Heated Chamber delta

[jaguarking11]

I finally finished my my heated chamber on my delta printer.

This is the result.

I am using an automotive 100w heater controlled with a 12dollar thermostat. Its working fine so far. 50c is as high as I have gone, not hotend issues being force cooled with internal air.

Any questions or comments?

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video.

At what point in the video do you show how you installed the heater? I skipped the part where you clean the hotend with the stove, otherwise I watched the whole thing.

Is this the type of heater you're talking about? http://www.amazon.com/Kats-24100-Watt-U ... B000I8VL3O" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I thought of something like this:

For some reason I don't get the e-mail alerts from this forum.

The heater is certainly the 12v automotive heater. Mine looks exactly like the one posted. http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-12V-Heate ... car+heater" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So far the heater can maintain about 50c in the chamber, no need for fresh air cooling for the hot end either. 50c air is enough to prevent jams. One thing I added was a 140mm fan with standoffs to the top of the printer to push the hot air down. I have absolutley no warping with this setup so far. I am very very happy. As a matter of fact I can drop the bed temp to 100c even with no fear of delamination. The down side is that the prints take 5-10 minutes to pop off as the bed temp has to drop to 60-70c before I can remove it. I have a small blower fan ontop of the printer to evacuate the hot air and filter out the fumes through a charcoal filter.
