Hey ya'll, first post here on this forum.. I found it when Brian (I think?) posted in the delta group forums on google groups.
Anyway, I've noticed that there's a 3d printing section here so I thought I'd share something I've been working on for quiet a while now..hoping to release it in november once its been thoroughly tested.
This delta derivative is small, lightweight, yet rock solid. The main goal was to reduce the cost drastically and have a slick design with minimum parts for ease of assembly. I think I've achieved just that
It uses spectra fishing line instead of belts for higher accuracy and doesn't use any printed parts, all lasercut (also helps reduce costs). Its intended to go with a controller case (not pictured) and optional lcd mount.
I just need to finish assembling the arms with the hotend and I'll be testing it hopefully this weekend with a video!
If you want to find out when the video will go up, sign up at
http://www.deltaprintr.com and I'll email everyone when its up on youtube to check it out. We're also planning on launching it on kickstarter soon to help reduce the price even more.. The goal price is somewhere between $300 - 500.
Anyway.. I'll let the attached pictures do the rest of the talking
