My theory on the skew: DELTA_DIAGONAL_ROD is wrong. This would cause the X-Y symmetry to be maintained but skew Z.by BaconLover - Delta Machines
Quotegmh39 Does it really matter? Each axis should be the same geometry and identical. It only matters insofar as your firmware definitions match what you're talking about physically. I'm just going by the RichRap original tower definitions. If you switch X/Y for example, you'd end up with a mirror image of what you intend to make - which could be a little bit confusing!by BaconLover - Delta Machines
Yeah it should be ZYX clockwise, specifically oriented like the diagram above. Quotebrendanjerwin Hmmm. Mine is Z X Y clockwise. Probably wrong, huh?by BaconLover - Delta Machines
Had fun printing the T800 model in black ABS at 0.2mm, however the bowden tube lag is rearing its ugly head. I can't get the cables to print properly because the filament is not starting and stopping in sync with the hotend movements. It ends up being a partial cylinder for the first few layers and then eventually gets knocked off and becomes a blob. Anybody have experience dealing with this typeby BaconLover - Delta Machines
Couldn't help sharing my overnight progress. Had a helluva time getting the lower jaw to stick to the platform without getting knocked off about 1cm in, but enabled the raft feature in Cura which seems to have done the trick. It looks like either the X or Y towers got stuck and lost a few steps right at the teeth split line, but it seems to have recovered nicely. It kinda gives it some characterby BaconLover - Delta Machines
Hello All, I've been gathering the parts for my 3DR build for the past few weeks. This is my first foray into 3D Printing so I needed a set of printed parts to get me started. A big thanks to Mitch over at BusyBotz 3D Printing for printing me a set for a small fee - apparently there were some headaches with printing the large flat parts in ABS but Mitch pulled through and delivered a beautiful sby BaconLover - Delta Machines
Fwiw I ordered the 170mm glass and 160mm kapton heater from Trinity and it arrived within a week. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet but it's just a giant resistor so hard to go wrong?by BaconLover - Delta Machines
Got a quote from a botfarm type operation. Thanks.by BaconLover - Job Shop: I need stuff made!
Decided to go with the RichRap 3DR as my first printer, and don't have an existing printer with which to print the parts. Hoping to get a quote for the printed parts including the jumbo LCD cover, PLA preferred for dimensional stability. USA San Francisco. Thanks in advance.by BaconLover - Job Shop: I need stuff made!
