My Kossel Mini - Delta Printer
Building my Delta printer.
After my internship in Karlsruhe, at Apium Additive Technologies GmbH, I was absolutely fascinated by the 3D printing industry. Working every day with the printers and my work-team was so entertaining that it made the whole experience feel like something natural.
​
I was so inspired by this new and powerful technology that I bought the parts to build a Kossel Mini, and printed the ones I could at Apium. I built it myself because I wanted to really understand completely how it works, and it was a great experience. I had the opportunity to build it in the R&D Laboratoy and test it, and after that I had to disassemble it so I could take it with me back to Venezuela.
I am always improving the parameters to get even better results. I have printed parts of all type of geometries, some with specific purposes. For example, key chains for my Internship presentation at my university, phone cases, a filament spool holder for the printer itself, or spare parts to repair furniture, sewing machines, among others.
I normally use SolidWorks for the CAD Modeling and Simplify3D for the slicing and G-code generation.
