Cheap Imported Lamello Fasteners


 

A recent project required the use of a bunch of Lamello Tenso connectors, but was just for home so didnt want to fork out for originals.
?
I purchased some "Lamino" clips from "Loving & Loving Oh! Store" on Ali-Express (), arrived after about a week, and honestly for the price I'm quite impressed. For the Tenso connectors the clamping strength is probably ~75% of the original ones, and fit in all the 14mm slots I bored. I got some of their Clamex too, but havent had to use them in anger, but playing around with them requires a 15mm slot vs the standard 14mm one, but with a 15mm slot works just fine. a little more lateral play that original but not complaining.
?
For ~20c per Tenso pair (vs ~$1 ea OEM, AliExpress price flucuates a bit), I was pretty happy with the result.
?
Just sharing if anyone is after some, as I've heard some are pretty ill fitting.

Karl,

I can tell you the "Lamino" connectors are a lot cheaper on Taobao china than Ali-Express even adding the shipping cost.

100 pairs of "Lamino" P14 is US$7.53 on taobao.? There are many stores selling different "Lamino" connectors on taobao. Install taobao app on your phone and check yourself.
?
80 pairs of Lamello tenso P14 is US$105, damn!

Lamello had sold 100K-th Zeta P2 last year. They probably made more money from the plastic connectors than the Zeta p2 machines

Hey James,
?
Yeah havent used Taobao in a while, brought most of the parts for my Voron 3D Printer through Taobao, but I do recall having to use a re-shipper. But good point, if I need to order a bulk ammount more, definatley worth dealing with that again for further saving. Thanks for the reminder.

I asked my brother-in-law in Shanghai to purchase 1200 pairs of different "Lamino" connectors, he sent the cardboard box with "Lamino" connectors and other stuff?to me using reshipping service.

Lamello connectors are outrageously expensive, consumers suffer when there is a monopoly.

Now, I have no hesitation in using Zeta P2 because of the low cost alternative.?
