Delta Go - Desktop 3D Printer Review 450 Delta 3D Printer
video description
IMO the only significant benefit to a delta is that they're kind of amazing to watch. But once you get beyond that they don't (again IMO) have much benefit.
Also 450 is too much money for such a small printer with no heated bed.
I have owned/built about a dozen printers at this point, some mostly from scratch. My workhorse right now though is back to a good old i3 design, the JGAurora metal frame unit. They've solved all the issues with messy appearance, stability, etc. It just works, day after day. The only thing I've done is to throw on a glass print bed. At 300 it's a no brainer.

It does not matter if this is or is not a paid review, all that matters is if its accurate and informative.
Myself I would really love a 3D Printer as I am always working with radio control cars and breaking and making new things
and it would be awesome to be able to create my designs on computer and print them out.
But this video has confirmed my thoughts that 3D printing is not quite plug and play yet to the extent anyone can buy
one plug it in and its prints faultlessly so I'm holding out for a few more years.
Thanks GS for making the informative video and thanks to Deltaprintr for providing the test printer

for clogging problem, you may need to lower your retraction settings, especially for all metal hotends
for benchy overhangs, add a part cooling fan will help
for bed adhersion, buildtak-like print bed is nice for printers without heated bed
to print flexible filament, try the flying extruder mod, which shorten the bowden tube to reduce fiction when pushing the filament into hotend

I had a similar problem with my machine, extruder was skipping from time to time, your prints looks to fail in the same place, maybe the problem is the same also.
Mine was: Driver overheating.
This explains why it fails around same place, it overheats then enters in thermal protection mode, generally soon as it cools it works back, if heats again it will stop again of course.

the weird flickering is because the LED's are being run from 12v from the board instead of directly from the power supply. the board's 12v rail is running the steppers and that's what's causing the flicker. i've added 12v rgb led's to my printer(also a delta type) and that happened until i connected directly to the 12v lugs from the main 2. 1mm jack.

Hello Greatscott! I have seen both of your delta 3d printer review. Now i'm little bit confused which one should i buy, the 3KU Updated Full Metal Delta 3D(US 359. 00 - 409. 00) or the Delta go 3dPrinter(349. 00. I like the Delta go model because it is cheaper and compact model. But it has extruder problem. Any suggestion?

Based on the three failed prints and the stepper motor skipper, it seems like the fails happen around the same time frame. My guess is that the stepper driver overheats after said time frame. I doubt it has something to do with clogged hotend.

The failed print issue is heat creep from the hot end to the cold end. I have have had the same thing. Remove the heat break and add thermal paste to the cold end side to improve the heatsinks ability to remove the heat.

No heated bed, no deal. I have one of these printers. it was fun for a while, now I have a decent one. This is NOT worth the money. Even with the 100 bucks coupon.
