Enclosure..... Got to seal the top and bottom then add a door. Got some clear plastic for the door, just hope it doesn't melt. Then its back to making large kossel parts. Don't know why the thumbnails are rotated, click on them for original the correct way up.......by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Yep, the bottom will be 2060, I have a 1.5m length here ready to machine to 330mm lengths once i'm 100% sure 330mm is correct. If i go for a different corner style (like the sheet metal brackets) then that length may need to change. Nipped out to B&Q this afternoon and picked up some hard board and silver 'bubble wrap' insulation, gonna make an enclosure, I wanna nail this ABS printing. Gottby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Were the bags enough? I remember seeing a picture on another thread. Did you use any insulation under the kapton tape? Ive only just looked at the thread where you suggested the sheet metal corners, probably a better solution long term. I'll have a chat with the tutors in the engineering workshop and see what they can make. It takes away from the RepRap printers printing printers philosophy tby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
V-slot is here and i've been trying to print some corners in ABS. Ether i need an enclosure or i stick to PLA for the frame parts.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
V-Slot and mini wheels on the way from ooznest......by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
nice find, i'd not come across the wolfstock before. i'll have a good look into it. sounds like a good option for the pulley mounts, i was thinking the same thing about having the frame built true then tension the belts in another way. wish i didn't have so many projects on the go at once as my 'toy budget' keeps getting blown on other stuff......by wayno complaino - Delta Machines

Should be able to put an order in for the 2040 this week so i can try a printout to make sure the tolerances are good enough...... In the mean time here is the initial and simple plan for the top although there is no belt adjustment like the Mini Kossel, i think i will add that to the Carriage.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Costs a few pennies.... Does look good in the video thoughby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Quite right Doug, now you've linked to it i have seen that delta design before. Its quite different to a 'Kossel' though and i was looking to keep it as Kossel like as i could being as it a proven design. I'd say I'm remixing the kossel, not making anything new in any way. The belt semi inside the extrusion is an interesting feature though. I left a corner to print last night, its the longest tiby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Over vs under: Its just easier, the top of the the hot end is cool enough to be clamped by plastic so the effector would need two layers and standoffs. I have one of these printed but not fitted yetby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Cant help with the problem but would love to see some images and specs from your build.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
All good info guys. I discovered that my corners were slightly too big for my Mini Kossel to print so slightly amended, will print a test tonight just to see how it comes out. I'm keen to stick with the 2040 mainly as I've not seen one built in this orientation so it'll be an experiment others can learn from (even if its a "don't bother")by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
On the effector tilt point, I could easily start off with a single extruder and upgrade as i go. The less complex variables to start with the better until its reliable, then add more.....by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Nice find! I see they don't have thermistors embedded like the other silicone ones i've seen and that could be a good thing from dc42's experience. Would sandwiching a thermistor between the silicone and the Ali be a more accurate solution? SRFR-12/10-P-230V would be the obvious choice here.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
I've seen a revolving effector somewhere that turns like the lenses of an old microscope, that'll keep the unused hot end really far away buy mechanically challenging.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Hi All I've owned a Mini Kossel from think3Dprint3D for about six months and have been loving it. Over that time i have made alterations (as you do) and I now have it running very reliably on Duet electronics and dc42 firmware. I use the printer mainly for my hobby of flying models first person view: Quadcopter, Plane and Ground Station parts mainly, more recently I've started collecting vitamiby wayno complaino - Delta Machines
Awesome. Does this mean 1.09 has all of your fork included up to and including 1.04f? Thanks for your continued work for the Deltas.by wayno complaino - Delta Machines
this is really coming on now! Thank you for the definable macrosby wayno complaino - Ormerod
Great work! thank you for the stop, pause and resume buttons. +1 for a user definable macro button at some future point.by wayno complaino - Ormerod
Can the SD card slot on the LCD screen be used in place of the micro SD on the Duet board? I ask as trying to have a tidy install and the duet cased means the micro sd is hard to get to. With the LCD's SD slot being nice and easy it makes sense to utilise it. Thanks in advance!by wayno complaino - Ormerod
