Platform and Carriages Finished
Finally the platform and the three carriages are complete! It’s been quite a challenge making these on my CNC router but I’ve pulled it off. This 3D printer is getting closer and closer to completion.

Bearing Joints
In the original design a joint that allowed the delta arms to pivot along two axes was purely a bush fitting, which would eventually loosen and create backlash. I decided to make a version that incorporated small bearings to increase the smoothness and prevent backlash.
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.
