I will use that. I'll assemble the base and top of the delta as soon as the vertices arrive (robotdigg is taking a while to ship it, i don't know why). and i'll measure the bottom plate to adjust your model and have it machined.by andrer - Delta Machines
445MM + 36mm as they overlap with verticals. Or should I keep at 445?by andrer - Delta Machines
I will be using robotdigg's vertices on bottom and top joints. I'l make the horizontals 36mm longer then. Thank you! Other than this, is it mechanically sound? If so i'll be ordering the parts I need.by andrer - Delta Machines
dc42 So the 20 degree rule should be followed. I've been playing with the Danal's simulator, according to it: Frame Horizontal: 445mm Frame vertical: 1100mm Rod Length: 400mm Rail length: 820mm With the build plate constrained by effector tip, the printable area would be 370mm. I understand, as etfrench stated, that the print bed will be larger than the horizontal extrusion. But would it beby andrer - Delta Machines
I can work with the horizontals inside the print area. I'll remove the bed if I need to transport it anyway (As i do with a small kossel I currently have). I'll also use an enclosure that's separate from the printer. IF I can get it to 360-380mm would be perfect.by andrer - Delta Machines
I've seen different information about delta sizing. There's the "ROD_LENGTH * COS(20)" rule that would get a 163.23 printable radius with The 400mm rods I have. I've based a lot of my project on DC42's build. he's using a 360mm rod, which according to this rule would result in a 149.9 printable radius. He's using a 330mm diameter plate with a 300mm diameter heater. Which would be close to that.by andrer - Delta Machines
