    This document describes the design and development of a ceramic delta 3D printer. The key aspects are: 1) The printer uses a delta configuration for its faster printing speed and ability to print taller objects compared to Cartesian printers. It prints with ceramic clay which is cheaper than materials like PLA but can be hardened by heating. 2) The design process involved gathering knowledge, schematic design, selecting materials like MDF, acrylic and PLA based on dimensions, and 3D modeling. 3) The printer faces difficulties with material availability, cutting accuracy, tool leakage, and MDF cracking, but future phases aim to use stronger materials like carbon fiber and automatic clay feeding.

    Final Project: Ostalab Program Fablab Egypt


    Ahmed ElEraky

    Idea
    My idea was established up on building Delta 3D Printer
    that print using ceramic clay.
    Why Delta?
    Faster than Cartesian & other configurations
    Higher parts.

    Why Ceramic?
    Ceramic clay is a cheap material with respect to PLA & APS.
    Ceramic has a good appearance & you can make it harder by
    heating.
    Color ceramic clay with a few drops of gouache colors or any proper
    colors.

    Idea Inspiration
    Ceramic delta 3d printer project idea inspired from
    watching those amazing photos from Olivier van Herpt
    Project.

    D esign
    Design process was divided to phases:
    Gathering Knowledge.
    Creating design main lines.
    Schematic design.
    Gathering available materials to determine dimensions.
    3D Modeling.
    Design final editing.
    Working drawings.

    M anufacturing
    Materials:
    MDF.
    Acrylic (3 mm Sheet & 8 mm Axis).
    Wood sheet 3 mm.
    Stainless Steel 304, 8 mm D, 4200 mm L.
    PLA.

    Machines:
    CNC Router.
    MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer.
    MORN laser cutter.
    Miter Saw.

    ControlSystem
    3* Stepper motors Jameco 238538.
    6* Limit Switches for detecting rail ends.
    RAMPS V1.4 for system deriving.
    Arduino Mega 2560.
    LCD.
    ATX Power Supply for feeding electricity.

    Softw are
    I use Johann Rocholls modifiedMarlin firmware.
    To create and edit 3D files I use Autodesk Inventor, an
    open source 3D modeling program calledBlender.
    To slice up the .stl file to gcode ready for the SD card
    that carries the information to the printer I useRepetier
    Host.
    For trying I used Sprinter-master frimware & Pronterface
    as a UI.
