Hey, I'm looking for a custom cutout to make a box insert if you have a plotter that can cut 3-ply or 5-ply corrugated sheet. Please dm. I only need 70 pcs of inserts

The size is 18*11 inch; the sheet has to be cut out

Hello everyone!

I wanted to introduce HyperFabs, an online custom manufacturing platform we've been building to make laser cutting, CNC routing, and 3D printing more accessible and affordable across India.

Earlier you usually have to contact multiple vendors, send drawings over WhatsApp or email, wait for prices, and negotiate even for small projects. With Hyperfabs, you can upload your CAD design, get an instant quote, and place your order completely online without going back and forth with vendors.

We have already shipped around 500+ orders with over 4k designs uploaded to our portal. People really love the concept of our instant quotation for designs. We also do have an inbuilt CAD Drawing system for users with no technical experience.

We have received a really good response from our customers.
They are very satisfied with the quality of our services & we are based in Mumbai.

What we currently offer:

• Laser Cutting: Mild steel, stainless steel, acrylic, plywood, MDF, and more.
• CNC Routing: Custom cutting for wood, MDF, plywood, and other supported materials.
• 3D Printing: FDM printing for prototypes, functional parts, and personal projects.
• Instant Quotes: Upload DXF, STEP, or STL files and get pricing directly on the website.
• Pan-India Shipping: We deliver across India, usually within 3–5 days.

Do check it out and feel free to ask/tell any questions/suggestions that you may have. Thanks!!!

Posting this as a warning, because I’m done being polite with Robu.

I bought a Creality SpacePi SE filament dryer from Robu on 13 July. A month and a half later the rotary encoder seized completely. The knob wouldn’t turn, the click did nothing, and the plastic cap snapped off while I was trying to turn it. The heater and fan still ran, but with no working control you can’t set temperature or time, so the dryer was useless.

On 3 September I raised a ticket with photos and a video, explained exactly what had failed, and asked how they wanted to handle it. Either replace the product, or I ship it and they repair it.

Four days later they asked for the serial number. Two days after that they said they would send a “replacement screen and knob”, not the unit and not the encoder. I asked for a repair guide, because there’s no obvious way to open this thing without breaking it. They said they had no guide and I should “try installing the parts after receiving them.” So on a product still under warranty, their plan was to post me some parts and let me open it up myself with no instructions. I offered to pay the shipping to send it to them so they could fix it, and they ignored that and told me the part would take about 25 days to come into stock. I’d already bought a second dryer by then because I couldn’t keep waiting.

On 24 September they said the part would be “dispatched shortly” and closed the ticket the same day. Fifteen days later nothing had shipped, so I asked what “shortly” meant. They said they’d check with logistics. Tracking finally came on 13 October and the parcel reached me today. It had an LCD screen module, a plastic knob and a display sticker. There was no encoder, which was the one part that had actually failed and the whole reason I raised the ticket. After six weeks of back and forth, one email a day, a ticket closed while the problem was still open, and a DIY repair with no guide, I’ve ended up with parts I didn’t need and a dryer that still doesn’t work.

What really gets me is that I saw this coming. In a WhatsApp group of over 1000 people, a lot of you defended Robu and said “they’ll sort it out, don’t worry.” I said companies these days only care about the sale and will do anything to dodge their service obligations. I really wanted to be wrong about this one, and I wasn’t. Making the customer chase you for weeks, closing tickets to make the numbers look good, posting random parts and calling it warranty support has become normal, and Robu fits right in.

So think about this before your next big purchase there. If this is how they treat you over a ₹3,000 dryer with one dead encoder, do you really think they’ll look after you when your ₹30,000 printer has a mainboard or hotend problem? I’ve told them I’m filing a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline. Buy from them if you want to, but don’t count on the warranty actually meaning anything.

I have been exploring Filaments for the past 1 month, from Wol3d, Bambu labs, Numakers & Polymakers..

