Earlier this year, I moved all the motors and electronics down from the top. It was a pain to reroute everything but the extrusion channels helped greatly to direct and hide the wires. In the end, the printer is much more visually pleasing, and more importantly, it's no longer top heavy and I assume it's vibrating much less - not that it was vibrating visibly to begin with.by firefly555 - Delta Machines
Cool idea with using the inkjet printed paper for a print surface. The PrintInZ surface feels a lot like paper and printing on that is awesome. What is the estimated print area of the bed? Working within the confines of the base frame is restricting as you have it, but I guess that can be changed by redesigning the base section to remove those "walls".by firefly555 - Delta Machines
Did the steel in those belts actually break? I thought they were designed to take a lot more tension than the usual reinforced belts. I usually don't tighten them too much but I do make sure they are all at the same tension and printing has been just fine. If only it was easy to get (or punch your own) steel timing belts, then we would be all set!by firefly555 - Delta Machines
Thanks for the detailed explanation. The problem was driving me crazy as it was seemingly a software issue. For alignment, or to show the skewing, I was printing a 20x20x150mm square U shape, walls are four lines thick, with vertical alignment lines down each side. I'm just glad it turned out to be something simple to fix.by firefly555 - Delta Machines
Over the weekend, I was tracking down an oddity. The delta had been previous printing dead straight and square but suddenly developed a skewed print for the lower 1.5cm layers. It would continue after that point straight up to completion without any further disruptions. The skew consistently shifted -3mm on "X" and +1mm on "Y". I first thought it had to do with Marlin's bed levelling so I ran autby firefly555 - Delta Machines
