As part of our series of 3D printer test articles, the 3Dnatives Lab is committed to testing cheap 3D printers in addition to more expensive, prosumer printers. This time, we are testing the MicroDelta Rework 3D printer kit which retails at $430. The Rework is the next generation in the MicroDelta range, and the Toulouse-based manufacturer has upgraded this printer with a variety of changes from the original.
Currently, the MicroDelta Rework is only available as a kit, which you must assemble yourself. People who are less DIY-inclined will therefore perhaps want to avoid this printer.
Before showing you the results of the test, here are the technical specs of the MicroDelta Rework. The printer has a build volume of 150 x 150 x 200 mm (vs 110 x 110 x 170 mm for the original) within its 530 x 261 x 285 mm dimensions. It also has an increased speed at 80mm/s. The MicroDelta Rework has a minimum layer thickness of 100 microns on the X and Y axes, and 50 microns on the Z axis.
