Quotehercek OK, so is your extruder able to push enough filament to actually print at 400 mm/s? At what layer height? Also you specified the maximum speed but you omitted the maximum acceleration. What is the maximum acceleration and maximum jerk? What is the dynamic precision when under the maximum acceleration? From your video, it looks like it prints more slowly than a P3Steel kit for about 5by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
You lose stability with longer arms. You have to increase the parallel spacing to get a more rigid effector.by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
Grab two wires and try to turn the motor. If it resists, then you found a pole, wire them next together and then the other two as well. So say, yellow and blue create a pole, then red and green go together. How much was the shipping on those things?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
The bondtech extruder will too through anything you throw at it, its just way way too expensive for some gearsby 3DRapidClone - General
Actually, I just noticed something. Does Printbite support Polycarbonate? It doesn't seem to be listed. Thanks.by 3DRapidClone - General
Doug's correct! I'm still working on this project, but someone I knew rush requested a large kossel built and I ended up using this printer for it. So I need to rebuy quite a few parts. A few things are still up in the air, like whether or not to use V-slot wheels or linear rails. The 600mm linear rails I bought actually ended up being too short for maximal print volume. I'll get back on it reallby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Shipping is 3 british pounds everywhere. It's roughly 1.5x USD (1.53) so about 4 and half bucks for shipping. 300mm disc or 350 mm disc for me.by 3DRapidClone - General
Im very interested in this for the fact to can adhere to nylon. How well can this adhere to nylon? And if you got around to circular discs I'd be all in .by 3DRapidClone - General
You shouldn't require a Pi to do what you want to. Switching the pins should still operate the mosfets fine. Good Luck though!by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
It's brand new, so probably only DC42 has any experience. Either way I wouldn't recommend doing so and suggest using a mosfet instead. An example and tutorial here.by 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
Have you tested it? I am also pretty curious as I have a PEI bed stack before committing to the IR sensor purchase.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Thank you for implementing M42 !by 3DRapidClone - Firmware - mainstream and related support
QuoteSmallj Quote3DRapidClone download the firmware, and also download the Arduino IDE. Hook up the Arduino board and open the .ino file in the folder. Go to configuration.h and this is where you change your settings. Make sure you are set to Atmega 2560 and the right com port, then flash your firmware on. I recommend Repetier instead of Marlin though for Deltas. (same process) good luck. wherby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines

roughly 25-30c below Tg is decent for environment temp. It's the same reason why PLA prints so well at room temp because its Tg is around 50-55Cby 3DRapidClone - Reprappers
blog A few updates, been away designing and printing some prototypes: This is optional base extension. It goes underneath the main frame and gives another 60mm of height so that all of your electronics can fit + storage of allen wrenches and what not. The circle is for wiring which is concealed by insulation and the mount has a hole in the center( hard to see because it's white) that you can fby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
I have a standard open belt Kossel Mini Carriage design and I just finished my own custom one in the MK-X thread below in this forum.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines

Hey DC42, is your current branch up to date with the X4 extension boards and the 4 additional extruders?by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
If you contact Derek, he can get them in custom sizes!by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Hi Paul, I got my linear rails from RobotDigg for $72. Reputable place, though awkward buying method. Shipping was around $58, so I packed it with as much as possible. It runs smooth and come very oiled.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
tape attached PEI plate installed! ( not trimmed) Here are the center X-beam connectors. They attach on either side and has some leeway built into its design if you don't insert them perfectly symmetrical on every side because you can always slide them in further. It uses 16 M4 10mm screws - same as the ones used for the aluminum corners from RobotDigg. In the center, tby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines

Here's a link to all the images I'll upload of this build log. So far I printed an beta version of my carriage mount, Kraken effector and Frame Crossmounts. Forgive the picture quality, and the print quality (Slic3r was misbehaving) First up, is a Cherry Pi IIIS 2nd derivative spring carriage: I hate zip ties for anything other than tidying up wires for aesthetic reasons.

Hey guys, working on a new Delta, printer, a variant on the Kossel, an evolution of sorts. I started working on C-beam based printer ,but it became unwieldy, expensive, and required a chamber to print it properly due to the size of the prints. The mechanical frame is based on RobotDigg's aluminum kossel 2020 corners because nothing I can print will match up to the squareness or strength of alumiby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
If the bed is going to be large, it's going to be way too slow compared to the effector. ....unless you slow down the effector.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Yes you can just invert them in the firmware.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
QuoteBlasphemousBits Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the latest Repetier firmware had support for auto-calibration? (see this page: ). Is that different from the auto-calibration in Marlin? I haven't tried Marlin yet, but the Repetier host interface for editing the EEPROM values on Repetier firmware is a godsend for calibration. It's tedious enough just changing firmware values, if Iby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
Not true. Repetier is the better firmware for running Deltas, its more resource efficient and Marlin will bog down if you have a graphic lcd attached and try to go slightly too fast. The biggest marlin pro is Auto-calibration, but manual calibration is always superior anyways. And if you really want to do auto-cal, load up marlin, auto-cal it and then input the values into Repetier.by 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
It was at first directed at jagking for his extruder. Flying/Floating extruders try to mitigate bowden weaknesses while maintaining its benefits. For you, I'd want to see exactly how fast you can print. Quick moves is going to swing that extruder around like crazy, stressing the bowden tube. I want to know exactly whats the limit at where the moment of inertia starts affecting prints or the extruby 3DRapidClone - Delta Machines
