    [SPOILER="Old text"]Good evening folks As some of you might have heard I am making a 3D printer....and to help me funding the whole project I've set up a kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/942196753/making-a-cheap-delta-3d-printer/ I also try to make a nice animation for the kickstarter as soon as possible If it's done I'll try to experiment with 3D printing penspinning pen parts (mostly bodies and caps) I thought some of you might be interested in this so that why I posted it :) feel free to share this with fellow penspinners or who ever you want thanks ow and if you have any questions/tips on how to improve the kickstarter then feel free to post them :D[/SPOILER] okay folks, because the community did not had any profit of the kickstarter they decided to suspect it D: so yea our kickstarter is gone but We're sill making a 3D printer. I've decided to use this thread as an update thread instead, I'll only visual updates here like photos/videos and give some explanations as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

    You can make a 3-D printer? As cool as that sounds you are either lieing or are way to smart to be wasting time spinning pens.

    How much do you need and how do we know the money goes straight to the project not for your personal gain.

    €600,- and it's very difficult to make 2 good quality printers for that amount of money and we'll show a picture if it's done. It's also kinda stupid to post a scam on a forum where I've been active on for 5 years....and one of the admins here lives literally 4 houses from my place

    Backed up with 10.00 Euros! Anything to support fellow oldies. btw if you scam me I will personally travel over to Netherlands, find Fang, torture him until he tells me where you live to ultimately destroy everything you love in life including your dutch clogs. Good luck! :)

    Although I have no money to give ( I'm too young to have my own cards and stuff ), I'd just like to say that rarely do scams happen in Kickstarter ^_^ So you probably shouldn't worry about scamming and all that stuff :D

    Good Luck! :) When you complete it, you have the power to mass produce pen parts, you could sell it.

    Like I defend Xienix here. I probably tell you his address for a cookie. Oh, and a front row seat to watch him suffer.

If you have any questions feel free to ask :) so here's a prototype 3D printer made mostly from K'nex :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsjbpS-A0hU It's not perfect because it's k'nex but I wanted to test some of the stepper motors
