My old faithful printer is starting to give out, and I'm replacing it with a delta. Of course I'm thinking of Bill Seiler as I put it together. It's only fair that I try a delta after he tried the graber.

Photo attached.

Happy holidays,

Elliot

That's enormous.  What's the print dimension?

Deltas have improved.  But my graber still prints the best.  How about a ultamaker clone?  Walters prints the best!  How is it back in the cold place.  
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas

340mm diameter, 500mm height print volume.  It's a "Tevo Delta Little Monster" -- I bought it after reading AK Eric's blog post: http://www.akeric.com/blog/?p=4325

The cold place is great! I went sledding with my eldest the other day at an excellent hill a block away from our home, and I have room for 3d printing stuff (other than the kitchen table)!

The delta is pretty neat, and I'll probably use it to print another Graber or something else. I am, of course, running into a problem with the delta that I need to figure out where the prints are leaning away from one tower.

I remember there being some sort of resource for diagnosing delta problems. What was that site, or is there a better one?

My leaning problems were caused by slipping belts.

And mine was caused by a loose belt pulley!  A bit of loctite and it hopefully won't happen again.  Thank you, Bill!
