I decided to build a Delta printer back in September. This build started out being based on the Delta-Six design, but I decided to see if I could...
This was my 2nd print using the switch style I mentioned. My slider is about 7mm off the face of the EMT & looks like I have room to move it at...
Here is a 2 part bracket design to test if you prefer this type. I rotated the tightening mounts 45 degrees to miss the upper wheel & switch....
Your Build log looks pretty good. Drilling those holes in the horizontal EMT can be a little challenging with a hand held drill even with the...
It should be close, but you may have to shim it out a hair, or I might have to adjust it a mm or so one way or the other to be centered on the...
That switch should work better in that tight area. See if this will work for you. I made this 3mm thick instead of 4mm as it did not seem to be...
What kind of limit switch & have you figured out how to mount that? I was working on using the limit switch board like the one used on the...

What are you using for Sliders/Carriages? I have a couple of different customizable designs I can add here. One is based on this modified design...

You got me interested in doing some more design on this project. Not sure I will print any of these, but I will further the design. After...
I know what you mean about printing those vertex parts. I can not tell you how many different versions I printed before getting them close...
