I designed a MICRO Delta 3D printer - Introducing the delta I call MIN

[@grantdeisig1360]

I like it. I've always wanted to build a small desktop printer, and always wanted to try a delta style printer. So this checks two boxes.

[@papplemyapple]

Super cool, love that its roughly half the height of a spool.

[@eraldylli]

Man, you are impressive. So many new models, and very consistent work and releases. It's inspiring. Well done.

[@TurboSunShine]

So cool! So cute! Love it :) keep up the good work :)

[@AndrasBuzas1908]

You're crazy! I love it, I've always wanted a delta but I honestly don't want something too big. Looks fun!

[@stay_in_adventure]

I think this might be cheapest & simplest 3d printer ever designed for building DIY. Great work!

[@trashpanda9433]

Great implementation, especially for testing devices that do other things like a delta robot, or electrochemical metal deposition

[@arathireddy7559]

Nice tiny delta printer planing to build one with dual extrusion and print dentures for patients and also make one out of metal parts instead of plastic

[@KennethScharf]

For what I have in mind, the build area is fine except for the height. I'd need 6" in the Z direction, but the limited XY dimensions of this are fine. Printing chess men with a king height of 4.5 to 5.5".

[@davydatwood3158]

I have this dream/plan to build a WEG droid with a delta printer in it, and this might be just the place to start. Definitely going ot keep an eye on it!

[@oliverfong418]

I could totally imagine throwing a 0.2 nozzle on it and using it solely for miniatures!!!

[@Rolohaun]

yes for sure!

[@The_AB123]

I might build this, sounds like a fun project to do. Keep up the great work

[@theshrimpfather13]

Super excited to build this...

[@KittyFae-]

Oh wow, this is pretty cool, right up my alley too since I already have 2 Monoprice Mini Deltas. Too bad they aren't being made anymore, they are pretty zippy with that Pico board we are using! Though, building one from the ground up sounds pretty awesome, thanks for the project!

[@powersv2]

This looks great for field printing tpu parts for drones. Time to put the voron bowden backpack on that.

[@dromeosaur1031]

A really nice printer! It's quite cute.

[@RogueStatusFishing]

stoked its finally here man ! great work

[@GeekDetour]

A close up of your Printed Benchy would be so cool.

[@Rolohaun]

I will do more videos of it printing

[@MakeKasprzak]

I can't help but imagine the XY build volume could be increased while keeping the footprint by changing the position of the ball joints (between the belt and rods, outside the rods, or far outside the rods), but I've never built a delta so theres probably some clearance issue I'm missing.

[@Rolohaun]

the arms would probably not have enough rotation room

[@moccaloto]

Totally awesome. Well done, sir

[@LeonMatthews]

Such a cute little printer! I already ordered the parts to build its larger sibling, the Delta Flyer, based on the BOM for this one, but now I'm sorely tempted to build this little guy as well! I must resist... Maybe I should go and upgrade my Rook 2020 MK1 instead.

[@Gulsifer]

Love it have to add it to the list Rolo

[@imre4481]

Looks fantastic!

[@LigerZERO-]

That’s an awesome printer. It looks like the Benchy takes up the full build volume.

[@bridgetclinch3678]

Would be keen for a slightly bigger little delta, next build has to be a big enclosed corexy though. A little delta next to my voron 0.1 would be cool though, love watching the kinematics.

[@Rolohaun]

yes 120 x120 version is next

[@dinissantiago6729]

It's so cute! I kinda want to make one

[@chrismckay3868]

AWESOME! I love this at this size :)

[@mmusiciankinda]

Love the project! Would you make a mount for a M4 extruder?

[@Rolohaun]

I actually might, I need to order some parts

[@andy_warb]

this is sick.

[@Ne0kil]

looks awesome! is there any specific reason why you decided to put the electronic-boards on top instead of adding them to the bottom? Having them in the bottom would move the center of mass down and could make it more stable which could be beneficial I guess 🤔

[@Rolohaun]

there is no weight in the mainboard, all the nema 17 are at the bottom and there is plenty of weight down low. Also people might add a heated bed and you do not want electronics in the base

[@RobHasIdeas]

I kinda want to make a version of the Rook that's printable on this, now.

[@DatMammut76]

Omg I’m in love.

