Delta-T: Tensegrity 3D Printer
thingiverse
This inventive printer utilizes a system of fishing line to suspend and move the print head within the workspace. A spring-loaded tension pole keeps each line taut by pressing down on the carriage plate. This unique setup effectively constitutes a dynamic tensegrity structure, one similar in concept to delta printers but differing slightly in design. The end result is an ideal project for anyone willing to devote considerable time and effort into building - and fine-tuning - this innovative 3D printer. Knowingly, I'm familiar with other projects employing similar approaches; these designs might be worth investigating further: Design Makes Share's introduction of the Sky Delta and a listing of wire-suspended delta printers available online.
