Using insulation and a heated bed, your chamber is around 60C?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
That is absolutely incredible. You need a a custom hot end though I assume like yours. Feeding multiple filaments into a standard hot end such as a E3DV6 wouldn't work?by 3DRapidClone - General
If you look at the src folder on Jand's github, there's a freecad model that you can dissect to figure out what goes where with the BOM.by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
Ah that makes more sense. Thank you very much!by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
I am confused on its lay out. For Example B5 dictate? 4 T- nuts and then the number 8 and then 4 nuts and then 8?by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
None that I can see. Do you have a list of which printed parts use which size screw? Or is it just trial and error?by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
Close. So I could reason that if I increased the leadscrew by 50mm and the aluminum extrusions that it too would increase Z by 50mm? I was looking at your BOM and there are a few numbers that are off as seen here:by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
Hey Jand, what is the Printer Volume of your printer? 220x200x?by 3DRapidClone - CoreXY Machines
I see what you mean! My plan was using the rostock max belt style so then it wouldnt conflict with the wheels side.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
What about stabilizing the extrusions to the other extrusions? Won't you lose z height?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Even if that means loss in Z height?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Is it worth the increased design complexity and cost to run the belt in the channels compared to the kossel minis exposed belt system?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Is it possible to add more than 5?by 3DRapidClone - Repetier
So I built my Kossel Mini to 760/360 extrusions. Inadvertently, I am using the Tridprinting 12" strong wall rod and traxxas rod kit for a diagonl rod length of (340mm). Using Jay's visual calc, it calculated that my Delta radius would be 173.84mm. Directly measuring my Zmax I got 311mm approximately. However, I can't get the printer to level out. It remains ever so slightly convex(~1mm) but I canby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
That would be some pretty complicated switching. The arms aren't designed to flip up loosely like that. You would need pretty decent force from some motor to do that, adding more weight to the effector which you want to avoid.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Thanks for the info Traumflug. I'm thinking I will use a relay hooked up to one of the free pins on the ramps with a flyback diode so I don't end up obliterating my boards.by 3DRapidClone - RAMPS Electronics
Electromagnet for an automatic magnetic tool changer on my delta printer!by 3DRapidClone - RAMPS Electronics
I apologize, output. I know there is a fan header that is a non-pwm fan header next to the first stepper driver. I'm afraid to run something that is 2-3 amps on the fan output that usually has a load of .3-.5A loads from fans.by 3DRapidClone - RAMPS Electronics
I am trying to find the max current on the fan header on the Ramps board so I can determine how many turns of copper wire and what gauge of copper wire to use because I don't want to pull too much current from the fan header running at 12V.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Hey guys, what are the fan input current limits on the RAMPS board?by 3DRapidClone - RAMPS Electronics
After doing some more R&D on the tool changing, perhaps there's a better way to change a toolhead than simply prying it off via plastic at the tool holder location, especially if the magnets are supposed to be strong to hold something as precise as a hotend. I came across a maglock and thought about its application here. Creating a fail-safe magnetic lock would be perfect for this situationby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Yep, Apparently Z_Min is showing as high. Thanks.by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
I finally set up the the ramps board and soldered 3 motors. However, there have been some issues. When I decrease the z-value, the z-motor does not rotate, but it does rotate when I increase the the z-value up. Any ideas?by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
Is it recommended to using crimping ferrules or soldering for extending motor wires/thermistors/etc?by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
That looks amazing! Keep us updated!by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Hey guys, I want to make my delta have a cleaner look by covering up the bare extrusions. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should use? MDF? Metal panels? etc? Thanks.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Could you elaborate on a cooling section? On the first idea, yes, there would be difficulty upon retraction. However, Im looking into the similar methods from magnetic tapes, which allows one to continually spool and the other tape to stop and go. On the second idea, there would be no retraction, it would constant feed, the toolpath would be redesigned to divert the plastic instead of a jumpby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
From the funnel down the tube, there is no die, its just the plastic itself going with gravity, then the auger bit will drive it to extrude.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
No need to apologize, just trying to formulate ideas. I was discussing with someone on the Google groups about an idea.what do you think about using a heated chamber to melt the plastic into a vat which is channeled down to a screw drive to extrude. The speed of extrusion would be consistent, and when the nozzle has to leave the print, it would just divert the nozzle away from the print, extrudeby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
There hasn't been too much recent research in direct pellet Bowden drive and this may be a missed opportunity. Specifically for delta printers, I feel like we aren't maximizing the vertical space that deltas have which consumer Cartesian machines do not have. Cartesian machines typically use direct drive extruders while 99% of deltas use a Bowden system. Research in direct filament extruders frby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
