Background

Inspired by the [Metal Delta RepRap v1] to propose a very affordable metal 3d printer but it is based on a cheap low power inverter MMA welding power source performing TIG (GTAW) process. This choose of process is more difficult to set-up but allows to have a much better resolution.

General Design

The printer is based on the Enlarged Rostock [1]
