I posted this on the reprap forums and figured I would share here as well.

"I am preparing my delta so it can have a heated chamber. At this point I have done the following.

1 - Printed an ABS end effector
2 - Aluminum plates are holding the effector sandwiched and stable even under high heat from the j-head.
3 - Aluminum rod arms (soon to be replaced with CF arms to reduce some weight, the end effector is getting very heavy)
4 - Added an automotive auxiliary ceramic heater and necessary wiring.
5 - Added a blower to evacuate fumes and heat rapidly.


The next steps will be.

1 - Print revised carriage holders in ABS
2 - Devise side walls with cork insulation.
3 - Devise a brush style air separator to keep the hot air in the chamber. (these will go into the belt runways)
4 - Devise a belt side service port or door.
5 - Front door, piano hinge, foam strip insulation & HDD magnets as a latch.


I have a question for those who have heated chamber experience. What kind of temps should I be shooting for? I was thinking of setting 40c and working my way up. Any suggestions on this? Yes I will be printing ABS.

Here is a link to my blog to show the progress so far. http://engineerd3d.ddns.net/tuki-15-...-preparations/"
