Looking for a good Delta Design Hello All, I'm currently part way through a Richrap 3dr build i've edited for 8mm rod and gt2 belt, but honestly its a bit small and i'm having a devil of a time finding a auto bed detection method that just works. I mistakenly bought a nice Alu headbed, but at 220mm its too big for this design but I think its the right size for the printer I want to build. I've also got some nice 200mm arms, which are a bit too long for the richrap design. I'm happy to buy some more extruded alu and already have some decent 450mm rods, but don't mind getting some longer ones, ive already got all the electronics etc needed so just need a decent frame. Most of the ones i've seen have either been around the 180mm build size or massive 300mm monsters. Any help? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,726735#msg-726735 Sun, 17 May 2026 10:36:43 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,731779#msg-731779 Re: Looking for a good Delta Design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,731779#msg-731779 www.thingiverse.com]


EDIT: Whoops! The BazBot has a 300mm+ build diameter which I'm guessing is bigger than you want?]]> MrBaz Delta Machines Mon, 19 Dec 2016 21:47:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,726755#msg-726755 Re: Looking for a good Delta Design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,726755#msg-726755
Some people swear by cross bracing a frame which is larger than ideal to make it stiff enough.]]> DjDemonD Delta Machines Tue, 29 Nov 2016 08:52:07 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,726735#msg-726735 Looking for a good Delta Design https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,726735,726735#msg-726735
