Oh wow!!! That’s a lot of corner brackets. Using a qube and extending its corner into 3 arms. It’s exquisite… Is getting to the print to get it off the bed ok, doesn’t actually matter it just so nice to look at.
that looks awesome…
Any advantages over a regular Delta design?
@Keith_Applegarth Looks cool, and the frame is insanely strong and well-aligned because it’s all metal right angles.
@Michael_Scholtz To make it easier to get parts out, the front three extrusions “corner” can be removed without affecting the rest of the printer, but I haven’t decided whether I want to do that yet.
And yeah… the frame was a bit more expensive than the other bots I’ve built, but mostly because I had Misumi precision-cut the 45 degree miter extrusions for the bottom frame. That’s optional, as are the big 5-bolt corner plates. For the minimum frame build, this format uses only 5 more extrusions and 2 fewer corner brackets than a standard “cube with legs” frame kit like Misumi HAUBE5-2020.
It looks like Scotty tried to beam up two printers together, one cartesian and one delta, and some accident happened…
Finally nice to see it finished. It was a little hard to picture it working when I saw it when I visited. Great Job.
looks like it not only would have little vibrations but also survive a crash landing +1
