Background
Inspired by the Metal Delta RepRap v1 to propose a very affordable metal 3d printer but it is based TIG (GTAW) process which has the potential to be more precise and it allows to use a cheap low power inverter MMA welding power source.
It has been developed in two month thanks to the support of the Artilect FabLab in toulouse
It is not yet operational but it is able to deposit metal on a steel plate.
General Design
The printer is based on the Enlarged Rostock [1] which was based on the Rostock from Johann
