Six weeks, sorry. I was a little overzealous!

@jannisj:

where did you get that hotend mount for the anycubic effector?

-Jannis

I got it custom milled for me, sketched it up in CAD. I used the holes in the effector plate with stainless standoffs and had it machined to fit the hot end nicely.

Do you guys have any ETA on this? I'm really excited about it, looks perfect for what I need.

I'm fine with no piezos. And let me know if you need any prototypes on this side of the pond- there's a few PCB houses in california that have done PCB prototypes for me for very cheap.

You can count on me to order a set, that looks fantastic! (I have nearly the same hardware down to the 360mm arms)

Being able to mount things to it with standard holes is a huge plus. Like fan brackets and the differential IR sensor

@Dougal1957:

Looks to me like the Drylin N series only has 2 holes spaced at 28mm apart on the centre line.

Drylin T look interesting but they are huge

Running NW-02-27-P, two 20mm single holes in line. Having a friend machine an adapter to 20mm x 4 M3 so I can use any standard robotdigg/long carriages. Ends up being about the same height as a standard MGN-12. Maybe a little shorter. http://www.igus.com/wpck/3592/drylin_n_NK_02_27

I have samples, I really like them.

I'm on 24V and everything is near silent other than the e3d v6 fan- I don't use a fan for PETG. Also my electronics stay very cool as it's typically cold as f**k in my office.

Other trick with 12v fans on 24v is just set the maximum PWM frequency to 50% and you've got right around 12v. That or wire them in series.

In for updates. I have RDG carriages with Haydn's magball arms on the way.

I'm upgrading to IGUS drylin N rails and preloaded slides- will let you know how I fair.

I'm on a volcano and PETG as well. What nozzle? I did pressure advance @ 0.1, seems to help a little, but S3d is being painful on it.
(1.2mm nozzle was comically bad- 0.8 works great)

My prints tend to just "thump" over it as well. I'll check some individual settings if you want.

Thanks DC42. Perfect explanation.

I'm experimenting with some pressure issues here too. Stumbled on this thread, with adding M572 D0 S0.2 (I have an unusually long bowden tube) things seem much better- still tinkering. What are we actually changing with pressure advance?

Finally put my heated bed on. Difference is huge. I have my printer in my office at work- it's EXTREMELY cold here. And my PLA tends to warp because of it- heated bed on now, tuned and running makes a massive difference. Bed adhesion is so much better. Still printing PLA with a 1mm nozzle volcano at around 50 mm/s. Quite pleased. Will post pics soon.

It's finally almost exactly how I want it. So naturally I ordered more extrusions to make a bigger delta Can't stop progress right?

Pretty slick setup. Waiting for user opinions too

I'm going to transfer my parts to a bigger and more rigid kossel. This thing moves WAY too smoothly and awesomely. You guys are right.

Thanks for that DjDemonD, your printer looks really nice. I have a 2020 delta right now, it's quite good, but only around 200mm build diameter. I was considering something like an FT5 or CoreXY because of the light gantry and square build platform, but I do love how easy my delta moves (I need to do a flying extruder, my bowden is almost perfect. But not quite.

The curiosity with corexy being that i can make the frame very rigid and just have something like an e3d titan on a simple rail or pair of them and have similar advantage to the delta. Though the delta is so good looking and the movements are so smooooth. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, right?

@T3P3Tony:

Maybe dvmourik can give some tips!

Beautiful!!!!

I love my delta, but my concern is not being able to square the axes adequately, where something cartesian or corexy seems far more straightforward to get the physical alignment dead on, and rely less on software (not that your software doesn't work beautifully dc42). I'm just unsure which way to go. But a 400mm delta is pretty tempting!

Hey guys,
Wanted to know how big you've gone with deltas and cartesians. Currently I have a ~ 200mm diameter build area and sometimes I need to go a little bigger. Any suggestions on cartesian vs delta vs whatever else at that size? I tend to do a volcano with 1mm nozzle, love how smooth and nice my delta is, but I need more space. Thinking I might want to step up to 2040 extrusion, bigger rails, and nema 23s. Any thoughts on delta vs cartesian vs corexy at that point? The general irritation right now is bowden is somewhat inconsistent with blobs, though I'm getting it under control.

I was thinking of doing a printer like the prusa just very tall, something FT5 like, or a BIG delta (at least 400mm diameter). Just wondering if 2040 is adequate with billet vertex blocks, dc42 I think you used them in a build. I just feel slightly more comfortable that the cartesian printers as squares are generally easier to measure.

Figure I have the volcano already- I can throw an e3dlite and go back to the ramps board on my anycubic. Duet wifi deserves better hardware

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks,
Josh

Added pics to the my setup section. Prints are working great, but I need some more build tak. Had some collisions due to some mechanical issues. OOPS.

Dude that thing looks amazing! Great job! Cabling is super on point and the whole thing looks very finished.
How do you like the CoreXY movement/kinematics? I'm considering enlarging my delta or doing a cartesian (potentially XY) it's why I ask.

I got them linking but they're a bit skewed =(

Heavily modified Anycubic Delta Plus Linear. Has Igus polymer rails, E3d Volcano hot end (currently with 0.6mm nozzle), fresh steppers, duet wifi, astrosyn dampers, 24 volt, a few others things I probably missed. Getting retraction set up and cleaning up the setup, it's VERY quiet and almost there with regards to print quality (way better than with the old stuff on it already)

Big thank you to Tim @ Filastruder for providing great service! I love this thing!

Forgive the mess, figured a rigid.ink starter pack would be nice to hone the settings. I'll cable wrap when I get the part cooling setup situated.
