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.

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.
My NEMA 17 stepper motors and 12V power supply arrived yesterday and I managed to get them wired up and ready for a test.
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.
