Metal 3-D Printer v1.0

thingiverse

The Metal Delta RepRap v1 features an inverted Rostock-like platform that moves a substrate beneath a MIG welder for steel printing using standard welding wire. For further details, refer to G.C. Anzalone et al.'s "Low-Cost Open-Source 3-D Metal Printing" (IEEE Access, in press) with DOI 10.1109/ACCESS.2013.2293018. The open-access preprint also provides build instructions, BOM, and cost breakdown; the assembly process is relatively straightforward, taking less than a day when all components are available.
