Thingybot Delta 3D Printer - Now Funding on Kickstarter (Aga

[orangefurball]

Hello all!

After a short break to get some things in order and create a campaign video, I am back with the Thingybot once again!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... -printer-0

Most of the information is on the Kickstarter page, but if anyone is wants to know anything more about the Thingybot feel free to ask away!

Ships only to the US

Any chance of a flat-pack kit version that ships to the rest of the world?

There's a serous whine in the video - I suspect it's the E3D fan, but it's a distraction and very annoying (look at the recommendation to pry off the sticker and use a little silicone. There's too many filler words (something, everything, really) in the discussion, makes it look more amateurish.

Still wish it was a bigger print volume, and ran a faster speeds. Our high school's locally build plywood deltas print at 100mm/sec, and the latest version uses BBBs.

Of course I then shoot myself in the hoof by supporting it. Darn, only #3 this time. I will not be getting the pink version, clashes with my hide. Where's the dual extruder option, will you be releasing it later? I'll have a couple PB beta gearhead extruders once I put the Wades back on the KSCP, maybe a Kraken mount?

I totally forgot about your comment on the printing speed, Moose. The 80mm/s cap was sort of a safe number. I had printed at 100mm/s with no issues but didn't want to over-promise so I chose to keep it at a conservative 80. Basically you can definitely go higher than 80mm/s!

Just updated the post to include shipping to Canada. More countries will be added as I price them out.

Any chance you could offer more explanation on the use of magnets to reduce backlash? It's not immediately obvious to me how that works.

Just thought I would make a quick post that Thingybot is now funded! There are still 20 days left in the campaign, but it has already reached the goal.

Stretch goal announcements will happen soon! Thank you for the support everyone!

[Mooselake]

Congratulations, Matt! Looks like all of the non-Pluses went at once.

While a BBB or smoothieboard might be an interesting stretch goal, how about more LEDs along with a . Old moose eyes need more light than you youngsters.

Looks like you really made it! I've got a mini-spool of Moose Brown filament just waiting to go in a well lit up TB

edit: just got the questionnaire. Too many choices, who would order anything but orange from an orange furball? Maybe solid and translucent orange and leave it at that?

Is Goliath working non-stop printing out those orange Thingybot parts? Customization takes time (orange, of course, is the standard), so all those non-standard colors can wait

Eagerly waiting

You should dig up a test program and run a burn-in test on those Megas and RAMPS boards while you're waiting for all the parts to roll in, weed out the infant mortaiity failures early.