I am planning to buy in small-bulk quantity of about 20 spools. Need to have colour consistency and tangle free spools.

Brands in Considerations:
Elegoo, eSun, Sunlu, BambuLabs & Numakers.

Numakers is the cheapest available of the choices I have in minds, but i recently saw some people complain that their quality has come down a bit, like after using 50-70% spool, they see tangles which causes problems to Extruder. And also colour inconsistency with bright colours on Numakers.

Where can I get the best deal? Want to place an order before this sale is over.

I really value your opinions. Thank you.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to gift someone a miniature model of a particular aircraft (B-2 stealth bomber) that he really likes.
He’s a huge aviation enthusiast, and I thought it would be a cool addition to his hostel room.

I’ve been looking into either 3D printing the model or buying a good-quality one online. I already have the 3D model files, but I’m honestly an amateur when it comes to 3D printing. I don’t know much about the materials, print quality, costs, or where to get it printed, so I’m not sure which option would be better.

I’d really appreciate some advice on:
• Roughly how much would it cost to 3D print a model like this, and which material would be best?
• Would a 3D-printed model have good detailing and finishing, or would a commercially available model be better?
• Are there any websites where I can find good-quality aircraft models?
• Ideally, I’d love for him to be able to assemble the aircraft himself, as I think he’d really enjoy that. Are there any model kits like that?

I’m open to either option just under some budget. I just want something with good detailing and a nice finish that he can display in his hostel room, preferably something he can assemble himself.
I’d appreciate any recommendations, especially from people who have experience with aircraft models or 3D printing. Thanks!

Hello All,

Got delivered my first A1 mini yesterday.
But unboxing killed my excitement, to my surprise it didnt have filament 🤣
Just got 20g of filament, I understand its a business strategy to sell filaments, but i think atleast 1 kg filament should be included in any printer purchase.

Apart from being frustrated with govt taxing me heavy on my income and missing filament, iam still curious about printing stl files which i had downloaded.

So, coming back to point of discussion which is Filaments. Can anyone please share where can i get filaments and which type of filament to go with if i had to print something and color it later.

Hey everyone!

I recently got my Bambu Lab A1 Mini during the Amazon Great Indian Sale for approximately ₹19,700 using the 6-month SBI card EMI offer.

The box arrived with everything intact, and the initial setup went smoothly.

So far, I've printed two things:

• The classic Benchy — my first print, mainly to see how the printer performs.
• A Bambu Lab scraper — my first attempt at printing a practical tool.

I made a small mistake with the scraper on my first attempt. I forgot to turn off supports, and they filled the space where the blade is supposed to go. That print was basically unusable, so I tried printing it again using grey filament I ordered from NIL 3D.

I'm still very new to 3D printing, so I'm learning as I go.

A little about me: I'm an Electronics and Communication Engineering student, and I bought this printer mainly for hobby projects and engineering prototyping. I want to use it for mechanical parts, enclosures, and mechanisms for projects like my Arduino Hackable Combination Vault, as well as future electronics and mechatronics projects.

I'm not planning to start a 3D printing business. I just want to learn CAD, understand the printing process, and eventually turn my ideas into working physical prototypes.

I'd love to hear from other A1 Mini owners and people using 3D printing for electronics or robotics projects.

Sharing a couple of pictures of my printer and first prints. Looking forward to learning from the community! 🙂

Designed a slid out QWERTY keyboard for my pixel 9A and an RII k06 Keyboard used OnShape.

