SpatialOne was a self-designed open-source delta 3D printer project developed in 2013 as a mechanical design exercise and practical learning project.
SpatialOne is a fused filament fabrication 3D Delta printer designed for robustness and accuracy of the moving parts. A kit with manufactured sheetmetal and machined parts, powered by a smoothie board with industrial bearings.
One of its unique feature is to have an interchangeable end effector, currently with a single hot end, further developments such as dual extruder, chocolate printer, Laser etching, flexible filament printing and ceramic printer. 12 way plug and socket for easy swap between different end effectors.
Media: PLA, ABS, Nylon, any filament material with extrusion temperature up to 300 degrees C except flexible filament (new extruder and hot end platform to print such materials coming soon)
Build Volume: 270mm diameter x 290mm height (diameter and height varies depending on single or dual hot ends or different platform designs)
Layer Resolution: 0.1mm to user preference (depends on bed levelness and nozzle diameter)
Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
Extrusion Speed:Travel speeds of 500mm/s and print speeds up to 300mm/s.
Materials: Anodised aluminium, 304 stainless steel, PLA printed parts
Construction: Robust metal construction, CNC laser cut sheetmetal parts and CNC machined parts with some printed parts. E3d Online v6 hot end, all metal extruder with stepper and gearbox.
Moving Parts: Preloaded ball raced vertical slides to eliminate any adjustment required and play. Igus rod ends and Misumi industrial bearings.
