Hi everyone. Ok so at Christmas my other half (cheers Christina ) got me a Sumpod Delta (the new metal frame version). So far it looks like all the parts are there and is good quality (although I have never built a 3D printer before so should be interesting!). Only problem is the build instructions/manual are missing. Have e-mailed Richard and he said he will send some over (despise what I've red on here he seems like a nice chap and replied to my e-mail straight away over xmas). Anyway I thought I would see how far I can get putting it together whilst waiting for the instructions and post my developments on here to help others if needed. So here is the picture from the SumPod site : I cant find any fully constructed pictures anywhere so if you have one, please post it on here. Thought I'd start with the hot end. Here are the parts. Until I get the instructions here I'm a little stuck but will do some digging online to get going and post any updates on here. Happy new year everyone

What about the stepper motor? does it go on top of the printer? if it does I am not sure how it will work

Hi, bhureau,
Honestly I'm not sure at the moment, was hoping to find some pictures online of a constructed unit but sadly cant find one anywhere. I'll take a picture of the rest of the parts and put it up here. Richard has bagged them separately which should help work out what goes with what.

You need to do the following Assemble 1 and 15 Then screw the shortest side of 15 into 2 Screw 3 into 2 6 is screwed on top of 1
8 should be on the side of 20 5 should be on one side of 20 20 is screwed on the steeper motor 4 is screwded on the axis of the steeper motor on number 2 you need to put the little cylinder and maintain it with one of the screw
Then take some pictures of what you have assembled Boris

Got a feeling 24 is the silver dial that goes next to the LCD display (first picture in post at top) Incorrect

4 need to be screwed on the axes of the motor 18 goes into 12 12 and 11 should be fixed on 20 and all that goes on the motor and somehow you should fix both fan This is your extruder

10 goes inside 1 and you have to make sure that your filament still moves. To be honest I do not really like the metal hotend, it does not work well with PLA

20 if flat approx 2.5 mm thick. 4 wont fit onto the end of the motor about .02 mm to small. Could possible be forced on but no change of getting it off it wrong. No thread just smooth. 10 fits into the blue end of 1 (technically 6) but doesn't lock in, can pull back out easily. Will take pics. Got to nip out in a bit for new year but will be back online tomorrow. Thanks again for your help. Enjoy new year

Hi, the little screw isn't stopping it going on the axis (doesn't go in that far), can only get it approx 1 mm on
