beside the plastic parts， is there anything you need to source？
And where a you located？
I managed to find the rest of the parts. I just bought a rostock pla set from e-bay. The reason I want to go rostock is because I believe its a superior design to kessel for my heated chamber build. The design of the kessel is much more prone to heat propagation than rostock, steel vs alu railing, ball bearings vs plastic wheels. The plastic parts I ordered are only a temporary measure as I will be replicating the parts in mild steel. I plan on running the chamber in the 50-90c range necessitating to watercool only the head of the printer. The only part I am left with is the ends which I am planing on building out of cast iron. Finding two platforms for me to cut and build out of cast iron will be the challenge, for now I will be doing them in MDF and get the printer running, once the printer is performing as it should I will be replacing the wood with cast iron or steel plate. I may convert from belt to chain as well.
I also believe I can make rostock design much less prone to warping than initially intended as the steel railing needs to be put on a stretch vs compression as in current design.
If I am barking up the wrong tree with all of this it will be a matter of buying extruded alu and some plastic parts and moving the other parts in. My plan is to learn more about delta style printers, simply put I want to expand my knowledge and this seems like a good hobby for someone like me.
