Monster Delta

Monster Delta

Build in 'Delta Bots' published by cameron, Jan 21, 2014.

As a 3rd year mechatronic engineer with a plan to print my 4th year thesis project and with no elegant backup plan, I ran into a problem, I'm gonna need a bigger printer. Loving the DeltaPrintr kickstarter, but needing it before the end of next year I have resolved to make my own.

      So far this is pretty much where I plan to keep my ideas and get feedback, I will update with a cad model after new years and am hoping to have the build operational by march. To achieve this I will be using as many bolt together bits as possible including parts from this site, laser cut parts and interesting combinations of bit and pieces such as rc car tie rods, fishing line and I am assuming an open source Arduino library or similar can be easily adapted to my needs.

      Before rating please let me get some more stuff up :) Doing full time vocation work i needed some motivation to get started... Tho might be making some useful contacts :p

      1. Special Notes

        Pictures of my proposed thesis at...
        https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j4i9uypa0fvmfe5/aZVUFXoAAP
        Note that the propellers are 14" dia (I have been offered prop's, motors and driver's by my supervisor) and I would like to print the ducts in one piece, Comments note required, advice accepted, this is a model done in Inventor by myself, it is an image to show my idea... thus super rough and not yet engineered in any way.
