IcePick Delta 3D Printer

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Hackaday user TTN and Matt Kimbal have been working on development of the IcePick Delta. The IcePick Delta is a 3D printer designed without linear rods or bearings. The final outcome of the 3D printer, nearing completion, will be a streamlined machine that is simple and affordable, with easy maintenance due to the design which features less parts than usual.

Awsome!

I have been following the firepick delta for a while, and i was bummed that it didn't make the finalist in the hackaday prize, this is an intresting update.

I have been also developing printer inspired by Firepick but with uv laser and resin. What I can't find with what software to run this printer. Tried ReplicatorG, Slic3r, Cuda, CW no success with any of those probably i can't configure them properly. I have RAMPS 1.4, Icepick Marlin firmware from Github (btw delta example configurations, when trying to upload, throw errors).

Any suggestions how and which software to configure?

Bonapartista,

Post an enquiry about your software difficulties here: http://3dprintboard.com/forumdisplay...ents-to-Marlin

The Marlin gurus might have an answer for you if you tell them what errors are coming up.

that is a really ingenious design - about as close to a reprap as you can currently get.
So when they say it prints slowly - what kind of speed ar we talking about ?
