AFARCO MINI PNP V3.1
Tony Huynh
I am a maker from Vietnam, very happy to share a project that I have been working on: AFARCO MINI PNP V3.1. If you are interested, you can see more at:
Near-Absolute Mechanical Precision: This method ensures mechanical linkages are as precise as possible, drastically minimizing wear and tear during operation compared to typical 3D printed parts.
Superior Durability: The CNC aluminum construction provides exceptional rigidity and longevity.
This modular approach means:
Near-Perfect Alignment: You can bypass the tedious, time-consuming alignment and calibration often required when building from standard aluminum profiles.
Quick Setup: Simply assemble the pre-aligned modules and focus on the software setup.
We've also incorporated our own self-developed feeding system: the AF FEEDER. Crucially, these feeders are also entirely manufactured using CNC machined 6061 aluminum, ensuring reliable, high-precision component delivery.
And finally, to encourage wider adoption and community building, we've managed to keep the barrier to entry low: the price point for this level of precision engineering is just above $1500.
I look forward to a constructive discussion on how we can push the boundaries of DIY together and create a groundbreaking DIY product
Thanks!

Exciting update! We have officially upgraded from the V3.1 to the brand-new AFARCO PNP V3.2!
Here is what makes the V3.2 a massive step up:
40 Feeder Slots: Doubled the capacity from the previous version for more complex setups.
Expanded PCB Area: Supports larger PCB dimensions for wider project flexibility.
Ultra-Stable Frame: Built with a full CNC-machined 6061 aluminum alloy frame to ensure maximum precision during high-speed operation.

Hello Tony Huynh,
My name is Steffen, and I am currently working on a project in Hanoi. We were highly interested in purchasing your Afarco system, but my colleagues have tried to contact you multiple times without success. We were told that you refuse to provide sales or service to customers in Vietnam, which is incredibly disappointing and in total contradiction to your frequent posts in all kind of social media.
As an avid supporter of open-source development and an admirer of the OpenPNP community, this complete denial of service raises major red flags for me regarding the legitimacy of your business proposal and/or product quality. I had to step away from that idea and chose another option.

Dear SR,
Thank you very much for your interest in our project. Please find below the answers to your questions.
Our company is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. With the commitment to providing the best support for our clients, all domestic orders are directly transported by our team to the customer's site for installation, operation, and handover. This ensures we can avoid any potential risks during transit.
Consequently, we are unable to fulfill direct handovers for orders that are too far away. For long-distance customers who wish to purchase our machinery, we highly recommend an in-person meeting to view the demo and discuss the details before placing an order.
If you experience any communication difficulties, please feel free to reach out to us via email. We are always ready to welcome you at our company office.
Best regards,
