Help me with FW e SW Delta printer
February 28, 2016 09:15AM
Hello everyone

I'm doing a Delta Robot, like the one in the picture (link), for use as a 3D printer.

The robot is driven by brushless motors 3 Nema 23 with its driver. This driver has the direction inputs, Step, etc. and it can optionally be controlled by USB. (The driver of the seller said that can be controlled by macro

My problem with the project is: I can not find a control board and a software for controlling the robot;
does anyone know how I can make it work?

Thank you!!

This would be a very difficult machine for which to write code to control. If you want the machine to work correctly and reliably, the developers of the code would need a machine to code against.

My opinion is your best bet is to actually build several of these machines and see if you can get them into the hands of a motivated developer. I can tell you right now this isn't a 3 or 4 line tweak in the existing code bases.

See this thread and the links it provides

Short answer though is that although it can be done, it imposes a lot of limits on build volume.
