Aluminum heat spreader built plate sourcing.

[Randy Smyth]

I'm in the process of building a new Delta printer, based off of David Crocker's design, https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/dc42s-large-kossel-build/

Only parts I have not sourced yet are the 330mm dia. x 6mm Aluminum plate for the base of the build platform, and the 2.5mm  aluminum plate just for mounting the electronics and power.

The thin plate i can make do without for now, but the 6mm and really flat build plate I've been unable to find. Any one have any suggestions ?

Hi Randy,

Have you tried looking at some of the metal stock suppliers? 6mm aluminum plate sounds more like something that they'd stock. Or you could go the route that I did and order one of Ultibots 300mm print bed stacks, that's what I ended up using on my big delta build.

Hope that helps a bit,

Edward

That's a good idea, and i did look at since buying an Ultibots originally before setting on the David Crocker design. Unfortunately they are out of the 400mm, and 300mm is smaller than I wish for mounting. Although I can still go that route if I cannot find a 330mm version.

I bought my plate at:

It was quite expensive for them to cut it round though so I cut it myself into a hex shape using a bandsaw.
