Project Goals

The vision for the Delta-Forge was to:

  • Rigid all-metal frame and a linear rail motion system to achieve high-speed & keeping high quality prints.nts.
  • A small form factor that doesn't sacrifice build volume unnecessarily. Ideal for a desk or a small workshop.
  • Draw inspiration from sleek sci-fi designs, moving away from a purely utilitarian look. I want to make it something I proud to display!
  • Use commonly available parts and components

Why I designed this 3D printer:

Well in simple words I am addicted to 3D printers design & since I don't own oen I want to get my hands on every type of 3D printer that is out there!ere!

Key Features!!

  • Fully aluminum extrusion!
  • MGN9C linear rail motion system for precision
  • Compact 120mm heated
  • BTT Manta E3EZ + CB1