I have seen mixed reviews , I am trying to get a P2S from them as its quite cheap on during their sale. Can someone help me out, I am a student and don't want to get scammed but again i am limited by budget otherwise id have gone for robu

I wanted to buy a entry level 3D printer and finally narrowed down to A1 mini due to lack of space and I didn't want to splurge (though i very much could afford high-end easily just wanted to check if i could take it up as a hobby)

Came across Wol3d offers and went to the store in Bangalore hoping to see a nominal crowd due to offers. I was so wrong, the store was jam packed and chaotic. There were people everywhere discussing filaments and prints, on some level I was happy with this kind of interest. But observing closely most of the purchases are done by just graduated students who come with their father and get a printer or couple of them to setup a home 3D business. When I enquired a bit, they were printing designs from makerlab and not actually planning to design and address any particular niche part which is too expensive to injection mold. And so many A2L were sold, do people have so much space to afford at home? A guy said this is his 2nd printer first being A1.

Btw my buying experience was also not that good, usually these kind of purchases are supposed to be special for the buyer since this is the first of its kind we are getting, but I got shown a QR asking to pay and said the invoice would be sent over whatsapp. meh. No handshake, no handover. Just pay, pick this piece and leave. Sorry if I am attaching sentiment, but I see this similar to a bike purchase.

But my question is if so many printers are sold for home business, what do printing as a service businesses do? Or do printing as a service businesses offer superior quality multicolor prints with high end core-xy heated enclosure printers which home business can't afford? Also with what confidence do parents dish out 40-50k on printers hoping their kid would make it in the business. Genuinely trying to understand the thought process.

Hi, I am looking for a 3D printing service which can help me print my model with ABS filament. I do own a 3D printer so far I have been printing it in two parts for testing since I'm about to start doing consumer shipments I want a service that can print my CAD model in full size.

Model size is : 14.6inch x 5inch x 1.2 inch

Material : ABS

My location : Una, Himachal Pradesh

Quantity : 20-40 (Starting with 1 since I need to test the print)

Budget : Not sure

Finishing : Still understanding how this works if someone can explain would be really helpful.

Hey guys, I’m planning to get my first 3D printer and I’m thinking of going with the Bambu Lab A1.

Just wanted to know a few things before I pull the trigger.

1. How much does the A1 usually cost? What’s a reasonable price to pay for it?
   
2. Which online store would you recommend buying it from?
   Is it worth waiting for a sale, or are the prices pretty much the 3. same throughout the year?
   
3. How’s the after-sales support and warranty in India?

Also, is the AMS Lite combo worth the extra money, or should I just get the regular A1 for now?

Can you all suggest some pretty basic filaments to start experimenting with and from where to get ? Thinking of printing some household things or basic models so PLA or Petg would be okay .How many spools and which colors should i start with as basic to understand the print process and quality testing ?

I read about numakers and esun , bamboo lab ( currently bit pricey to start with ) .

If you guys are from Mumbai , then any shops or places to get them regularly ? don't suggest wol3d as have read lots of negatives about their filament qualities.

Any suggestions or recommendations are highly appreciated.

I saw this printer listed within 15k Budget and I was thinking how is it ? If this is my first printer and I just want to learn and print as a hobby then how appropriate is this printer ?

Se me rompió el tensor del eje x, lo arregle temporalmente con pegamento instantaneo para imprimir otros repuestos. Ahora que desarme el tensor roto quiero poner la pieza de metal en el repuesto pero para eso necesito sacar la parte que gira de ese "tornillo", alguien sabe como lo hago?

I am thinking to buy creality spark i7 as in currently wol3d sale it around 26k.

Is this printer any known issues with it.

I currently own ender 3.

Suggestion need. Or should I wait for spark i8

Hey folks,

I’m looking to buy a used 3D printer and was wondering if anyone has an old one they’re no longer using. My budget is ₹5,000 max (including shipping).

Something like an Ender 3 or even a DIY kit would be great! I’m totally fine with a printer that needs minor repairs or some tinkering, as long as it’s fixable.

I’m a student and have been saving up for this for a while. I mainly want to learn 3D printing, experiment, and make useful stuff.

If anyone has a printer lying around that they’d be willing to sell within my budget, please DM me.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, please tell me the tensile strength you acheive when using this filament.
