No we don’t as we don’t user orbiters or enders here so wouldn’t know what you need. But the orbiter Facebook group is where I would go to find out what is needed.
Yes. You can fit almost any extruder to any printer as long as you have the printed mounting parts.
Yes, the address to collect is Visit front reception desk at Click Collective – 15 Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin Vic 3189.
There are a variety of companies in the 3D printing space producing many different machines. While they are complex many printers do have components they share in common.
Motors, belts, pulleys, bearings, linear rails and many others parts are frequently used as the foundation for the kinematic (motion) systems that many printers use.
Print surfaces are another essential component as every printer needs a surface to print onto that will hold the part in place during the printing process. These include glass, buildtak and the more advanced flexible spring steel sheets that are coated with a PEI film or PEI powder coating.
Hotends – every filament-based printer requires a hotend to feed the filament into which heats up and melts the filament as it is being printed.
Extruders – the extruder is responsible for pulling the filament from the spool and feeding it into the hotend to be melted and deposited during the printing process extruders are available for either a bowden or direct drive configuration.
Before you buy any 3D printer parts, it is important to have a clear understanding of what you need and what your machine requires. Not all machines are created equal and some require different or more specific types of parts than others.
The frequency with which you need to replace parts on your 3D printer will depend on the type of machine you have, how often you use it, and the general quality of the parts you have or have purchased previously. In general, however, it is a good idea to keep a few spare parts on hand in case something breaks or wears out.
One of the most common problems people have with 3D printer parts is that they are not compatible with their machine. It is important to do your research and make sure that the parts you are buying will work with your specific model of 3D printer. Another common issue is poor-quality parts that break easily or wear out quickly.
There are a few different places you can look for 3D printer parts. Online retailers like ours at Unique Prints are a great option, as we offer a wide selection of high-quality parts suitable across many different types of 3D printers. You can also check with your local electronics store or hobby shop, though their selection may be more limited as their stock inventory would be more generalised.
The cost of 3D printer parts can vary widely depending on the type and quality of the part. In general, however, you can expect to spend anywhere from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars on individual parts depending on what you need.
The best way to clean 3D printer parts will depend on the individual parts that require cleaning. In-depth articles on cleaning bearings, linear rails, your flexible spring steel build surface and other components will be coming soon.
If you run into any trouble with any component that you have purchased from us, let us know immediately. We are here to help and we stand behind the products that we sell.
In the majority of cases, we do currently or have in the past used ourselves the components that you have purchased from us.
There are a few general ways in which the life of your 3D printer parts can be maximised and prolonged.
Proper handling, installation and configuration will ensure that your parts function as intended.
Additionally, researching what you need and purchasing from reputable shops and vendors will ensure that you are getting high-quality components that are fit for your purpose.
If you take appropriate care with maintenance like cleaning and lubrication (if required) your parts should last for thousands of printing hours in your machine.
The most common 3D printer part failures include clogged nozzles, worn-out extruder motors or gears, and wear and tear on your build or print surface. This can apply to both PEI sheets, glass, buildtak and others.
Improper belt / pulley / idler alignment related issues are also seen frequently. This can result in uneven wear and even damage to your belts if the misalignment is severe enough.
These issues can all be caused by improper setup and configuration of the machine in several areas.
Taking care during assembly or maintenance will largely eliminate these problems.
There are several fields of calibration when it comes to 3D printers.
Mechanical calibration generally only needs to be tuned once and will stay the same as long as everything is fastened tightly.
Brand new belts can sometimes ‘break in’ and stretch a little during their first 10-20 hours of use, once tension is readjusted once after this period they should not change again.
Some of the most popular types of 3D printers include FFF (fused filament fabrication) printers, SLA (stereolithography) printers, and DLP (digital light processing) printers.
FDM/FFF printers are generally the most common. While some SLA printers have come down in price a lot, the materials required for use as well as the hazards posed by the resins they use make them less appropriate for a person that is new to 3D printing. Filament-based printers are just as affordable, come in many varieties and have significantly cheaper materials.
An FFF printer uses filaments made of plastic that are melted and extruded through a nozzle in a layer by layer fasion, to create the printed object. An SLA printer uses a laser to cure a photosensitive resin, layer by layer, to create the desired object.
An FFF printer uses filaments of plastic that are melted and extruded through a nozzle to create the desired object. A DLP printer projects an image of the desired object onto a build platform, curing a photosensitive resin with each exposure.
The type of filament you need to use with your 3D printer will depend on the type of machine you have as well as your specific use case for the part being printed. In general, however, FFF printers are all compatible and can print with a wide variety of materials including PLA, TPU, PETG, ABS and other filament.
The build volume of a 3D printer is the maximum size of an object that can be printed by the machine. An example build area could be 120x120x120mm. This means the largest part you can print will be 120mm long, 120mm wide and 120mm tall.

The layer height of a 3D printer is the thickness of each individual layer that is printed by the machine. This is generally configured and set within the slicing software that you use when preparing your model into a gcode file.
The nozzle diameter of a 3D printer is the width of the opening through which filament is extruded.
The amount of power used by a 3D printer will vary depending on the type and size of the machine. This is affected most by the hotend heater cartridge and bed heater mat, and to a lesser degree the kind of electronics and motors within the printer.
3D printer filament varies widely in price, from around at the cheapest end you may sometimes find most materials like PLA/ABS/PETG from $15 to $50 per kilogram depending type and brand. However if looking at engineering plastics like nylons, carbon fibre, PEKK and PEEK you could be paying anywhere upto $400-500 / kg.
The cost of operating a 3D printer will vary depending on the type and size of the machine, as well as the cost of electricity in your area. In general, however, it may cost between $0.05 and $0.25 per hour to operate a 3D printer. It entirely depends on the power consumption of the machine and your cost per kw/h for electricity.
For example – if your printer draws 200w while printing:
200w x 24 hours = 4800w OR 4.8kw/h
4.8kwh x $0.3 per kwh = $1.44 per day
The type of software that you will be using most often in conjunction with your 3D printer is your slicer. The slicer is what translates a 3d model into movement and device operating instructions for your printer to execute and print your part. The slicer is also where you specify your printing parameters for your object and filament aswell like hotend and bed temperature. Line width, layer height, cooling fan levels and more.
