looks like this in packing desk , looks like almost the same .

Revise the light color of A4L door sill

Some months ago , a customer want to find A4L door sill in white or red color , I looked through the market but only Blue one available . At last , I really hope to help him , so try to revise the light color by myself .


Firstly , I have to buy the blue one .

I tear off the back sticker then I see three items behind.

see these things in front .

I had thought it should be good if by EL light , I bought the red one as sample .


IMG_20140706_231921


 


But when I try to replace the blue one , I found that it is wrong , the film has color itself . The red EL light seems dim .IMG_20140706_231936


 


 


Besides the blue film , I believe it is perfect .

I also prepare a 3W White SMD light , if put behind the film , it is very bright , looks light blue because of the blue film . IMG_20140706_232530


 


I take another picture to prove that .

This is the white SMD light , it is not enough long , but I can purchase longer one .

What a surprised for this blue film , why they don’t use transparent one in black shadow ? IMG_20140706_232854


EL light use 3V , has to install a small relay to emulate the light , so although the light is beautiful , it is not the best choice .     IMG_20140706_233740


I waited some days for my booked LED Plate light , they are various in voltage  , here is 1.9V , 3.7V , 12V , but lighting output is same .  It is the same light as A4L sample now .

(Blue one , which is 100% same as my A4L sample )

(white one )

( in fact , the white one has 9 led beads , it is quite bright )

At last I install the white one back to the A4L door sill ,  it is simple too , I have glue , 3M sticker , just waste some time on it .

However , revise the Audi A4 door sill light is an interesting work but waste time and money .  I have to buy welding tool , LED sample ( the led factory request big money if just buy sample ) , stickers , glue , power bank before start to work . It seems that in fact I pay the value  is more than the products itself . Anyway , at last , my customer is happy to see his white color door sill .


Customer happiness is my happiness , when I get good remark , I think it is worth .   Enjoy !
