I would like to build a Cherry Pi III “ish” delta printer. I will use many of the parts and idea from this forum. And this thingiverse page.
- 5/18/2015 Start of the Cherry Pi III project
- 5/18/2015 Disc's for spool printed.
- 5/19/2015 Tried acetone vapor bath just fro the heck of it.
- 5/20/2015 3D printed parts for base.
Sourcing a few parts have been difficult
- Magnetic balls
- * http://www.magnet4less.com/ need to figure out what to order
Tim recomended the Airtripper Bowden Extruder BSP Edition
Many parts were sourced from eBay, Amazon, or openbuilds.com
I like this Lightweight end effector plate for Delta But it would need various modifications depending on what we attach to it.
Interesting ideas
the adjustment you need to make for size of parts (once you have your Z correct) is the delta rod length. You can use Rich's M666 command for that. The formula is (measured length/specified length) x delta rod length = new delta rod length
