Sanity check: custom build sizing Hello all, just joined after playing around with my old anycubic pulley for a while as I embark on my duet upgrade that has turned itself into a full-on rebuild. After playing the OpenSCAD calculator, the various excel sheets, and reminding myself of high-school geomery, I think I've got my sizing right, but was hoping the experts could sanity check me.. I'm planning on the following; * Ultibots Corners (https://www.ultibots.com/deltabot-2040-metal-corners-set-black/) * Openbuilds V-slot extrusions -- 500mm horizontal, 1000mm vertical * V-slot gantries -- [openbuildspartstore.com] * 360mm magball rods * Duet smart effector My math indicates that will work and give me a ~330mm print height, right around 20 degree angles, and room for a 250mm bed.. I've gotten a couple different results on this, so i was hoping someone could confirm I got my math right and this will work? Thanks! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849499#msg-849499 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 19:04:41 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849640#msg-849640 Re: Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849640#msg-849640

Remember that your 330mm build height is only in the middle of the bed. Out towards the edges, you have somewhat less, depending on arm length and bed diameter.

Quite so. For my build (also 1m vertical extrusions, 360mm rods. Smart Effector and E3Dv6), it's 470mm at the centre and 420mm close to the towers.]]> dc42 Delta Machines Wed, 20 Mar 2019 13:16:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849594#msg-849594 Re: Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849594#msg-849594 frankvdh Delta Machines Wed, 20 Mar 2019 05:12:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849585#msg-849585 Re: Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849585#msg-849585
The carriages with integrated belt tensioners were from Robotdigg.]]> dc42 Delta Machines Wed, 20 Mar 2019 02:40:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849542#msg-849542 Re: Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849542#msg-849542 1. your BOM lists a 750mm linear rail, but I believe you have room for at least an 800, if not a 900mm one? I am presuming it's because the carriages never need to go all the way to the bottom? Is that correct?
2. your BOM lists a motodis carriage from germany, then another one from robotdigg -- i can not seem to find either one, do you have a link by chance? yeah, so i just figured out that means shipping :) But where do you get your belt tensioners?

I suspect I'll be following your guide pretty closely, so I appreciate the help!]]> japhar81 Delta Machines Tue, 19 Mar 2019 10:28:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849525#msg-849525 Re: Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849525#msg-849525 miscsolutions.wordpress.com]. I think the Ultibots vertices are the same as the Robotdigg ones that I used.]]> dc42 Delta Machines Tue, 19 Mar 2019 03:33:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849499#msg-849499 Sanity check: custom build sizing https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,849499,849499#msg-849499
* Ultibots Corners (https://www.ultibots.com/deltabot-2040-metal-corners-set-black/)
* Openbuilds V-slot extrusions -- 500mm horizontal, 1000mm vertical
* V-slot gantries -- [openbuildspartstore.com]
* 360mm magball rods
* Duet smart effector
