Mini Kossel 3D Printer Kit is a parametric delta robot 3D printer, built in 2012 by Johann in Seattle, USA, based on his Rostock prototype. It is named after Albrecht Kossel, German biochemist and pioneer in the study of genetics.

Mini Kossel

• This is Johann's latest and stable version.
• The rest of this page describes the details of Mini Kossel.

Design Goals of the Mini Kossel 3D Printer

• Zero backlash.
• Speed: 320 mm/s in all 3 directions.
• Resolution: 100 steps/mm in all 3 directions.
• Repeatability: better than 0.03 mm (30 micron)
• Build volume: cylindrical, 170mm diameter, 240mm height.
• Footprint: triangle, 300 mm width (240mm OpenBeam + printed corners).
• Frame height: 600 mm.
• Print surface: round glass, doesn't move.
• Mass of end effector with hotend: less than 50 grams.
• Simplicity: fewer than 200 parts.
• Fully automatic print surface level calibration (auto-level).

Each Kossel 3D Printer Kit comes with all the plastic parts - you need to build a Kossel; which can all be found in the "master branch" of Johann's GitHub at https://github.com/jcrocholl this is a FULL DIY Mini Kossel Kit so you'll just need to add in some of our Maker Filament (1.75mm) and then in about 3-4 days of build time you'll be up and 3D printing!

Please note this is an advanced kit and will require that you know about 3D printers and how they are built; the build instructions assume you have built a 3D printer before and are technically savy in building kits and general electronics. It's a great kit and a lot of fun!! Enjoy!!

Please note: no returns will be accepted on used 3D printer kits for any reason... once you start building your 3D printer kit we are unable to accept any returns as these parts would be considered used. By ordering this kit from MakerGeeks are you agreeing to these terms. Thank you!!
