Historic - Supplier Review: Nophead - Plastics

Please note this review is from my original build in 2011.
Some of the sellers no longer trade and where the seller is still trading the items will likely have changed.
Nophead

RepRap Prusa Mendel plastic parts +Wade's, ready to use

Price£75.00
Unit TypeEach
Delivery cost£7.00TypeExpress Delivery
Date Order13/10/11Date Received15/10/11


One of the most noticeable parts of any RepRap is the plastic, in most cases created by a RepRap, parts.

The plastic parts Nophead supplies are created using tried and tested materials to special specs for the best performance.
All parts excluding the brushings are ABS for strength and heat resistance.
Varying desity depending on area of use as well as next to no clean up required.

The pulleys even come with grub nuts pre-inserted.

I received emails at every step of the ordering and shipping process as well as a good luck message.


ProsCons
  • Amazing delivery time
  • High quality prints
  • Great Communication
  • Slightly more expensive then other suppliers

Would I buy plastics from Nophead again?

Yes.

Finger crossed when my RepRap is up and running I don't have to buy plastic parts from anyone, but on the off chance I needed a full set ASAP I would definably use Nophead again.
Highly recommended for a UK beginner due to the lack of cleaning/finishing.
