- He got the idea for a better machine the Analytical Engine, which would have been fully general purpose.
- When he did not deliver a working Difference Engine as originally promised, Parliament withdrew all his funding.
- His machinist threatened to take all the tooling and parts he had made to make up for late payments for work already done that Babbage owed him. The machinist quit.
Admittedly on his own Babbage did complete the design of the Analytical Engine and an improved Difference Engine that was much smaller and needed only about one fourth the parts, but with no way to get funding and no machinist he could not very well build them.
Or to oversimplify it, breach of contract caused by Babbage's inability to stop engineering better products and get the one he had into actual production.

Why was Charles Babbage never able to build a version of machine that actually worked?
becase the cords was,t right
How long did it take to build the first computer for Charles Babbage?
It took Charles Babbage 9 years to get the computer right.
Did Charles Babbage build the computer at Iowa in 1822?
no
Why did Charles Babbage make the first computerin 1840?
He didnt. He tried to get money for it in 1835 but investors where sceptical due to Babbage's earlier construction failures. In 1837, swedish engineer Georg Scheutz managed to build a machine based on Babbage's blue prints
Where did Charles Babbage create the computer?
London, but he never got to build it.
When did Charles Babbage build the computer?
Charles Babbage arrived at the first mechanical computer by creating the Analytical Engine, a system capable of performing fully fledged arithmetic computations. He is also the inventor of the Difference Engine.
What is the name of the first computer built in 1832?
None of Charles Babbage's computers were built. He invented & designed them but failed to build them. You are probably thinking of the Analytical Engine, but as I said it was never built.
Was konrad zuse or charles Babbage the first inventor of the computer?
Babbage has priority as his invention precedes Zuse by about a century, even though he never was able to build it.
What is Charles Babbage difference engine?
The Difference engine is a engine that Charles tried to build 1850-1859, it was to be used to calculate logarithmic tables.
Who designed the analytical engine in 1833?
Charles Babbage. It was designed as a general purpose programmable computer, mostly to be used to compute tables for navigation and mathematics.
What was the name of the person that invented the first computer?
Charles Babbage (26 December 1791 - 18 October 1871) Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, mechanical engineer and (proto-) computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer. Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. Working from Babbage's original plans, a computer was ultimately built and functioned perfectly. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Babbage had even designed a printer; it featured astonishing complexity for a 19th century device.
Did Charles Babbage build the first computer ever made?
no. but he did invent the first general purpose programmable computer invented.
