A few thoughts after having printed a handful of things on the Simple Delta:
- It makes a fair amount of noise when moving the print head around, much noisier than my RRP Mendel or Printrbot Simple was. I think the noise is coming from the LM8UU linear bearings, but I'm not entirely sure. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yeah, LM8UUs are noisy, specially the cheap ones. Replace them with PLA printed ones and you will almost only hear the motors. My 3DR-S uses them and I they work very well. Autolubricated bronze bushings also work great, and are really cheap. I use them in my Rostock. The level of noise is the same as the PLA printed bushings, but they will surely last longer.
You can also use moderate accelerations and jerk to reduce noise and vibrations. I use 700mm/s2 and 8 values.
