ZeGo Delta Printer - First Print with J-Head Bowden Extruder



First Print! Although I never received the 3D Print head attachment from the zegorobotics.com website (post their Indiegogo campaign) I have been working on developing my own 3D Printer attachment. Here are my first real results.

The very first results were so poor it was clear there were leveling issues and I was not yet finished with calibration. This was the first time the print head moved level with the platform.

Regarding the MK8 J-head Hotend Bowden Extruder. It was a struggle to get this extruder working and it still "clicks" as it tries to push PLA filament through. I have much to learn with Bowden extruders as my only experience thus far has been with direct drive.
