I just got this email from Kysan.  It says FOB San Francisco, but I'm pretty sure they are in Mountain View.  I hope we can Will Call from there.  I don't need 80 though, so throwing this out there:

"We have a promotion price on Kysan 1124090, -$9.95 each FOB San Francisco now. But you have to order by case of 80 pieces. Let me know if you have interest to order one case.

http://www.kysanelectronics.com/Products/Detail.php?recordID=7850"


PS, I have no affiliation with them, other than I've placed an order with them in the past.

I would buy 1 to 6 steppers depend on my bot building ambitions at the time of the order.

If they're the same ones, then one of the two links' pictures are wrong. In adition to the rod size, the height/length of the motor is much larger in the UltiMachine picture.

First, the datasheets look the same to me from Kysan and Ultimachine.
So make sure this is the one you want



Secondly I've contacted them and they are willing to bring X number of cases to a meeting and we just pay them.

Is there a preference for time or location?  I think one of the regular meetings should work.  I live in the City, but I Menlo Park would probably close to most folks and be sort of in between.  Or if some that comes up to the city can pick up for me.

Once we get a consensus on date and location, I can let them know what location and time.

If you're reselling, you can bring a resale certificate and they will wave tax.

They only have 5 cases (80 steppers per case) left on hand, next shipment will be in December.

Here is the contact info if you want to verify and confirm:

Update.

Looking through the thread I see an estimated high count of about 70 steppers.

Once we are sure we have the minimum, Sam will take our orders individually rather than having each of us go through me.
I can bring to which ever meeting we want, I don't see a Menlo Park meeting on the Calendar yet, but once I see one and we hit 80 steppers, I'll tell him to meet us there to pick them up.

Which is the same as what is listed on the corp site.

Hopefully we hit 80 this week and the Menlo Park meeting gets posted.

Who is the meeting Organizer for Menlo Park?   I would like to setup a time for Kysan to deliver orders.

I've also spoke with Sam.  He will take your orders now.  You can can deal with him directly and possibly setup a pickup time in Mountain View if we don't have a meeting anytime soon.

Here is the contact info again and the price is $9.95 each.  Just reference the 3D printer group for the $9.95 steppers.

Jim,

I can bring a new Kysan one tonight.  You can give me another new one when Kysan gets them back in stock.  

Are you done testing the leadscrew?  We can swap.

I am pretty much done with the leadscrew, I was going to try without the antibacklash spring tonight at the meeting, but seems like I will need to get there after 9pm as I am not a member. Will you be there at 9?

The stepper is not really urgent, I'll look around online for one at a reasonable price, although Sam says www.PMT3D.com has them, and they confirmed they have them in stock, just at a higher price :)

I was looking for one to use on my second extruder, but I may just get a geared stepper from Phidgets and skip the wades.

Thanks

I bought several spare steppers from Kysan, so I'm not in a hurry to get it replaced.  I'll bring it tonight.  Use it if you want.

I'm thinking about using smaller steppers for my extruders.  Kysan probably has some.  I know Trinity sells some.

I was planning on coming earlier, around 7:30-8.  I'm not a member either, but they let me hang out for awhile in the other room.  If not, there's a bar 1 block away.  We could go get a pint if you're up for it.

I believe if we can get an order together for a case (80?) we can ask him to ship from China for his next order.

Bob, I may have 5 for you.  Let see what my spare pile is looking like and decide if I really want to build a delta.

I'm new to this but done a good amount of research with a pending Prusa 2 build.  These steppers seem to be prime candidates for any printer/CNC build given their relatively high holding force.  Is this true?  I looked at the spec sheet and it says they come with 50cm cables... Is this correct?  Are the ends already crimped and plug attached?  Just wondering.

If you could get me 5 for around $60 shipped I'd be thrilled.  Alternately if you're really in the Bay Area I'd be happy to do  a local pick up.

Thank you very much,
-Bob

Hey Bob,

Yeah, these motors are good for CNC machines. I know several people who have used those motors to make their machines. The cables are crimped and a plug is connected. I have a picture of one if you want me to email it to you. I have some if you guys want to buy (I'll sell them at cost $9.95 each) but Sam Wong is great to deal with so you can buy from him as well. I'm down to about 11 motors right now.

If someone wants to do a group buy I'm in for 5, I suspect we can eliminate shipping if someone picks them up.

Or maybe we can persuade Sam to come back and sell them individually?

Just heard from my friend & future reprapper and they are in. So you guys can put me down for 9 and if there winds up being a lone stepper that needs a buyer to seal the deal then you can round me off. Let me know what needs to be done next. Will these be picked up & paid for and a meet? or? I'd be happy to go to either MP or SJ Tech Shop.

we are still a little far from the 80 minimum. By my count we are currently at 24...
I think many of the current local guys already bought a bunch from the last bulk buy.

