Start-Up 3D delta printer is a small dimension delta 3D printer designed for desktop use and intended for hobbyist without previous experience with 3D printing. The print volume is currently only 160mm circle diameter, 150mm height of the object (should be extended to 160x160 mm) with unheated glass bed (currently used a glass bed with tiny layer of a dry glue for multiple prints without maintenance). Hotend E3D V6 clone with bowden extruder for 1.75mm PLA filament. Using NEMA17 stepper motors, Arduino Mega 2560 with Ramps 1.4 and A4988 StepStick stepper drivers as cheapest possible alternative. Construction is made of 30x30mm alu profiles connected by printed PLA parts. 8 mm smooth rods with bearings (LM8UU) are used with carbon rods (200 mm length) and traxxas joins for effector motion. The printer is still in development stage but also ready to use. There is used Raspberry Pi 3 instead of display and SD card connected to Arduino board. But of course can be used with this option witouth Raspberry Pi. Timing belt GT2 - pulleys 20 teeth are used. Printer size 320mm, height 520mm + spool of PLA on the top. Printer price is under 200 €.

Send me a message in case you would like to develope this printer and would need to get also the original files created in Fusion360.
