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

uploading to sd cards is always slower than reading from them. Plus tThat sounds like you're transferring at the serial connection baudrate - which will be very slow.
Thing to remember, is that although you have a usb cable the actual communication to the printer is via a simulated old fashioned serial connection.
Why cnc and the like still use serial transfer - I have no idea, but unfortunately they still do.
Hopefuly my touch screen and it's wifi module will operate at more modern speeds. It's only the connection from the screen to the motherboard that should still run at serial baudrates.
So I should be able to upload wirelessly to the sd card at a decent speed.

Just ordered a couple of mosfets (cheers autowhiz) for offloading the heated buildplate power draw from the board.
Bought an expensive one for £7.60 and a cheap one for £3.60. Ostensibly the exact same thing.
Figure I can use the cheap one for alexa, as it's obvious the motherboard just can't handle the load transfer when the beds over about 80c and the extruder is over 240c.

Apparently the bb will be drawing around 27 amps - my electrician mate is impresseed lol
My psu is rated for 50 :-)

No sign of the wheels yet. once I've got those I can do the carriages and start on the shafts. Once I know how far apart the shafts are, I can make the effector. At which point things ought to start speeding up.
If I get a quiet day next week, I'll go get the buildplate and bottom plate made. Done a fair bit of remote support for them recently :-)
Just not sure if I need 10mm or 15mm spare at the edge. Thinking 5mm aluminium with 5mm blots for the springs. That only leaves 2.5 mm at the edge if I have 10mm rim.
I'll ask darren, they'll have a much better idea of necessary tolearances than I do.

Also promised wendy a k200 review on youtube.
Almost finished the viking helmet - padded the interior, taped the horns and bits staying brown and spray painted the 'metal' bits chrome wheel silver. Also painted my axe head silver - nordic themed meal at the restaurant of our local tech college next month, all I need now is a dead sheep to throw across my shoulders :-) And maybe another axe lol
Keep meaning to make a larger one on alexa.

Got a mate who does renacments, he's austrian and about the size of a mountain. He's got a huge fleece that would fit the bill. But a long way to go to borrow it lol
