Re: Big Aluminum Printer

I agree. Once the right chemical company or appropriately skilled group of open source proponents recognize the need/demand, it will only be a matter of time. Thermal contraction was actually a feature purposefully designed into ABS when it was formulated with injection molding in mind. This ...

Re: Big Aluminum Printer

The bed is 24" in diameter and the print height is roughly 30". I'm still playing with the arm lengths, but I think the final printable area will be somewhere between 18" and 24" in diameter. Obviously, anything that large would have to be printed hollow or it would take an age, so I'm working on ...

I have a running forum over on the Delta Robot 3D Printers Google group discussing the big delta that I'm building if you're interested in taking a look. https://groups.google.com/forum ...

Greetings from East Texas

Hello everyone. I'm a graduate student in mechanical engineering at LeTourneau University. I've been working with 3D printing at school for about a year now, and I'm fascinated with delta bots. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until I can afford to own one personally, but in the mean time, I get ...