[@darren990]

Thanks

[@dirkeveraert4119]

Hello, I would love to build the Delta Min, but how do I get the software on the board, and what files do I need, sorry, I'm an absolute beginner and would be happy to receive instructions... or plus the files for this . I can't find any instructions about this on printables... thank you very much

[@Rolohaun]

please join my discord there are a lot of people building MIN. I also have videos on my channel how to install Klipper

[@alexanderscholz8855]

Sweeeeet little Delta!!!!

[@LogicMathh]

Looks nice🎉

[@tremrej65]

Well. I think I'm gonna build one.

[@0Gotland4Ever0]

DeltaForce!

[@FelinGreenleaf]

Could I get the outer dimensions please? I want to build one of these guys but need to know if it'll fit in the space I've chosen for it

[@Rolohaun]

about 280mm tall and 180mm wide

[@apakkapa]

how do you calibrate the delta? any probe or manual input?

[@Rolohaun]

you can you a probe or manual paper method, klipper does the rest

[@apakkapa]

@@Rolohaun All my deltas so far went ahead with the smarteffector, buy I am kind of in love with yours and think I have all the bom but the electronics. I will probably build one

[@benjien2007]

What is the name of that white printer in the background?

[@Rolohaun]

Rook Evolution

[@nicholasbackus492]

if it had a 0.2mm nozzle its probably be nice for miniatures

[@jasongooden917]

If the other one is the Rook, does that make this one the Bishop?

[@Rolohaun]

Gusifer on my discord already designed a printer called bishop

[@TheCumulusClimber]

more adorable than a kitten and it wont grow up to be a cat!

[@elbuglione]

This is good. There is a chance to see the same printer, but taller?

[@Rolohaun]

users on my discord are building a few taller ones

[@ameliabuns4058]

Awww, smol

[@shaunsabo4240]

How does the bed work? It looks like it’s 3d printed with capton tape?

[@Rolohaun]

yes

[@spencersworkshop4360]

How close are you to finishing the bastion?

[@Rolohaun]

bastion has been done for a while

[@davidgarciadeblasiglesias8169]

Great job! Any recommendations about material used to print and % of infill? thanks

Nvm you just updated it today lol

I will have a video out this week on progress

[@daniellehooker9445]

Do a magball version!

[@Rolohaun]

magballs are too heavy and expensive for this version, maybe on a 200mm one

[@noktrnl123]

This is cool. But where's it in action? 👍

[@Rolohaun]

it's printing at 1:16 but I will show in printing more soon

[@Reds3DPrinting]

This is epic!!

[@drubradley8821]

Awwwww, that is so dinky... I need one of those now, lol.. I don't know why, I just know I do.. powered by a 8 amp hour weed eater lithium battery, would be clever.. also, I don't know why I "NEED" a printer to be compact, portable, stand-alone powered, but, I know I need it... 😂

[@jonathanserrano655]

Question to anyone able to help me. I have a few spare(not so amazing) parts, and want to make a cheap version of this for my little brother to see how much he would actually use a 3d printer. Any tips on doing a budget version? Smaller motors? I have spare ender boards, most likely would do marlin and avoid klipper too. Any and all help would be very appreciated. Thabk you in advance!

[@Rolohaun]

very hard to make this much cheap, I do not recommend Marlin for delta 3d printers

[@jonathanserrano655]

Ahh, 😂that is good to know. Thank you!

[@maks-i3b]

@@jonathanserrano655 As i know marlin can be used on deltas. For example: BIQU magician uses marlin. But I don't know how hard will it be to configure marlin this way.

[@maks-i3b]

And BIQU magician is printing fast and well. I use it for some figures.

[@maks-i3b]

Try searching about configuration on marlin website. I think it's possible to find some information there.

[@SlinkySlonkyWaffle]

honestly, why not make it direct extrusion and put the spool ontop?

[@Rolohaun]

There is no room on this size, maybe the 120mm version

[@SlinkySlonkyWaffle]

@@Rolohaun maybe one of the smaller direct extruders?

[@pokeprime]

@@Rolohaun I don't think you'll have any room for a direct drive even on your planned 120mm version. Your best compromise would have to be some flexible shaft based extruder.

[@Rolohaun]

@@pokeprime ya space is a premium, I am ok with bowden for this size though

[@murraymadness4674]

It's cool n all , but a delta is a poor choice for a small printer. It uses a lot of space to get its angles. However, it could be a really fast printer being so small, which is what I was thinking of doing, build one super light and go super fast. Does not seem that was a goal here, and it uses a lot of parts.

[@Rolohaun]

I think it turned out great, not many parts you can remove from this. Every printer has pros and cons and there is a million ways to design them, that what makes it so fun.
