3D print farm has grown by another new Delta

The new belt driven Delta is out performing all my expectations much quieter faster and smoother than the other machines, I will convert the small leadscrew delta to a belt driven one in the next few weeks. Will be assisting Christiaan and Magda with their Delta Build as well over the next few weeks, I have printed all their parts and they are just accumulating the last bits and pieces to complete their build.

3D Delta printer aliminum Reprap is running smoothly and is very fast

My new Delta runs very smoothly and very fast, all the motion is fluid and the print quality is as good as any of my other 3D printers I am very happy with the outcome, it is way better than I had anticipated I will now convert my lead screw Delta and build another for the print farm. My printing times and output can now double even triple.

Reprap Delta Nozzle assembly, extruder and heat bed completed, calibration done.

The last few days have been busy with lots of family events as the two oldest young woman in our house hold have had their Matric dances (Final year school functions) together with more outings. I have been busy printing parts for a friends build too. However I did manage to complete the last few fabrications for the new machine, the nozzle assembly extruder and heat bed are now all assembled and I have completed the calibration. This delta moves very quietly and smoothly and will be very fast, hope the extruder can keep up. Have a few wiring items to complete before some test printing which I am looking forward too.
