Snowstock Delta Bot

pinshape

I wanted to build a wolfstock style delta-bot, using Makerslide linear slides. However, I had one major requirement: the belt needed to run through the inside of the Makerslide for an even cleaner look. This project is still very much in progress as I continue to work on completing the design and building the printer. To track my progress, I've been posting a detailed build log on my blog: http://andy-projects.blogspot.com/2013/12/delta-bot-build.html http://andy-projects.blogspot.com/2014/01/delta-bot-build-part-2-belt-tensioners.html http://andy-projects.blogspot.com/2014/01/delta-bot-build-part-3-effector-rods.html http://andy-projects.blogspot.com/2014/04/delta-bot-build-cooling-fan-magnetic.html Here's a quick update on the latest changes: 1.1.2014: I added a belt clip, bolt to back of makerslide carriage, belt tensioner to idler bracket, and tensioner arm. 1.15.2014: Next up, I added carriage mount for rod ends, platform (intended for budaschnozzle but lots of mounting holes for anything), and rod sleeve (for reinforcing end of carbon rods). 1.18.2014: Then, I updated the platform and rod carriage mount to improve fit with traxxas rod ends. 1.19.2014: Shortly after that, I updated the platform and rod carriage mounts to allow better clamping of traxxas rod ends including variability in rod end center width. 3.19.2014: In March, I added a shroud for 40mm fan, bowden tube mount for Budaschnozzle, 5mm spacer for Budaschnozzle, platform for magnetic bearings, and carriage mount for magnetic bearings. 4.03.2014: Next month, I added M5 threaded rod end caps for magnetic bearings. 9.8.2014: Then, I added upper and lower braces to stiffen the structure. 5.15.2016: In May, I added new versions of the platform and sliders to give more clearance to tie rod ends and improved fan shrouds, two versions. 12.26.2016: And finally, I designed a RAMPS mount to neatly attach RAMPs and Arduino to bottom of platform and added this as a new thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1997781.
