Which linear rod delta printer Good day all Have some experience in a Prusa I3, but want to venture into building a delta. I want to use linear smooth rods, gt2 belts, round heating bed etc - size does not really matter. The richrap 3dr are a nice build, but seems like I would have to do some modification to use gt2 belts as his build uses spectra fishing line. Any suggestions or links of a nice build?

Delta designs moved on from using rods for linear motion to either rails/tracks (Kossel) and now wheels riding directly on the extrusions (many including Cherry Pi). Frame flex is also reported to be an issue on the Kossel with 1515 extrusions. The Cherry Pi uses bigger 2020 extrusions, as do some Kossel variants.

If you want to drop the requirement for linear smooth rods, the Cherry Pi is the most progressive Delta design/features at the moment and would be my recommendation as well.....]]> vreihen Delta Machines Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:33:40 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,461218,461426#msg-461426 Re: Which linear rod delta printer https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,461218,461426#msg-461426

Get yourself a slice of Cherry Pi ! (:P)

I would second that.

My larger slice of Pi is coming on nicely Andy
