Okay, that's an impressive solution .. and I like that it can be mounted directly onto the e3d v6 fan with a very simple to print part. Done....
Yeah, looked at the video and the design. I have some doubts as to the repeatability and accuracy of the setup. Assuming I use one of those 4mm...
That would require that I use an aluminum build plate right underneath the borosilicate, and then put a heater under all of that. I'm planning on...
Yeah, I'm going to be using a glass bed, so those inductive probes are going to prove to be too much of a PITA to use for auto-leveling the...
Thank you DiggerJ! Confirmed ... I scavenged some 623Z's from my old CupCake Lowrider XY build ( I replaced the 623 bearing version with a UU8...
To save money. My build started with a WolfStock delta printer I built a couple years ago ... it has 95% of all the components I needed for this...
Those big Double Vertexes I used on my bot are 375 grams each ... I couldn't quite get three out of a 1KG filament roll. Took ~10 hours to print...
I found that if I print vertexes on a badly calibrated delta, they tend to have a slight "twist" in them that is not evident until you get to the...
I can already tell that mounting the Astrosyn vibration-isolated steppers onto the lower vertexes is going to be a major pain in the arse.
Bowden drive extruder is finished (except for the MK8 drive gear) and the limit switches are mounted. As it turns out, the required bearings ( 3...
More bolt, screws, and the limit switches arrived today. I have installed the limit switches ... still waiting for my OpenBeam extrusions to...
Of course -- these 4040 verticals give me an idea... but the tallest V-slot 40x40 sold by OpenBeam are 1500mm... A 1500 mm tall, 500mm dia heated...
Does anyone on the forum know what size bearings Jerry used for the extruder tension/pressure arm? There are two of them, and they are really...
OH! I also have the carriages mounted upside-down in the photos! I just wanted to slap them on to take the picture ... FLAT END UP --> flat side...
I have used delta printers that have mag-carriages, and having the carriage fall off during a fast move is a major pain in the *** that can ruin...
Heh, I'm learning as I go along as well. So far, it's been: 6x OpenBeam 500mm 20x40mm extrusions 3x OpenBeam 1000mm 20x40mm extrusions 6x Carbon...
More progress! All the carriages are mounted, idlers are mounted, and all the parts for the vertexes are finished. All major components have...
Thank you David! And for your message that had some of the values pre-calculated. 517mm sounds about right. I'm starting this build with a...
Hey James, What is the cause of the banding on your tall vertex print? It looks like it's happening every 5mm or so in the Z axis? -Martin
Productive weekend so far! I have dry-assembled the carriages onto the rails, and tested the fit of the vertexes. I've got a @#%-ton of bolts &...
