The design is done. I'm not entirely happy with it, mostly because I'm trying to make a small printer with big parts and it isn't working out.

Scratch that, still have the drive gear/pulley and motor gear to do as well. Those should be quick.
Holy mother of a fillet. You never realize how bloody hard it is to fillet between a box with an arbitrary translation and rotation, and the cutout of a circle, until you try it. I spent literally an...
Update, V0.0 will have a 95x95 cylinder build volume. Due to unforeseen chamfering (which is totally necessary, I won't take any arguments) the base/frame of a 100x100mm printer is too large for the...
Out of curiosity, is anyone other than me interested in building this printer? If so I'll work on tidying up the source files for release and doing a BOM and assembly instructions, if not I wont...
Control board is a Mks Sbase, chosen purely for the reason it has software settable driver current and was the cheapest board I could find with this feature. The SD card based text file config is...
It's really coming along. Just ordered the non printed parts (I'm probably a bit short on cash now but Uni will be starting soon so I won't have much time...). They should arrive within the next...
Because I'm on a netbook and it has a heart attack and a half when it has to preview, let alone render, high resolution models :P
The resolution can be easily adjusted in the file from a "res"...

Ain't she purrdy? Finally finished the shoulder. Getting that thing right so everything lines up, fits and doesn't get in the way of anything else was...
Haha, I'll add hamish to the list. I've managed to get the bolt sizes down to something reasonable (ish). I think the first model will have a print volume around 100mm diameter and 100mm tall. The...
A slight update, I'm running into a design hiccup of trying to get a thick enough arm using bolts of reasonable length (i.e. not 150mm long) and have considered two options. Either splitting the gear...
The printer is still in the design phase, hence no pictures. You can check out pictures of the original GUS and a revision done a while ago by jfriessen to get an idea of what it'll look like. I'm...
So, a while ago I posted about a grounded (inverted) delta project of mine, promising stupidly optimistic completion dates and seemingly giving up on the project. For those of you unaware, it is a...
