Re: 3DR "Simple" Delta Printer

I built a 3DR Simple without a Printrbot Simple because I could print all of the parts on my Buccaneer. The printer I built is pretty tall, with a maximum build height of around 43cm:



(I've since moved the extruder closer to the center of the printer to reduce the length of the Bowden tube, and made other changes which you can see in some of the pictures below)

I ended up going with an E3D hot-end and needed to make several modifications to the effector:




You can download the design here.

I also made a blower fan mount and blower duct that work great with the new effector.



I also made an adjustable mount for attaching an LCD:




I also made a quick-but-suprisingly-effective mounting adapter that allows me to mount the RUMBA electronics to the top of my 3DR Simple:



Thanks John for coming up with this 3DR variant! I've quite enjoyed building it.

And, finally, self replication:
