Andy, I just came across a youtube video of the PrntQB V3 printing... [www.youtube.com] Are you going to release it soon? I also noticed that it looks like you went back to using the belts instead of...

Hi Brent I won't be releasing the V3. It's just a scaled up version of the V1 (on Thingiverse) with new components from the Sakura Rev 3 (also on Thingiverse). The V2 was purely an experiment to see...

Thanks for all the info Andy. I just started ordering all the parts for my PrntQB v2 build. I figured an inexpensive build is a great way to get started in this hobby. Since I am new to this and I...

There are "print it forward" threads where you can ask for 3D printed parts. People who received free parts there hopefully still read those threads and can help you out :) Also there is 3dhubs.com

Was just wondering, do you guys think the aluminium tubing is strong enough? I noticed a few people are using carbon fibre rods... Would it be worth filling the aluminium tubing with resin or...
View ArticleRe: Cherry Pi III Is Available
The acid test as to the suitability of the rods is when you have your 'spider' together and secured to the tower carriages. At that point you can try to manually move the effector to see if there is...

Can anyone point to a good source of information on auto-leveling / probing a delta (Rostock Mini Pro) with Repeiter firmware? I am constantly having issues with the first layer of my prints and was...

Thank you for putting this together. I have been considering exploring auto-leveling. Plus it looks like I would have a reason to get a trinket.
View ArticleRe: Cherry Pi III Is Available
I bit the bullet and decided on pultruded carbon fibre arms. It's probably overkill but they happen to make them in 6mm OD 4mm ID and at a reasonable cost. It was less than AU$20 for 2x 1 metre...

Totally understand that! I was concerned about the extra weight that would have been added in filling the tube too... I was even thinking at one stage that expandable filler foam (used in patching...

I personally think that you are over-thinking the whole heat and mechanical stress issue. :) The thing that I like about Andy's CP implementation with the spherical magnets is how easy it is to change...

Actually swapping out the rods with the new design is nearly as easy. The Spectra just loops over the screw in the effector base. All that is required is to pop the rods out and unhook the Spectra. An...
