C-beam Delta Printer

This delta build will be documented as I go. I am taking a new approach to my building style with this project and designing on the fly for each component. This project will take a little longer this way but can allow for design solutions that would have other wise been over looked with a CAD only upfront design.

This should be a fun build. Join along as I build my large format Delta.

--Frame Details--
Vertical C-beam: 1500mm
Horizontal C-beam: 500mm
Column center to center width: 635mm
Total delta printer height: 1580mm

--Electronics--
Nema 23 x,y,z (α , β , γ)
Nema 17 Extruder
E3D V6 / Volcano Hotend
Smoothie V1.1 Board




The frame as pictured currently sports six different vertex designs I completed some time last year. After printing and testing each I have decided on the vertex design that will work best for this build.



Now I have to print all six. The prototype corners each take around 14hrs to print with a low infill (84hrs total) printing them with a higher infill will take me a little over a week. I plan to start printing them when my petg order arrives. Currently I am prototyping in pla.

Frame design complete, Printing corner vertex files now. Now on to motor mounts and carriage design.
