About VLMP 2 Hardware Kit
VLMP 2 builds on the incredible success of the original VLMP heat set insert press to bring you a rigid, strong, stable, and precise insert press for high quality repeatable results. This hardware kit includes all the parts you'd need to purchase to build it including the extrusion, V-Slot wheels, screws, counterweights etc. However, it doesn't include the soldering iron.

Printing Parts
We do not offer printed parts for VLMP 2. You can print from any material for most of the design, you just need to make sure the grip is printed from ABS or ASA. The grip is quite small and can be done with a brim so should be achievable on many printers.
Upgrading from Original VLMP?
Upgrading from VLMP 1 is incredibly easy, many of the parts are common, particularly the extrusion, V wheels and idlers so you just the need the upgrade kit and new printed parts. The grip is identical so you don't need to be printing a new one in ABS. For the rest of the parts PLA is fine so pretty much any printer will work. All the parts are designed to be easy to print to success is simple, even for 3D printing beginners.

I don’t normally review but I have this time as everything went so well (well sort of)
Delivered very quickly and all in tact. The parts were easy to print and turned out great.
However, if you don’t have the soldering iron the grips are designed for you are left with 2 choices, go and buy one of them or learn how to manipulate the stl file so your crappy £20 iron fits. The latter is where I currently am and been a nightmare.
Ingenious construction, love the storage within the base for the tips and the colour accents
Happy with this build, easy and useful. Very fast and good support getting a needed custom part (Shorter arm for the TS101 soldering iron). Works like a charma nd looks slick. Suggestions: Black hardware kit, hatches for all storage bins (latchable somehow to keep items in during movement), fix some minor errors in manual. Not sure if I warmed my base somewhat, but I couldn't attach the middle two rubber feet or the whole thing would balance on them, removed them and now rock steady on the outer four feet.
