A Bigger Slice Of Pi ... October 04, 2014 01:15PM |
Hi Guys
I thought you might be interested in the latest iteration of my Cherry Pi range, Cherry Pi 4XL. The machine has a full 300mm diameter heated print bed and can print up to 550mm tall objects. It's basically the same as my Cherry Pi III but the towers are from 3 x 1M 2040 extrusion to help combat flex. All the parts are the same apart from the stepper mount/tower bases, the top vertices and the top vertices covers. They have been amended to accommodate the larger extrusion. It prints just as well as the other Cherry Pi machines, just bigger!
If anyone needs the three amended .stl files I've attached two of them here. The other (the top vertice) is too large just let me know if you need it and PM me with your email address. There is a video of the machine printing here [youtu.be]

Nice 
But stop making new changes I want. I cannot keep up

You are getting pretty close to the dimensions that my CP mutt was built to! (1000mm long columns, 400mm crossbars) Based on my gut feeling with no engineering research to back it up, I was thinking about going 2040 for both the uprights and crossbars if I was going to build another Delta.....

I just picked some of these bad boys:
They're 3"x3" 80/20 inc extrusions and I'd like to use them for the cross members. How how hard would it be to adapt the extrusion brackets for these? I would still use 2040 v-slot for the tower rails.

C Beam looks great but may be overkill for a delta, unless it was super enormous ....
Where's my copy of Sketchup ? !!!!
