3DR parts print started!

This is a square tube version (no 20x20 alu extrusion here).

I have almost all the vitamins, the only missing things are the ball connectors and the springs.

Im thinking on using 3mm filament, @Richard_Horne , is that going to be a problem?, i have a bowden tube for 3mm filament.

Nice! @Nicolas_Arias #3DR Modifications Already ! great stuff I’ll have to get cracking on the next blog post :slight_smile:

You did work out the motor wires go down the tube then.

looks great, can you please share your base files as I have a heap of 20x20 tube.

@Richard_Horne , yeah, i saw that the cables go inside the tubes. i plan on drilling a 15mm hole on the inner side of the tube, so i can pass the cables.

Also, i have to modify the top cover, so theres access to the inner part of the tube to put the nut that holds it.

forget about the last bit (top cover) i see that there already holes!

@Auzze_Auzze give me a few days so i can assemble the printer, once i do that i will publish the files, if @Richard_Horne agrees!

Where did you get your bowden tube?

That’s slick! I had thought about using electrical conduit a la iquizzle’s uConduit (http://reprap.org/wiki/Uconduit). I have some ideas for this and other deviations but this is my first delta and I’m playing it safe for now.

Interested in using 3mm here too, since I have ~20lb in PLA and nylon and requisite hot ends. I planned to get new kit for this but if I can reuse my 3mm stuff that would be handy.

Tubes and smooth rods are cutted. No i need to print the top part so i can assemble and do the tube drilling.

i think that when i manage to get the basic structure and check that the top and bottom parts go as expected with the square tube i will publish the files
