DELTA PIPE PRINTER (DPP) Please see the DELTA PIPE PRINTER STEP 1 TOP FRAME for more references and instructions http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1344167 No files to download, the configuration.scad is needed to upload this step. Custom Section CORNER SECTION X 3 Cut nine pieces of ABS pipe at 1.25 inch each. Ensure they are flush when connecting two parts together. Use three ABS DWV Hub x Hub x Hub Sanitary Tees. Use six DWV 60 Degree Hubs. Use ABS Cement. Cut your pipes. Assemble one ABS DWV Hub x Hub x Hub Sanitary Tee with two DWV 60 Degree Hubs using the 1.25 pipe cut earlier. Align the small line from the Tee with the 60-degree hub. Once you know how, retry with ABS cement. The three corner sections must be glued like in the picture below. Do this three times. The small lines on the side of the Tee must align with the line on the 60-degree hub. PIPE SECTION Cut three pieces of 7.25 inch ABS pipe. Assemble the pipes to the CORNER SECTION so a big triangle is formed. Ensure all pipes assembled give the same length when assembled. Don't cement this since you need some looseness when installing it on the main frame. The result should look like the image below. The final frame with the BED should resemble this. Note that the three remaining 1.25 inch pipes are used to lock the BED FRAME on the bottom section. No cement is required since we want to be able to remove the BED FRAME for maintenance. A 16-inch 5mm sphere glass from a hardware store was used for the BED (they cut glass on demand). A skin was applied to the glass so the PLA sticks to it without a heated bed or blue tape. http://www.printinz.com/printinz-3d-printer-skins/
