It’s worth having a firm idea of what you plan to make with a delta printer beforehand, as opting for a small base size will invariably involve printing objects in parts, which can effectively cancel out the speed benefits a delta printer offers in the first place. Resolution It’s easy to assemble, prints almost all the standard FDM filaments, and has a power resume function that can save you stress if there’s a power outage. Measured in microns, resolution refers to the smallest layer height a delta 3D printer can print. Material Type

You won’t have as many of those cool upgrade videos on YouTube and new projects such as the super-sized 3D printers, but you’ll still be able to do the main functions that you need.Truth be told upfront, if you don’t intend to make tall, narrow models with a Delta printer and only seek to create other types of regular models, take into thought very closely the small build platform when buying this hunk of metal. Extruder: E3D Titan geared extruder, Bowden setup Optional "FlexPrint Edition 2" – TRILAB proprietary remote direct drive extruder for demanding and flex filaments It features quality parts throughout, something I’ve come to expect from all Flsun printers. It’s geared to run well at speeds up to 200 mm/s, though I recommend printing at 150 mm/s for the sweet spot between quality and print time. Once you’ve built the printer, you just need to let the printer level itself, which takes around 5 minutes. Then, fix the Z axis and feed the filament in to the top of the printer, and you’re ready to go. FLSUN QQ-S: 3D Printing

NEMA-17 motor with an integrated Planetary gearbox with a 5 2/11:1 ratio.( http://robot-italy.com, Builda3dprinter.eu for EU ( http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=3317 in US). We also tried printing a small vase with some interesting geometric shapes, also shown below. The FLSUN QQ-S again passed every test, creating a beautiful vase model with crisp features and no errors. Delta printers support the extruder with three spidery, tentacle-like arms attached in a triangle shape. Each arm can only move up and down vertically but by moving each arm independently the extruder is able to move hypnotically in all directions.This is also linked to the speed, where the higher weight limits the amount of fast movements you can commit to without reducing print quality. After a high enough speed, you will start to notice ringing in your 3D prints.

The build platform is circular and you can probably print a tower inside, but the size is limited and this is something vastly important to consider. Many 3D printers are equipped with a Bowden extruder because it ensures high printing speeds and, in contrast to a direct drive extruder, applies less weight to the moving hot end. But Flsun has created something unique with the V400: the hotend and the extruder have been combined, resulting in a particularly compact and lightweight system. They probably succeed in bringing one of the lightest and at the same time fastest direct-drive extruders onto the market! It also features a high-strength lattice coated print bed heavily inspired by Anycubic’s much-loved Ultrabase, which does wonders to offer firm adhesion for prints and stable temperatures alongside effortless removal of completed prints.

Learning from our mistakes, we then tried an Oddish 3D printer model, but changed the supports to come from the build plate up only, rather than to completely encompass the model. The results were far less invasive supports that could be removed more easily and left less clear signs that they were ever there. FLSUN QQ-S Review: Advantages and Disadvantages Pros The Print-Rite CoLiDo Delta D1315 Plus arrives pre-assembled with minimal setup required to begin printing. The instruction guide is among the better quality ones we’ve come across at this price point, with simple well-guided steps complemented with full-color images. Print-Rite’s Repetier-based slicer works well enough with plenty of advanced settings to tinker with.
