3D Printer

Nuts and Bolts

Today my large order of bolts, nuts and washers arrived at the door so I decided to assemble the base frame and stepper mounts. My custom CNC HDPE nuts seem to have worked perfectly.

Starting to look like a 3D printer

Been working some long hours in the workshop and made great progress on the Delta 3D Printer! I have the three main structural pieces and motor mounts finished. I have also almost finished the electronics enclosure.

What I’ve got so far

Parts have begun arriving for my delta 3D printer. So here are the things I currently have – I’ll tell you how much I paid, what the quality is like, how long they took to arrive etc.

I have been following the reprap project for a few years now and fell in love with the first video I saw of a small machine moving around frantically, extruding plastic layer by layer to create a 3D object.
