Giant Delta 3D Printer Buildvlog  

all 3 :D - short build updates, more detailed builds and voice-over-insights and i always love to see other peoples way of modeling.

... but if i had to choose: long, detailed videos with a lot of explanation. Sure, those are way more effort to produce, but those insights are the reason i love youtube.

Thanks for your reply and subscribing! I was thinking of the same. And I think they are about the same amount of work. The shorter easier to watch video's are a lot of work in editting and those longer detailed video's are more work in preparation. So my guess is that it will even out.

Hey Anthony, thanks for the comment! I did consider the resonance, and thermal deformation but concluded that it would make the project way too complex and assume that the effect of perfecting those variables would have a very limited impact on the print quality. So simply put I accepted them to be known unknowns. There are a couple alternatives for the kinematics, the reason why I went for this specific setup was to eliminate (or as far as possible) backlash in the system. in the following years I did see a couple alternative methods but decided to just stick with what I was already working on. Thanks for the compliments! I want to continue but it has been delayed a lot due to the purchase of a new home, I have a new studio/workshop there that I am definately going to share the build of!

Thanks :)

Thanks! I definately want to get back to the delta printer. I had some other things that I wanted to finish first, but most of those are done now. So I'll continue the build and make a new video on this project soon!

You are right, the important thing is that the distance between the center of each of the bearing balls is the same. It is easier to determine the correct length though when they are straight (in this instance).
