Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 10 years ago
Quotehideehoo Got my Rev B kit today, ordered last Sunday (8/16). Everything was well packed, no missing parts. Printed parts look OK and the corners are using M4x10mm bolts and T-Nuts (I think someone mentioned they got M3 earlier in this thread). There's still the angle issue with the metal corners, but it's not hard to get everything fitted together loosely and then tighten them down. So fby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Quote3D52 Quotedavidf01 So I can get this straight I should plan on updating or adding: 1. update stepper motors to either the 76oz motors Seriouspete posted or the 0.9° step angle motors Koenig posted a few posts above. 2. update electronics to a Smoothieboard or some other board 3. update the extruder 4. Add some cooling fans to the steppers, or will upgrading them be good enough? Anything elby davidf01 - Delta Machines

Ok so while I'm waiting for my printer to be delivered I have been reviewing the documentation to assemble the printer. All I see on the google docs page is a DRAFT REV B build guide pdf. Is that the latest vesion and does anyone know if there are any mistakes in the guide that I should watch out for? Reading through this form I see lots of comments about wrong directions and I'm just wondering iby davidf01 - Delta Machines

So do the replacement steppers just mount and plug in and are ready to go or is there some kind of configuration changes that have to be made?by davidf01 - Delta Machines

QuoteSlowFoot Quotedavidf01 Quotethevisad Quotedavidf01 QuoteSlowFoot I got a couple of fans for cooling plastic and electronics, a spare thermistor (to check temperatures), and some cork to insulate the heat bed and motors. Oh, and a mk8 extruder pulley, you print the rest of the extruder once the printer is up and running. Most the parts you will want to have for upgrades you can print.

QuoteRattfink I should add that Hatchbox is pretty cheap and has been pretty good for me - plus amazon prime w/free shipping Thanks for the info on Hatchbox. I ordered the printer with one spool filament from Folger. Is Hatchbox better then the filament I'll get from Folger? I will try it on my next order.by davidf01 - Delta Machines

QuoteSeriouspete I melted and warped the original corners on my kit, then replaced those with aluminum, and replaced the steppers with some really nice strong steppers. Now my machine is super quiet and the motors barely get warm over hours of use. If it's a quick print they are cool to the touch, since they are all metal. I can't recommend replacing those steppers enough. Thanks for the reply.by davidf01 - Delta Machines

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to build my first DIY printer. The Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 seems to be one of the better deals for the price. Im wondering if anyone can answer a question or two before I buy it. Can you tell me what the differances are between rev a and rev b and have the instructions been updated to the latest model? Also are there any parts I should buy and usby davidf01 - Delta Machines
