I wanted to tackle this 3D Printer Project because the current affordable printers were great at $150 to $200 for a standard 220x220x240 or 8"x8"x9" model. However, I needed parts that required printing in sections, and most of my major components would need 8 prints each taking 4 hours, totaling 32 hours of printing time. So, I decided to use two other 3D Printers as parts to build a larger and stronger 440x440x300 Printer capable of printing the parts I needed in one go. To make this happen, I'm using my remaining Delta Kossel 180x330 Printer to print the required parts. All the prints listed in the Project were made on the Delta Kossel printer, which I'll be upgrading to a 330x330 model soon. In addition, I'll be utilizing and remixing existing Anet, Tronxy, and Pursia Printed parts, modifying them to fit my project's needs. As of May 24, 2017: I've finally assembled the printer, performed a dry run, and it worked flawlessly. Now, I just need to print a few more items, enclose it, and it'll be ready to start printing my Comic-Con items in one print. My next project will be upgrading or building a larger Kossel Delta Printer from 180x300 up to 220, maybe even 330. As of May 31, 2017: The printer is functioning and printing my larger items. All parts were printed from ABS at 240 Hotend, 110 Hotbed, and .2 mm with 80% infill using a .5 mm Tip. The final component is a 1/2 inch PVC Frame with corrugated side panels. I've replaced the old Thermostat with a 25A Expansion Board General Heated Bed (available on eBay). My last step will be to install extra lighting inside the cabinet and a remote camera for monitoring progress. Since everyone here knows how to add these features, there's no need for me to elaborate. Good luck with your build! Hopefully, this project will help you determine what you need.
