StartUp3D delta printer

thingiverse

Start-Up 3D delta printer is designed for desktop use, intended for hobbyists without prior experience with 3D printing. The print volume measures 160mm circle diameter, 150mm height of objects (to be extended to 160x160 mm). An unheated glass bed is used, covered in a thin layer of dry glue to prevent maintenance between prints. A Hotend E3D V6 clone with bowden extruder handles 1.75mm PLA filament. NEMA17 stepper motors power the printer, paired with an Arduino Mega 2560 and Ramps 1.4 boards using A4988 StepStick drivers for cost-effective performance. The construction is built from 30x30mm aluminum profiles connected by printed PLA parts. Eight millimeter smooth rods with LM8UU bearings support carbon rods (200 mm long) and traxxas joints, facilitating effector motion. Although still in development, the printer is ready to use. A Raspberry Pi 3 has replaced a display and SD card, connecting directly to the Arduino board. However, this option can be used without the Raspberry Pi. Timing belt GT2 pulleys with 20 teeth are utilized. The printer measures 320mm by 520mm (including PLA spool height) and is available for under 200 euros.
