Deltaprintr Replacement Carriages

thingiverse

The short: Replaces Deltaprintr stock carriages with stronger and cheaper to replace plates... The long: So if you own a Deltaprintr printer from Deltaprintr... They don't sell them anymore btw... You'll know that if you have serviced the printer that the carriages which are the orange little plates that hold the arms are highly fragile. The cutouts where the arms screw in are very thin and are only as large as the arm connector themselves making them highly breakable should the effector get caught and strain the printer temporarily. They don't offer just the little plates and at $34 plus shipping it's quite expensive and unreasonable to buy more than $30 in parts for the one little plate to replace the fragile plate with ANOTHER FRAGILE PLATE.... So instead I spent dome time mocking up the carriage plates and as long as you still have the 5 screws, 3 nuts, 6 spacers and 3 wheel bearings you should be fine. Simply print these, screw them in and slide them on. The improvement is that they do not break easily and can easily be reprinted if needed... 'carriage 1' is the back plate w/o the arm holes and 'carriage 2' is. I am still testing them to make sure they work because I'm refurbing my Deltaprintr into the DeltaBadass with jet black painted wood, cool lights and a real E3D hotend (not the fake ones) BTW: DId you know the E3D (with a little sanding) fits perfectly into the provided effector?! (plate where all the arms) It a little bit of a tight fit, but works REALLY well...
