Deltaprintr: a quick, tall 3D printer for under $700 (video)


The trio behind the Deltaprintr Launched their project with a noble enough goal : creating a 3D printer that was cheap enough so as to actually be affordable for college students like Themselves . The result comes in $ 685 , preassembled . Not too shabby , so far as These Things go . And with the project is currently about halfway through its Kickstarter campaign , the online 3D printing community Cleary has taken a bit of a shine to what the team is Attempting to do - in fact , it took roughly a week for them to top $ 100,000 out of a $ 195,000 goal . They have not been Able to maintain that clip , but with around $ 130,000 and 15 days left , Things are looking pretty solid for the Brooklyn - based crew .

So , aside from price, what makes this thing different ? For starters , there 's an easy calibration process for the print heads - the which , as anyone who's spent any time with a consumer device can tell you , is not always the case . In fact , you can set the machine to auto - calibrate . The printer 's also Quicker than many of the units we've seen and is capable of some high-resolution prints , with the default set at 100 microns ( you can get even higher res , but that'll take longer , naturally ) . The platform is also reasonably modular . Thanks to the fact that the peripheral uses fishing line instead of belts , you can actually double the height for around $ 15 in additional parts , if you do not mind tinkering . And the printer works with PLA plastic , so there's no need for a heated bed ( though , if you're doing a quick print , you might want to stick some tape down for traction ) .



Having sold out of the more inexpensive kits, the base price for an unassembled version on Kickstarter is currently $ 500. You can find that link below. The above, it should be Noted, is still a prototype, so you can expect, you know, fewer exposed wires in the finals.
