QuoteTomek Did the guy who made the 3DR "extensions" for a bigger build platform release his files? I was having trouble finding them. I'm the guy who made 3DR "extensions" but got my MacBook Pro stollen before I did a backup or published them I haven't yet had the time to re-do it ...by cybug - Delta Machines
PVC might be cheaper than any kind of wall. Bottom end of PVC tube can be cutted by the diameter of the tube and pass through the bottom base. You keep the threaded rod tension, half the tube is still pressing against the base, the other half of the tube, passing through the bottom base, makes a foot for the sturcture and allow you to have each motor off the soil. I have no CAD of drawing softwarby cybug - Delta Machines
Received new parts and did some progress on my 3DR-X : I've installed the silicone heating bed with thermal insulation : More pictures including how-to install the heatng bed (not yet tested, only concept) : 3DR-Xby cybug - Delta Machines
QuoteMallgan.O That is awesome! I have just started to build my 3DR and I would prefer to have a larger circle and sacrifice build height and just logged on to ask if anybody already is designing extenders before I started. What thickness of the spacer do you need to get 200mm, and rod eye-to-eye length? I don't have a printer so I was thinking of just putting a spacer of whatever material therby cybug - Delta Machines
Hi Rich, Congratulation for the 3DR ! I've designed a pair of parts to extend the bed diameter to 200 mm. Ì want to use a circular silicon heated bed and its diameter is 200 mm. I didn't want to re-design bottom and top parts because : 1 - yours seems to be good 2 - you can use extenders on a "stock" 3DR (but need to rebuild it). Here are pics of parts for the 3DR-X (X for extended) :by cybug - Delta Machines
