Rostock at our local MakerSpace (Area515)
I can join month to month. $37.50 gets me access to all the tools (including print time)

 

Nice

 

Yeah, except the guy who charged me $200.00 to print my Laurtr3k parts is also a member and prolly not owerwhelmed by me printing these for about $25.00!!!
Decent group of people, and I am only one of three people checked out to use the printer, so I get tons of time.

 

I had something similar happen to me. I came here to build a CNC router in order to build an all aluminum Delta printer I was designing after watching Werner Berry's "BerryBot 3D" videos on youtube. It wasn’t long before I stumbled into the Delta-Six build. Now I need a 3D printer to build a 3D printer. Conclusion: A guy can never have enough tools.

So, up to now (a lot of parts, but nothing for the extruder yet, excepting the effector)

- M5x35mm --> 12X
- M5x40mm --> 3 packs of 10
- M5x10mm --> 3 packs of 25

- M3x12mm --> 12X
- M3x16mm --> 12X
- M3x20mm --> 12X

- M3 nuts --> 24X
- M5 lock-nuts --> 15X
- M5 t-nuts --> 3 packs of 25

- Eccentric spacers --> 15X
- 1/4" spacers --> 18X
- 1mm shims (for mini v-wheels) --> 24X

- Carbon rods --> 6X 240mm
- Traxxas joint --> 12X
- GT2 (2mm) belt --> 3X 1400mm
- GT2 (2mm) pulley 20 teeth 5mm shaft --> 3X
- Mini v-wheels --> 12X
- Idler pulley kit --> 3X

- Limit switches --> 3X
- Heated bed --> 1X
- Nema17 steppers --> 3X
- Arduino Mega with Ramps (or your own choice) --> 1X
- 12V supply ( I have a 29 amps) --> 1X

- 2040 V-slots 300mm --> 6X
- 2040 V-slots 600mm --> 3X

- Printed vertexes (vertices?) --> 6X
- Printed carriage --> 3X
- Aluminum plates for the carriage --> 6X
- Aluminum plates for the idlers --> 3X
- Effector (of your choice) --> 1X
- Extruder of your choice (not there yet... you'll have to design it yourself if you can't wait ) --> 1X

I covered much of it, I surely forgot something (murphy's law) but this BOM is much more complete than the original one

 

Too funny!
Wish we had a MakerSpace in my neck of the woods.

I feel that I have to answer to that Did you know that PLA/PHA is 4 times the price of PLA? Did you know too that Lautr3K is a freaking lot a parts too? I'm happy for you, you did found a place to print them yourself for cheap, specially that 25$ isn't even the price of a filament roll

 

Ummm...I think I should be a bit more specific. The other member I spoke of is a member of our local makerspace, NOT a member here. My parts are ABS, and If you do some research, you can see that many of the popular filament vendors claim to make their own filament, but use the same manufacturer. The price of PLA/PHA is indeed twice the price of PLA, and is by all accounts, better in the right application. We buy our ABS for about $25/KG roll. Depending on color, + or - a couple of bucks. Prints great, and no problems with crazy shaft variance.

Sorry if it seemed I was faulting anyone here.

 

That's fine Back to Delta Six?

 

I am building mine with magnetic ends and ball bearings. How can i help?
We are using the wffector and carriages from Infill3d on Thingiverse. I have magnets and theaded ball bearings on the way.

 

So all three carriages are assembled and running smooth, then it's just a matter of aligning/running the belts

Once my CF tubs arrive the real fun will start
Again dddman has come through with awesome printed parts
Here's some eye candy

 

Got the Effector with 1.75mm E3Dv6 done

 

I really long for the day that i do something before you

 

Lol

 

Well, I just found out that my lathe does not have a through hole, making it much harder to turn down these screws! Never needed it before, but now when I do...

On the upside, the RobotDigg 8/20 lead screw fits the Y carriage on the Lautr3k at full length. Only need to turn the end down to 5mm for a length of 12mm.

 

Little further with the E3D6

 

Carbon tubes showed up yesterday, I cut them all to length and then epoxied the traxx in place on one end.


I now have to build a jig in order to get the other ends in and all of them to be the same length

 

Here it is, a simple but effective jig

I have done all six rods and they are now curing.

 

Test fitting of the arms went well

 

You are moving right along! Looking good.

 

Ty, most of my waiting times are due to shipping wait times but in between it gives me time for other things
Now that I got things in it sure is moving nicely
Special thanks to dddman for all printed parts and more

We've been working together on a few projects, this being the major one and it just goes to show how we have a great bunch people here.

Here are some pics of an i3 style printer that again dddman and I are building.
He is taking care of modding/printing and collecting all 3d parts used and I'm modding the laser DFX files so they can be milled on an OX.
I will be posting the files when I'm done as a OX project in my OX AI build along with a few other fun projects
My frame and progress



This printer is being built out of 1/4 lime acrylic, recycled inkjet printer rails and other gathered parts from the local hardware store

 

the cuts look great, Robert what do speed/feed and cutter do you use?

 

Ty !
I use my used 45 helex two flute bits after a few run in aluminum.
Spindle @10000 rpm and feed is 40 ipm

 

Soapy water is what I use as a cutting fluid with acrylic

 

is this the bit?
my router is too fast but working on that.

Yep that's it and spindle speed won't matter much in acrylic as long as your feed is fast and you keep things cool with cutting fluids "soap water in my case"

 

BTW that's a fare price on the bit as long as it performs

 

I believe they are still giving away delta 3d printer ABS part kits away on the Google delta Kossel forum free, only catch is that you have to promise to make and give two more kits away, it's like a pay it forward type of gig.

 

that's a cool idea.
