Heaven help me - I've just bought a delta kit :-)

Thanks for the W10 thing. I'll check it out. As far as my versions of the bracket, I am not sure it actually helps, but I like the fact that the spring is captured, at least on the bottom. This printer so far is a journey, so if a newer better bracket comes along, I go with it, ( at least it (the printer) reaches the level of perfection your Alexa reached. Then, like you , I will be hesitant to modify it. Again, if it ain't broke, dont mess with it )

My fans came in today, so I installed these part ducts (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2479638 ) and I did not like them. As you said, they interfere with the x and y belts, and they also don't point correctly. They point directly on the heater duct not the nozzle. Interesting experiment. I went back to your solution. I do think that your solution would be better with one of those turbo fans. Any desire to modify yours or release the design file. You design in openscad, correct?

Many pages ago you mentioned that the cooling fans were always on and asked if there was a way to turn them off. did you ever find that out?

It is weird re-reading this thread with so many posts gone.

On your BB, thats some chunk of aluminum bed. Do you know how you will heat that?
3 vs 6 mounting points, If you use 6, how to you level that. You have 3 point down pat.

Any pictures of the BB?


EDIT: I tried S3D at 60mm/s , 200/60 , 0.2mm on 0.4mm nozzle printing a benchy ( I know, but i like them and have enough to compare ). WOW. Near perfect. I can even read the printing on the stern. Only slight issue was incomplete filling of top layer on smoke stack.

I think I am a convert to S3D. Damn, its windowz based. ;-(

I do have stringy output from the extruder while it is heating up so the skirt has a trail of string while printing and can get caught anywhere. How do you combat that? retract at end of prior print and then prime on the start Gcode?

I think I'll try that next print.

Also time to get off of PLA any try PET-G
