This is a kit with plenty rooms of customization for your liking and might take you 2~5 working days of assembly and tuning, according to customers' feedback. Even the designer needs 8~10 working hours to complete it.
This printer won't be friendly if you're new to FDM 3D printing. To make it print you need all these knowledge and skills which result in steep learning curve: common sense of mechanical skill and material strength, basic electronics, knowledge of slicing, machine tuning and maintenance.
You can use your preferred slicer and compile a customized firmware with parameters. Please note the performance of printer might differ depending on your assembly and tuning. With Volcano hotend and proper tuning, conservatively you'll get decent prints over 100mm/s.
Please also check the latest Assembly Manual on SecKit's GitHub repository and see if you're OK with the whole assembly. Also welcome join SecKit group and check owners' sharing. Happy 3D printing!
Thank for all your liking but I'm sorry SecKit is still a 1-man business doing everything so shipping won't be that fast. Kits will be sent in groups of 20 orders because of my limited stamina and warehouse size and hope I can deliver a group each 1~2 weeks.
Please understand sometimes there will be unexpected surprises such as suppliers sending wrong compnents, logistics or custom clearance problem. I'll pipeline them as well as I can and will email status updates to you frequently.
SK-Go² can do decent prints, but it has too many components to be assembled by owners and to be prepared by me. As suggested by the community 3 suites were created and hope they'll help accelerate shipping. Meanwhile, I need a new model with less components while maintaining the same print quality.
Not being arrogant, if you want a printer in a hurry or the best customer service, I'd suggest you to choose printers from other well-developed brands. I just don't want your to wait so long. 😅🙏
(Feb 10th) After discussion with the community, the revealed SK-Cube might bring endless customer service requests due to imperfect sheet metal manufacturing, so I'm turning it back to an aluminum extrusion frame. Hopefully a prototype can be revealed after Chinese New Year vacation (now until Feb 16th).
If you're interested in the new model or beta testing, please click and fill this 3-min questionnaire below. I'll update the status of new design to you via the email address you fill in. 😄
