DeltaPrintr Extruder Relocation + Stiffening Brackets

thingiverse

Was very unhappy with the stock extruder setup (too much weight overhanging one corner) and sick of tower wobble ruining the finish of my prints. Used the factory sketches to design new brackets which locate the extruder underneath the top plate, but above the effector plate. This also eliminates about 100mm from the bowden tube, reducing friction and the chance of the extruder skipping. It also has COMPLETELY eliminated any tower wobble I've had running prints up to 30mm/s, and movement speeds of 150mm/s. I created a filament guide/cleaner that fits into the top plate, you will need to use an external filament spool. Both .dxf and .stl files are included for the 6 main brackets - I would HIGHLY recommend you have these made from laser cut 6mm ply (use hobby ply, or laser ply - not marine ply) however you could print if you have no other options. You will need: top bracket x4extruder bracket x1extruder bracket x1filament guide/cleaner x1 (printed - flip upside down)middle bracket x1 (printed - lay flat)spacer x3 (optional) Screws needed are M3x30 x3 (or 6 if you use the spacers). Everything else uses the factory setup. Print Settings Printer: Deltaprintr Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .15 Infill: 20 Notes: Stuff the filament cleaner with cotton pads or sponge, depending on what you prefer. A light squirt of machine oil makes the whole thing run much smoother. You will be able to cut approximately 100mm from the bowden tube.
