Hola como estas, desde Colombia, me gustaria me pudieras hechar una mano con la configuración si pudieras. Hice la mia de igual forma, una Delta (Altura Total de 1115 mm.) con usillos de de 8 mm, motores Nema 17, motores invertidos, cama caliente cuadrada de (215x215)mm. con espacio suficiente para mas adelante de (300x300)mm., me llevo unos 6 meses en hacerla, claro esta que dedicandole solo una horita por cuestiones de trabajo. Pero a la hora de configurarla me ha dado mucha lata. logre imprimir 3 figuras de calibracion y valla la sorpresa que me lleve, la verdad no me esperaba la gran presición que tiene a pesar de ser una maquina hechiza (echa a mano y con estructura metalica - soldada) para mayor rigidez y facilidad para mi. me gustaria me contaras que programas has utilizado para hacerla funcionar como debe ser (He utilizado de todo y no se por cual irme), la verdad solo quiero una maquina que me funcione y que me haga lo que quiero y ya (Tengo Instalados Arduino 1.8.5, Cura 4.7, Slic3r 1.3.0, Simplify3D 4.1.2, Pronterface 1.6.0, Repetier 2.7) y ya hasta de tantos Marlin (hasta la versión 1.1.9) que he instalado ya no se ni cual es el que me funciona mejor, me gustaria tener como un punto de partida para que funcione asi como la suya, suave y sin esos saltos tan bruscos. Si puede escribirme al E-Mail: frad25@hotmail.com se lo agradeceria bastante, con eso le envio fotos y videos para que vea como funciona mi impresora y tal vez me de algunas sugerencias. Gracias de todas maneras por atender a esta.
Hola Renee, I don't have much experience with the Arduino and firmwares. I build this on a BeagleBone Black with a Replicape (and another DIY/prototype version using external stepper motor drivers) with Octoprint as an interface. The BeagleBone Black is a very nice platform with onboard microcontrollers in addition to a network and Linux capable CPU but it hasn't really taken off as I expected it would. The custom boards are just cheaper to put together with integrated stepper drivers, I guess. It was a fun learning experience to build my own printer, but I've been doing more 3D modelling and just want a printer that works so I don't tinker with this old beast much anymore. It takes a lot of fine tuning as every model presents new challenges. Things have come a long way since I last looked into it, with automatic bed probing and calibration but I remember when manually calibrating and tuning these images were very helpful: boim.com/DeltaUtil/CalDoc/Calibration.html When making adjustments, I would use a binary search to zero in on the correct measurements until I got motion in a flat plane using G-code commands to move the head a little at first, then further, as well as using the arrow keys in Octoprint to move around. Can't say much for the other slicers, but Cura has served me well. Back then, I could even slice directly onboard using Octoprint and an old Cura plugin/dll (deprecated, even then - you get far more control and options running a full version of Cura). I hope your build goes well.
Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , strain wave reducer, robot joint , over 30 years experience
nice printer
Please share more and the results of this built
Up the acceleration... That's printing at maybe 40mm/s... Try 8000mm/s for acceleration value
Can I ask some questions
If the filment had broken , how can i click pause and change it then I continue
Hi. If you do not mind my question, what is that blue square parts between the balls and carbon rods? they hold ball sticky to rod?
No, just a bit of lens cleaning cloth to help them slide easily. The springs hold things together.
@@TroyMackay Looks like a heavy duty construction should give high precision? magnetic ball joints?

@@TroyMackay Ok. Entiendo, sin embargo muchas gracias. Creí que utilizabas Arduino y Marlin como yo... Tambien agradezco su pronta respuesta.
