Not sure about that particular model quality, but it looks like a common 3D printer. It has nothing that you can't adjust or repair, so it should be OK. Ballscrews are not really nesessary there. It has belts for XY, and 8mm leadscrew for Z. The platform is usually wonky in these type of printers. I've built two deltas, one of which is pretty large (450x750mm workspace) and enclosed. The smaller works with a simple Mega+RAMPS, the larger has Duet WiFi controller - the best at the moment (and BTW made in UK). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