I may know someone who wants another 5 so maybe upto 29.

Daniel in Seattle ended up buying 100 of them and Sam said thanks and agreed to let us buy individually from him because of it.

I am listed on the google docs form for this with 10. Others might be still on the google doc that was made for this. Should you need contact info from me again let me know. But for short I am the person building the filament recycler that was at makerfaire.

Ernest, 

If you're in for 10, that means we're up to 75.  Where's the Google Doc for this?  Can you post the URL?

Corrected list.  If there is no one else, I can increase my order to 25 so we can get the 80.  Anybody else?

Below is the doc that was started in April.  Not sure if everyone who signed up then is still looking now. Also, it looks like Ernest (per email name) is actually Mike (per signature and google doc) and he did add himself to the list so the Ernest line may be redundant.

OK, Mike is Ernest, corrected.  Tim is added for 10.  I'll increase my order to 25.  That makes 80.  Let's do this.

Alex G. from Google Doc, if you still need 8, you can buy them from me.  Who's placing the order?

Thanks Tim.  If it makes it any easier I can pick mine up from Sam too.  I'm in Sunnyvale, not far from Sam.

When I get home I can. Showing my 3d plastics recycler / filament maker at Hack Palo Alto today. It might be listed in the prev comments here. Think thats how I found it but yes. In for 10 but in the current list I show up as "Mike". I go by my middle name.

Hi Ken or Ernest,

I wanted to get around 30 for several projects.  I could pick them up from Bay Area RepRap.  I was the one that wrote in on The 30th. I know early bird gets the worm :)

Do you want to see if there is more interest in the next couple days? It only took 3 days to come up with 80?  Looks like Jeremy is in for 10.

Ben        30
Jeremy     5
Ken          ?

=============
             40 ?

Thanks,
Ben

I would be in for 5 or 10 if it's not too late and would help hit the number for it

Hi all,  

I tried posting to this thread earlier in the morning, but it doesn't seem to be showing up -- so I thought I would try again.   I added myself to the google doc file -- only looking for 4 motors -- earlier today.   Hope that 4 would be available.  Will check later tonight and again tomorrow to see if this was added to the thread.

Not sure if everyone is aware, but on this (newest promo), there is a $1 shipping charge per motor.  This is not reflected in the spreadsheet.  Tim did post this information from the email sent out by Kysan USA (Sam).

Just be aware that the true cost is $10.95 per motor.  I'm not sure how Sam will handle tax.

FYI

I'm hoping shipping will be waived if I pick them up.

I sent an email to Sam this morning. Waiting to hear back.

Tim,

Can you ask Sam if we can order more than 80 or does it have to be in lots of 80?  We have a lot of late comers that puts us closer to 100 now.

Ken

I will.

Can all of you please update the Google doc with contact info and qty?

Right now it is incomplete. I will be ordering based on the spreadsheet and want everyone's contact info.

So it looks like the motors need to be picked up in South San
Francisco. I'm not making a trip up there in the near future so I'm
going to ask if someone else in the group can contact Sam to get the
steppers. Sorry about that. I'm still in for 10.

What's his contact info? I can't do it during the week, but probably on the weekend.

OK, I've got good news and bad news for the group buy.

The bad news that they are not open on the weekends, so somebody else is going to have to pick them up during the week.  Also, you can only buy in lots of exactly 80 from the warehouse and we are at about 100 now.

The good news is that I've arranged to buy my motors separately from Sam as long as you guys buy 80, so that drops you guys back down to around 76ish.  So you guys should update your Google Doc spreadsheet and figure out exactly how many you still need.  I don't think we've heard from Alex G., so you might be able to take his 8 off the list.  Somebody check with him.  When you guys get close to 80 and get somebody to pick them up from the warehouse in SSF, let me know.  I can adjust my order to make yours exactly 80 so you can buy them.


Thanks,
Ken

Updated motor ordering spreadsheet to show adjusted price per motor of $10.95 (with $1.00 shipped fee).  This is entered as a variable at cell D2, so it can easily be revised in future. We still need to add the Sales Tax, as applicable, into the cost calculations.

Hi Ken, Alex, Tim et all,

I will be going up to SF on Monday (current plan) and could probably be involved in picking the motors up.  I may not be the ideal candidate however, because I live in Santa Cruz -- and my availability next week will be horrible to get them to anyone.   Is there a meet up at Techshop SJ week after next - and would that be a good venue for distribution?   I can also see about leaving a few motors with a friend in SF to meet at Techshop SF.     Whoever is officially in charge let me know if I can help.

I just got an email from Cindy at Kysan saying it is ok for me to pick them up from Sam after he gets back on 6/12.  Since he gets back on 6/12, I'm not sure if I will have them for the meeting that night or not.  It may have to wait until the following week's meeting.  I think just for simplicity's sake, let's do that.  Thanks for volunteering though Tom.

Ken
