    Gecko drive Delta ceramic printer

    Hi!

    I would like to build a printer like this one:
    Delta Ceramic 3D Printer - YouTube
    The parts I already own are Gecko drive - G540 4-Axis Digital Step Drive:
    and Nema-23 motors (guess I will need only three), power supply.. Other stuff
    like linear grids, bellts and pulleys etc are allredy ordered and will probably arrive soon..
    The problem is, I don't know what software is appropriate for generating the G-code and driving the printer
    in my case. I'm just a digital artist
    Can anybody help me?

    Thank you for any answer!

    Best regards!

    Aleksander

    Sorry, I like the idea of building one of these, and I applaud anybody who does. But, shouldn't that have been a consideration before you started to acquire the parts? I hope somebody is able to point you in the right direction.

    I like it. Never had any practical ideas for a 3d printer because I can machine much higher quality parts. I never thought of printing ceramics. That is awesome. Finally a diy 3d printer I can get on board with. Oh and I noticed your first post was from 2013 so you had plenty of time to figure out what to do with your parts. 😉 Great job.
