Re: Rostock Parts no where to be found.
I had a Rostock, it worked well, but I think you may be missguided on it's benefits. Like others, I moved away from it for a reason. At any rate, I fail to see the point of building a delta the way...

There hasn't been too much recent research in direct pellet Bowden drive and this may be a missed opportunity. Specifically for delta printers, I feel like we aren't maximizing the vertical space that...

Your chance of faillure if you are determined are slim, it's just a matter of how good the end result is, you would be surprised at how little mass it takes to effect the top speed of a delta. I don't...

Hmm... not to rain on your parade, but I don't think this is a viable option, not with pellets at least. I've built and operated a lyman-esque extruder for the past few months. There are two main...

View ArticleRe: interest in pellet Bowden extruder for deltas?
Mmm unfortunately melted plastic doesn't really act as a liquid. It's more of a gooey paste. It wouldn't "flow" like water from a vat. That's why an auger and a massive motor is necessary -- to push...

From the funnel down the tube, there is no die, its just the plastic itself going with gravity, then the auger bit will drive it to extrude.

Even abs would not be a good material to use in a heated build chamber. It will deform or become brittle. Look into light metal fab for the parts and high temp grease. If designed properly you can use...
