Re: XL delta build

I have been having a problem with the auto level feature on repetier. It move the effector in a square to the next point instead of directly to the next location. And is there a way to keep the probe extended to speed things up?

Re: XL delta build

Is there a formula for the arm length that I need to conform to? I read in the arduino marlin/repetier firmware that you have to input the arm length. I'm sure there is some type of optimal ratio.... Right?

Is there really anything that burns ...

And i cut the base plate to fit in between the pillars

And then JB welded the resistors to the bottom of the plate.

Re: XL delta build

I'm going to put a gfi circuit on that line, and ground the plate to prevent shorts. I was wondering what you guys would use to insulate the bottom side of the hot plate? I was thinking truck bed liner?

Re: XL delta build

The top, heater plate and bottom are $5.00 table tops from Home Depot. 18 diameter. I grabbed a outlet box and a 6slot cat cable plate. I cut the cable in half and soldered the pairs of like colors together. Eg) orange w/ orange and white. Then assigned each to either A+ A- B+ or B-. I think it will ...

XL delta build

Hello all, I recently caught a bug for 3d printing, and as i learned more about them i saw they had small print volumes. And well bigger is always better, right? So I stumbled onto delta style printers, and loved the simplicity of their movement. Though all the manufacturers build volumes were less ...
