Alright kids, this deal is complicated, so pay attention:

1. Right now IN STORE ONLY, Micro Center has the Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer on sale for $200.
2. New customers can get a $100 off coupon TEXTED to them on the 3 Pro at this link (use a new email and phone number if you are already a MC customer) https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/specialoffer3dprinter.aspx

This is a favorite 3D printer by many. You can get lots of aftermarket accessories like $59 laser engraver heads for it. Kids will have 10 of these things running simultaneously manufacturing gun parts for schoolmates. 8.6 x 8.6x 9.8" printing area.

Yeah it's sad, MC is the last national computer chain standing.

If you know anyone in these states that can pick a few up for you:

You can get any color 1.75mm filament to use as is

You can of course modify the unit to use other size filaments

They text it to you.

So if you gave a fake phone #, you'll have to do it again with a new email address.

I'm a terrible guy, but you might want to watch the video of the kids using a dozen of these machines to make their custom nerf guns in school

I keep telling people to put me on ignore

I told you guys in the first post it was complicated and to pay attention.

Its on sale for $199 in store, then you get an additional $100 off with the unique code you are texted.

So your net price is $100, plus any applicable taxes......

You'd have a heart attack if you ever built a home CNC kit

The one my buddy got at a chain woodworking store, you had to tap your own threads.

I lent him my tap kit, but I was wondering how many US residents have a set of metric taps?

The "bonus" spindle did not come with any hi-flex cable, or termination rings. I gave him a length of cable I had left over from my Mech-mate.

I could see this being a disaster for someone of limited mechanical skills....

Crazy for $2900

Can't you just use the gear/bearing puller from your bike cycle?

Or just Dremel the plastic gear down one side so it splits off?

Even if it s brass, put the thin cut off wheel in the Dremel, and cut between the splines, in a straight line

Or if you have a nut splitter, put a 1/4" ratchet on it, it will pop right off

Slide the new gear onto the shaft, and just gently tighten the set screw to give you your mark

Use a file, or Dremel and make yourself a flat spot on the shaft, just larger than the setscrew

Use 1/10 of a drop of blue loctite on a toothpick to lock it in place

You kinda picture a bunch of well dressed Japanese businessmen yelling "Bukkake!!!"

The trains are like a Japanese "people of walmart" at night

In NYC people would pee on them, but in Japan, people just politely look away from the drunken "salarymen"
