Currently I am working on my second delta. The first was a Geeetech M301 3 color and that was a disaster, the printer never finished a single print and ended up scrapped for parts. The second of coarse is the Kossel Pro by BIQU. Here is a link to the printer BIQU Kossel Pro The problem I am having is the hot end wont lower closer than 5 mm from the bed so its printing in mid air. I have triedby Bama3d - Printing
Hello all, thought I would offer up and update to anyone interested. All has been going well and we have visited and we have visited 6 low income schools, a fair and a few other events with a good bit of success. I have a fellow who reached out and is accompanying me when possible and giving some very basic tutorials on 3d modeling. I have tons of video footage I am going through trying to editby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Well I posted for that reason and I wanted opposing points of view. I did not care for the insults however. That's something I don't tolerate well. I see it as counter productive and I admit when insults are thrown I tend to dismiss the throwers points. I'm making some changes to the plan. I will be adding a custom vacuum former to the trailer. I will also be building a robot suite with sby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
I have considered taking on some sponsorship but I want my autonomy. I want to be able to make recommendations and to do reviews without a sponsor taking issue. So it would really depend on the fine details. I don't want to be beholden to anyone to the point of not being able to tell it like it is. And the fact is that every time we go out and do a demo we know of 15 - 20 people who went hoby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants

QuoteSteveRoy Interesting project. I was chatting with a member of my local hackspace tonight and he has a "maker mobile" - a converted cargo truck which they traveled throughout much of British Columbia, Canada last summer showing off "making". They had 3x 3D printers which they used to show off that technology. Apparently people loved it. What I wouldn't show people are the kits coming outby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
QuoteBee69 Speeking as an older bloke (50ish) I think your doing a good thing. Any intrest you can give the kids of today other than a games consol is all good by me. But im so old I payed £399.00 for 4 meg of ram in the old days. I thank you sir, we have already seen some positive results. For instance, we visited a local high school a couple of years ago. A 14 year old student took a particulby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Wow, the backhanded insults just keep coming. But just to be real clear. I truly couldn't care less what you think about me or whatever I am doing. That's the beauty of it all. You don't have to agree with me and I don't have to care. I hope to develop friendship and connections with like minded folks that aren't to quick to turn their noses up. That's obviously not going to be you. So be it.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Well I am going to be traveling anyway. Sort of retirement for me.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Well pardon me, but the trailer full of junk turning off people to 3d printing kind of through me off. But this has become my passion and I enjoy it a great deal. And It's okay, I can deal with others thinking it's not what I should be doing. That's never stopped me before and it won't slow me down now.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
No, I have no desire to sell printer's. I have an income and am doing this because of my love of making and would like to share that as much as possible. I have already visited several schools with just one of my printer's. And it may sound cheesy but it's been amazing.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Lol, I have thought it through quiet well thank you. I don't consider a $500 necessarily cheap junk. I realize that not everyone can afford more expensive equipment $500 however is within reach for many. My first printer was less than $300 and yet over time I turned that cheap junk into a damn good printer. Even if snobs think it's junk.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Part of the point here is having printer's people can experience and then go buy what they like and have used. I currently have 4 scratch built printer's and could certainly build the printer's. But that defeats the purpose to a large degree. And the number 22 is an estimation based on space and layout.by Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
Hello, I am currently working on a project for which I am seeking any assistance you guys may be able to offer. I am currently building a 28' trailer which I intend to fill with as many types and models of 3D Printers as possible. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 Printers. We are wiring the entire trailer with cameras, powering it with solar and a small generator. Once completed we will beby Bama3d - Prusa i3 and variants
I have a Prusa I3 Clone which I have yet to get a single print from. Currently I can control all axis manually and the end stops function. However auto home does nothing and trying to print the unit heats up but just sits there and does not even attempt to start printing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
