QuoteTraumflug Quoteandychang28@Traumflug: Not trying to mock you here, but are you suggesting that people don't care about their money when purchasing products? I'm not sure what people are thinking, I can only watch them. I see many people ordering RAMPS twice, three times and finding this to be normal. Like "WTF, it was cheap, so I simply buy another one". I do not see them asking the questiby Qdeathstar - General
there's irony about complaining about your inability to commercialize your 3d printing technology in a topic complaining about the commercialization of 3d printing.by Qdeathstar - General
well, personally metric makes more since to me for mm and cm, but after you get into meters feet makes more since. an 8ft ceiling is a lot better than a 2.44m ceilingby Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
I do not have that skill. I don't really even have the skill to source everything (i mean, i could source everything, but not the time) The advantage of the kit is you do go "Ah shit, forgot to get those m5 t-nuts, i'm one short!!!!!" because in the US you gotta order those online..by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
well, for me, in order to bring 3d printers to the market, businesses need to want to sell 3d printers which means they need to make money. The masses aren't interested in troubleshooting problems are putting things together, or learning what a thermistor is. They don't even want to own a screw driver. They want to print a dog. That is it. Makerbot is making it work, Good for them. You've reallyby Qdeathstar - General
open the source code up and press the delete button? why can't you just leave it be?by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
Hello, Currently I am leaning toward the utilitibots model. It has metal corners and magballs... But I don't like the fsr or control board. How difficult would it be to swap it out for dc's ir sensor and duet electronics? What would I need to print to get it up and running?by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
deltas are known from having poor dimensional accuracyby Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
I'm thinking it might be oozing from when the z layer changes.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
After talking to Roland, it's seems like the main differences he making Is to go with a 24v heater, which will be smaller (250mm) but have the same frame. Swapping out the heatbed later sounds like an ok plan, and I think I prefer think3dprint3d's duet electronics to utililibots smoothieboard clone.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
I am thinking about, but for example Quote Motedis sell two types of 20mm extrusion, the I-type and the B-type. I used the I-type, however it wouldn’t fit into the vertical holes in the Robotdigg metal corners without enlarging the slots with a Dremel, and I needed to tap the end hole M5 myself. So B-type verticals would probably be better, as long as the slots are not too wide for the wheels. Mby Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
well.. think3dprint3d is no longer offering the XL beta kits. They are working on a smaller kit in between the XL and a mini. I am dissapoint! so, I guess it's between HKbay, builda3dprinter, or the utilibots one.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
what kinds of tools do you think I should have to calibrate a delta? I've got a caliper, level, square, as well as, ofc, an assortment of hand tools.. but anything else you'd recommend?by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
Thank you dc42. I am excited to start this project and put my el-cheapo prussa i3 in the garage.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
check the extrusion tempeture with a multimeter.by Qdeathstar - Printing
DC42, I tried contacting think3dbuild3d but I wasn't able to get a response. What is the best way to contact them?by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
Hello. I was wondering if there are limitations in the types of material you can print. Also, what is the life expectancy of this product.. the gears are made of Nylon, how long do they last?by Qdeathstar - General
I am going to see if i can also purchase a kossel xl from this company. Did you buy the aluminum corners from them or from robotdigg? Did you buy the ones they have for kossel xl or the standard ones? does the printer come with the duet board or did you pay extra for that? How is the thing printing?by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
you might check the soldering on the board... sometimes with cheapo boards the soder joints are poorly made...by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
I think I'd rather have a higher quality delta than a low quality prussa. I think getting everything level is key,. I have a torpedo level.. and a four foot level for the towers.... but, if you have an idea of additional calibration tools that would be useful, I'd appreciate it.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
thank you, DC, I think I found the topic you mentioned, but it doesn't seem they ever finished it. It looks like they we having problems with calibration.... does anyone have a recommendation which company is most reputable. I bought a replikeo prussaI3 and while it was a great learning experience, all-thread and questionable electronics, I'm trying it avoid in the future. Also, since decidingby Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
I was also thinking about this kit: 1) is ramps enough for a delta xl? 2) could I get this and simply add these aluminum corners? or pby Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
well, I asked them as you said but they said no. which is strange since they have the linear rails and extrusions for an xl.... Quote Sorry that Kossel XL full kits are Not available.

Yes, i liked the aluminum corners, sadly they dont make an XL so i'd only be able to build 17cm... the XL goes to 26cm... quite a difference.by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
Hello guys, After originally thinking about sourcing all the parts myself, i've come to the realization that its beyond my scope.. so i'm settling for the next best? thing. I am looking for a good quality Kossel XL or larger that i can buy. I was looking at the buildA3dprinter kit which would cost me around $650, but it has printed corners and i was worried that might be an issue. Basically,by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
hello. I was printing AFK today, using ABS... my heatbed uses a 24v supply, but the rest of the printer uses a 12v supply. It appears that the 24v supply went bad, the bed cooled, causing the abs to warp, bend up and break. It got stuck in my extruder fan blades, meaning that my extruder was no longer cooling... it looked like the abs melted all the way up into the Bowden tube....because I canby Qdeathstar - Printing
yeah, I just don't have a great feel for them, plus, on my machine they are difficult to access, plus when in doubt MOAR power... but obviously not the solution here,by Qdeathstar - Printing
thanks for al the responses. it could be that I applied too much current, but I had only added current after having extruder issues... After posting this, I read that was possible that having the springs on the extruder too tight would cause the clicking so I loosed them up and that seemed to help. on stepper drivers, do they sell them with a better pot? or maybe a pot I can set digitally?by Qdeathstar - Printing
Hello, I am having an issue where my stepper motor makes clicking noises some of the time, and spins back a few steps before moving foward again... I thought it might be a clogged nozzle, but I just cleaned out my nozzles yesterday, in an attempt to fix the issue. I also thought it might be that the first layer was to low, but adjusting higher didn't have an effect. I have also tried slowing orby Qdeathstar - Printing
thanks. So, i think I'd rather have the arms stick inside the frame, only. but if it makes a huge cost difference maybe I can sacrifice there. I read that if I want to print a 300mm circle, I need ~375mm build area, plus whatever I need to "keep it in"by Qdeathstar - Delta Machines
