[ Closed ] Introducing Three New Solidoodle Models (Page 15 of 28)

I heard Deltas cant do the low microns details of non deltas

Where'd you hear that? This came off a delta:

Quality seems pretty good to me.

It is true that there is variable accuracy throughout the range of motion on a Delta.  Very fine details could be a problem on a delta but for a printer with a print volume of this size, I'm looking to create larger objects and not fine details on the sub 0.1mm level.

what about tiny prints like N scale cars etc? every 3D printer comparison site always rates Deltas between 100-300 microns max fine detail quality. thats why I didnt get one of the top brands when it was cheaper than Solidoodle. seemed Deltas are just good for larger prints needing more build platform area. but thats mostly in the vertical plane also. and several early models had weak arms and either could jam or wiggle at outsides of build area. I always thought they had a better use of design with less moving parts on separate planes (base is stationary). I would like to see pics of like one of the 1:200th scale Tanks by Bergman on thingaverse done on a Delta. same for scanners, show how acurate scanner can be on details down to .1mm so we can see what limits of use are. basic shapes can be measured and made in software. scanners should be able to do better faster to be worth investing in.

guess I need to find how to Mod my SD2 into a 6x6x6 Apprentice.

Microns of what? Accuracy? Resolution? Repeatbility? Layer height?

Here's a delta printing at 50 micron layer heights:

There is no reason deltas cannot meet or exceed the level of detail of a Cartesian printer. At the end of the day you're still squeezing plastic through a 250 micron hole, so you can't have features ("details") smaller than that.

very nice resolution there Elmor. I too always believed each printer can very depending on several factors. that video is very reassuring on Delta printers capabilities. are there any Deltas with duel extruders and part cooling fans? that's the main features I would like to have. I always thought Deltas where cool also in the way you can have filament spools on top feeding down so not to waste work area space since most of us have limited shop room anyway.

not interested in dif colors. just want wash away support material in 2nd extruder

One of the many awesome things I learned from the owner of my company: "You know you're going to be late to the meeting before you get there, let the client know when you know."

It seems to be appropriate here.

First post for me here, i am totally bummed out about this

Wondering if they will try and compensate by possibly giving the early adopters some extra filament?
