Budget 1500mm OpenBuilds V-Slot Deltabot Build

This 1500mm tall Delta is a work in progress. The triangle corners are water jetted from 1" 6061 Aluminum, and are welded to 1" square tubing. The 1500mm OpenBuilds 20x20 V-Slot extrusions are held into the corner brackets by two stainless steel set screws per bracket. This printer will need to be reinforced with wall brackets due to the combination of height/materials.

    Looking good dogenet, Nice to see I am not the only one working on a really tall (1580mm ) delta :thumbsup:
    What length did you go with for your horizontals? My mock up unit is using 500mm but I have not finalized it as of yet.

    Hello Kyo, I had forgotten, but just measured them and got 750mm. I think somewhere around 500-600mm is more realistic, as I kind of regret the width.. I designed it so it would only fit through 36" doorways, haha. If I make another, it will fit through smaller doorways.. Good luck with the build! Sounds much more practical than the Part Daddy, not that I don't drool over that beast of a Delta...
