Great idea. I have had the same idea with one of the Voron printers since it got moving top instead of moving bed. I would have added rollers on top to make the bed more flat and in the same position from the nozzle. Keep it up .

Hey buddy. Watching you do this from start to finish is awesome, You are bloody talented and im jealous.

Nice work! This is a really clever design, and you nailed the execution!

Thanks man 😁

Great idea. Well engineered and presented!

👍🏼Great idea Brian! I ask myself: how did I not guess? Everything ingenious is simple!

Great idea and successful build 👍👍

Very well done !

BRAVO! Nicely done!!

Cool. The name escapes me, but someone had made a printer similar to this a while back I saw in a blog post on hackaday. Basically, the bed becomes the Z, and one of the towers is removed. Two towers can do the X and Y all on their own. Less hardware, but more modification to the firmware. Thanks for sharing

Great work!

you need a purge line instead of a skirt so it will get sluffed off when it advances

Wow always enjoyed your video thanks for sharing DD.

If you add* a small bump out in the center of your rollers, like a really obtuse V shaped profile it will help your belt track the best. I think you might have done that but wanted to share just in case. This is how rollers on 60" package belts do it for like shipping companies* Source I'm a conveyor engineer.

Thanks for your insight! Yes keeping the belts aligned on the rollers was no easy task. I first designed flat rollers with 45 degree angles (easy to print) on both ends but the belt kept running over it. The rollers now are slightly thicker in the middle than at the ends, this works great to keep the belt aligned but the sides of the belt are a little looser than in the middle of the belt.

cool idea! also awesome outro music!

very nice.......going to have to do this for my QQ-S-Pro....lol

Great build. Did you have any problems with first layer not adhering well on the bed? Have you tried PETG? Also, in your site , there are no instructions for the arduinos and electronics programming. Do you have those for sale or something ? I want to make this but i need a step by step guide. thanks

Great idea - I have an older Rostock Max I was thinking of repurposing. This might be the way for me. 3 questions: 1) What are you using for auto leveling? How often does it need to be redone? 2) Does the belt "scraper" remove the skirts after the parts drop into the hopper? 3) I notice the printer starts the next skirt while the belt is still in motion, I assume you just need to add a bit of delay?

Hello, i use the autobed leveling switch and functionality of the Q5 printer, it normally should happen only once. The scraper does not remove skirts on my case but didn't find this to be an issue as the printer just prints on top of this. It might be an issue afterwards if you have to clean up some parts with the skirt attached. The timing of the printer and belt can all be adjusted in the code and slicer settings. It's not an issue if the belt moves while the printer starts moving because most of the time it isn't even extruding pla at the beginning, i was just happy it worked and to lazy to adjust timings 😜

is excellent and Where should I put the limit switch if my printer is a conventional 3-axis printer?

@BrianBrocken

It think you can put it next to the homing switch of the z-axis of your printer.

👏👏👏

very cool . How did you get your printer to start on its own when it finished the part?

@BrianBrocken

2 жыл бұрын

I just copied and pasted the gcode the amount of times i want the part to print and the belt moves every time the homing sequence of the printer triggers a switch.

How did you synchronize the base with the end of the print so that when the piece finishes rotating and starts making another one?

@BrianBrocken

Hello Nuno, The belt moves when the printer touches a limit switch placed on top of the printer. This happens during the homing sequence of the printer. Since I copied and pasted the G-code the amount of times I need the parts to print, the printer homes every time it starts a new print, so it touches the limit switch every time. The distance the belt moves is a fixed value, triggered by the limit switch. This value can be changed in the Arduino code to suit your needs better.

Fantasy！

Have you made and design files or software available for this? It's the first 3D printer I actually want..

Hello Sam, yes the STL and Fusion 360 source files for the conveyor belt are available on my website: bbprojects.technology/collections/stl-fusion-360-source-files/products/delta-belt-3d-printer The delta printer I used is a FLsun Q5: www.banggood.com/Flsun-Q5-3D-Printer-Kit-200+200mm-Print-Size-Supprt-Resume-Print-With-TFT-32Bit-Mainboard-or-TMC2208-Slient-Driver-or-Colorful-Touch-Screen-p-1591796.html?p=E01411629100201406T1&custlinkid=1312467&cur_warehouse=CN

Why is the printer pausing and buzzing momentarily at 6:30?

Its retracting it's filament before moving over "open air" to move to another part of the print to prevent stringing. More info can be found here: all3dp.com/2/3d-print-stringing-easy-ways-to-prevent-it/

Hello carlchanhm, the belt fabrication can be seen at 02:18. I used a 3mm rubber sheet, cut it to size and glued it together, I'll add the dimensions to the project article (will add the link to the description soon).
