Now designing my own delta, has become sort of a right of passage into the rep-rap community, I am fighting with my self to make a decision for length of the end effector rod versus build area. The question (at last) is there a sweet spot equation for best operation for build area and the length of the link rod to the end effector, we all know deltas are at there most inaccurate with the rods most vertical, how far do you go with build diameter? Rods horizontal at the furthest reach of the build area or ?????? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you all for being there. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385048#msg-385048 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 22:56:33 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,386151#msg-386151 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,386151#msg-386151 Paul4865 Reprappers Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:25:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385658#msg-385658 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385658#msg-385658

I have never used it, and was curious if you were using it for your simulations.....]]> vreihen Reprappers Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:18:49 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385652#msg-385652 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385652#msg-385652 Paul4865 Reprappers Sun, 20 Jul 2014 14:55:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385191#msg-385191 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385191#msg-385191 vreihen Reprappers Sat, 19 Jul 2014 09:32:17 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385052#msg-385052 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385052#msg-385052 [forums.reprap.org]

The dimensions are highly depending on the available parts, but essentially it's gut feeling combined with testing.

My columns are 750mm high, the traveling range around 350mm, so I've selected 300mm for the arm-rods and 400mm diameter between the columns -- this will result in a building area of min 280mm diameter and around 350mm building height in the center ...]]> VDX Reprappers Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:23:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385048#msg-385048 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,385048,385048#msg-385048 Any advice would be very much appreciated.
