Does anybody knows if the PrintrBoard works with Delta printers?

I have some plans to get a Delta printer instead of my Printrbot…Would be handy to reuse some items…

Nemas, hot end, limit switches, hobbled gear, and driver board should be reusable. You will need a different firmware.

I know I can reuse many parts. My question is for Printrboard only. Thx for your answers.

And the implicit statement that @Jeff_Karpinski was making is that Marlin supports delta printers.

5

yes - I have to look into that.

Marlin is the firmware. From my understanding, itreduces a lot of the firmware files when printrboard is selected as the board type? Don’t know if printrboardvhas the memory to support a delta?

7

Good to know. I’ve never had or seen one run on a printrboard. Marlin was forked and stripped to work on printrboards early on, and now marlin automagically reduces itself to fit

Marlin’s example_configurations/delta/Configuration* files compile for printrboards use about 35% of the memory:

AVR Memory Usage
 ----------------
Device: at90usb1286

Program:   48540 bytes (37.0% Full)
(.text + .data + .bootloader)

Data:       2622 bytes (32.0% Full)
(.data + .bss + .noinit)

Have used a Printrboard with deltas for almost a year. Works fine most of the time, but sometimes you get stalls when the buffer underruns with lots of short moves. https://github.com/brandonheller/Marlin/tree/deltabot_kosselair_pb

Convinced me.
