TriMatical - yet another linear delta printer project, design goals where mainly scalability and use of mostly commercially available components. Aluminum framing is well covered industrially, one can choose between many flexible profile systems, exploiting mass produced quality, relative cheapness and global availability. Overall design is loosely based on previous nice examples of linear deltas, namely the Kossel variations, that are generally using less rigid and smaller extrusions. Structural frame is made from MiniTec profile (45x32mm, 45x45mm can be used), Power-Lock fasteners and custom prismatic 60degree angle centerpieces. Frame volume should scale to 2 cubic meters without any problems.

Design highlights

  • Linear delta printer
  • Minimal number of custom components
  • Relatively high stiffness
  • No plastic frame components
  • GT2 belt running on smooth side reducing belt interference
  • Scalable to 2 cubic meter volume
