Just for giggles, I thought I would have a go at designing a delta robot<\/a>, I have no idea how stable it would be, or if it would be anywhere near accurate enough to use as a 3D printer, or even a pick and place machine.<\/p>\n

I was initially inspired by a couple of designs on Thingiverse<\/a>, the Yazoo Polybot<\/a>:<\/p>\n

the Yazoo Polybot – Cranberry Edition<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
So I came up with the following:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Which after some further tweaking and looking in detail at several commercial items it became the following:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Every time I see one of these, I can’t help thinking about Jeff Wayne’s “War of the Worlds” and the tripod like exo-skeletons used by the alien invaders from Mars:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Anyway, I have no idea if I will even build this, it does not look too expensive to build, EMC<\/a> supports Kinematic<\/a> coordinates, I intend to build a bunch of PMinMO<\/a> TB6560AHQ based Stepper drivers:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I already have all of the parts, and recently placed an order with ITead Studio<\/a> for some of these boards ($9.99 for 10 boards of less than 5cm x 5cm – Spring Festival discounted price), so the total cost of each board including all of the parts will be \u00a34.35, the cheapest equivalent one I can find on eBay<\/a> is \u00a312.01.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These drivers with a different set of power resistors (I have 0R22 currently, which will allow 2.27A, I have some 0R15 resistors on order which will allow 3.3A) will be used on my PCB CNC Machine<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A recent addition on Thingiverse<\/a> is the Rostock<\/a>:<\/div>\n
