BigDelta

A very large Delta 3D printer with very high precision and reliability that makes beautiful and accurate prints. Chat at irc://chat.freenode.net/bigdelta

BOM: https://goo.gl/YLESNC Mostly EU sourced BOM: https://goo.gl/JueIIJ

The Pudding: https://goo.gl/photos/vQzHpMG1wdQYkDLd6

Tools required: M5 tap, some oil for tapping. M5 and M3 allen wrenches. Wire cutters / strippers.

Recent: Added versions for 2040 Verticals and 4040 verticals. Horizontal extrusion should be at 2040 for either.

Tips: Instead of buying 1500mm x 2 for the horizontal extrusions you can buy 500mm x 6 to save some cutting.
