Delta Robot v2 now on Github, Thingiverse

I built one ages ago for the first Vancouver Maker Fair. At the time I had to get parts milled from aluminum because I didn’t have a 3D printer. Recently Bahram @ VHS asked me if I would sell this kit. Yes! Gladly! But until it’s ready I’m putting all the plans and code online so that you brave early adopters can get it for free.

Get the Delta Robot on Thinigiverse.

The neat thing about Delta robots is that the tip stays coplanar to the base even as it’s moving around. That makes it great for 3D printers like the Rostock or pick-and-place jobs on assembly lines.

I’ll be bringing this Delta robot to the next Vancouver Robotics Club meeting on February 10, 2013. See you there?
