Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I just launched a kickstarter project of special interest to all Delta printer enthusiasts.

Its a single low cost linear module that is designed for both cartesian and Delta configurations,
using a precision aluminum extrusion for housing/guide/motor mount/carriage.
Its motion is driven by precision 4mm/revolution ball screw and 200 step motor for a net linear motion of .02 mm per step (less with micro stepping of course).
A Delta machine can use 3 modules as tower/motion/60 degree mounting, so becomes very simple.

I want to thank see-me-cnc for getting me interested in Delta machines, and if the project funds, I hope I can entice them
(or other Delta manufacturers) to design a higher end larger machines using the modules.

If you would like to support it, thanks! I'd encourage you to spread the news to other maker forums and groups.
This takes 3 custom molds for 2 extrusions and an adapter to keep part count and machining low.
If the project funds future versions of the modules will be possible at lower costs.

As is, the kickstarter award for 3 1 meter (35 inch of motion) modules is $730 plus shipping.

Please spread the news!

no way.

Cool project. But i think you should redo your video. It is not exciting enough to get the attention of some people.

I don't get it. What are you selling?

Lost interest when I saw this.

Have you commissioned any test extrusions yet, or is that just a concept?
Will it be metal on metal contact, or is there a sleeve or liner on the bearings to keep them from wearing into the aluminum?
Are there any shops in the states that could do the extrusions? I'd check with Faztek before I'd send that work overseas.

I didn't see any actual products that you were making and selling, just some idea in your head and some resold RAMBos.

Bearings riding on aluminum is not an option. Sorry, but this doesn't look like a good idea at all. The price is more than a precision ground steel recirculating ball carriage and rail system of comparable lengths.

You have an idea, and it can be refined to be a good one, but very rarely do "ideas" make it as kickstarter campaigns. You have no actual POC or "Bling" to sell your idea.

go back to the workbench, come up with true working prototype or two showing your ability to work through complex engineering issues and then people will bet on you! You just don't have enough proof to make pudding yet...

Good Luck.
