Kiwi remix
The Kiwi Remix is a Delta printer with a wooden frame, which can be cut on a CNC machine or Laser cutter.
Features include:
- Uses 3mm threaded rod cut to size for the platform bolts, carriage bots and connector rods.
- 8mm smooth rod and LM8UU bearings, 3 per carriage for added stability.
- Z min probe for auto bed leveling
- Z min probe is activated by a servo mounted on the frame
- LCD control panel
- Tidy and compact
- Small foot print
- Heated bed to enable both ABS and PLA
- 170 x 170 x 170 (mm) print volume
- 3mm filament
- Handy reel holder
Why design another Delta printer, in my part of the world where there is no heavy industry, in fact industry is farming, getting even the simplest nuts and bolts common in other regions can be problematic, so the design is based around very basic commonly available nuts and bolts. The retainers for the Carriage, platform and the connecting rods are cut to length M3 threaded rod (if I could have got a piece of high tensile 2.5mm fencing wire straight enough I would have used that for the connecting rods. I do use cut up gumboot for the rubber stoppers on the base though). Also the Greg wades extruder has been updated to take 4mm bolts instead of 3mm (I couldn't get 3mm long enough).
