Summary of DIY Arduino robot created using Delta 3D printer with Delta X
This article introduces a modular Arduino-based delta robot kit created by Doan Hong Trung, which transforms a Delta 3D printer into a versatile robot. The kit uses an Arduino Mega and RAMPS 1.4 board, enabling applications from laser engraving to automated testing. It is the first open-source Delta robot kit, soon launching on Kickstarter. Videos demonstrate the robot's operation and versatility. Interested users can register their interest on the official Delta X website.
Parts used in the Delta Arduino Robot Project:
- Arduino Mega
- RAMPS 1.4 board
- Delta 3D printer frame and components
- Three coordinated motors (for delta movement)

If you fancy building your very own robot you may be interested in a new project tutorial that allows you to create an Arduino based delta robot with Delta 3D printer. The modular kit has been created by Doan Hong Trung and is based on a Arduino Mega and a RAMPS 1.4 board. Check out the videos below to learn more about the first open source Delta robot kit which will soon be launching via Kickstarter.
“If you’ve ever seen a delta 3D printer work, you’ve certainly been amazed at the careful coordination of three motors to accurate position a carriage. While impressive in this role, delta robots can be used for much more, from laser engraving, to pick-and-place operations, to automated phone testing, or even playing the piano.”
