Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 10 years ago
Quotematthew900 Quotematthew900 Hi, I've haven't used my printer in about 6 months and tried to get it working again this week. I had upgraded to windows 10 since I last used it so I updated the Arduino softare and printrun. Now I can not get the printer to work. When I try to load the firmware with Arduino I'm getting the following error message: avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout avrdby Suitable - Delta Machines

Sweet! Yeah that's a whole other build manual! 3 in total! Yeah I see what you mean with the Al effector plate... There is a few different upgrades in that kits listed build manual compared to the kit I received! Pre cut/made arms, Al effector plate, MKS board, a better hot plate/heat bed (by looking at it, has more power thus more/stable heat etc) and a few more! :/ Confused much!?!

Can't see an aluminium effector plate in that manual? Are you talking about the aluminium extruder mount on the 5.3kgcm stepper? Gets bolted to the acrylic plate amd at the top of the frame? Can you post a pic please? Also, that's he only revB manual I have found, where is this newer version you talk of or older version (not the one on page 1 here)?

Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 10 years ago
Nice work I'm guessing that's because the 2020 lengths are not all the same length (unless you ground or cut them back even to eachother, I had to shave ~0.5mm-1mm off most the 300mm lengths to get them to 300mm exactly, I never checked the long ones though as you can leave them poking out the top a bit to square them up properly), but I am only guessing with that instruction so far.

Thanks heaps for all this info! I cut the arms to 181.2mm which gave me a centre to centre of the Traxxis heims of 240mm exactly as per the manual and doing some measurements with the cariges on, it should print to ~205mm X/Y square (so I should get a 180mm OD circle shape all good) and a print height for about ~290-300mm depending on the stops. The manual states 240mm c to c gives you a 210mm X/by Suitable - Delta Machines

QuoteLegrand In order for the scaling to be correct, the center to center distance of the arms should be 240mm. As you increase the length of the arms your prints will come out small and you will have to scale up as you decrease the length of the arms, the prints will come out large and you will have to scale down. You can make the arms as long as you want, it just screws up the prints. Thanks fby Suitable - Delta Machines

Quotemeq123 Quotedocpayce I finished magnet-rodding my Kossel: Results are, to say the least, GREAT. Print quality went up quite a bit (mainly due to zero backlash). And the best part: Whereas I could only use a radius of 60 mm ... 70 mm before, I can now easily use the full radius of 100 mm without any issues. Bed correction is still necessary, but has to do way less work than before (~ +/- 120by Suitable - Delta Machines

Hi all, Just going through building my Folger Tech Kossel 2020 Rev B kit. After realising that I was using the Rev A Build Manual (this thread on page 1) (whoops) but then finding the Rev B Build Manual on the Folger Tech website, I'm getting right into the build now .

I could by a cheap Windows based computer that will only be used offline if that's my only option, but getting the freeware will mean I have to go online to download it unless I download the file to my Mac then burn the file onto a DVD or CD then upload it to the Windows based computer that way I guess.

Best freeware 3D design software that can be used offline? - 10 years ago
Hi all, Hope this finds you all well. I am trying to find 3D "CAD" modelling software, for Mac OS X, that has a free version and can be used offline so my files aren't saved on the "cloud" or owned by the software company etc. so I can work on my prototypes safely offline and save only to my offline computer.

Re: Which software to chose ? - 10 years ago
I've been looking at them for ages and have decided it's time to give it a go. I know I'll probably need to do some upgrades to it (like a better hot end and extruder etc but they seem to be updating them all the time with better features etc) and probably make an enclosure for it for larger parts to keep them from warping but for now I'm looking at building 180mm disk like objects and 15x15x10mmby Suitable - 3D Design tools

Hi all, First post so hello all from Australia! I'm also in the same boat with the OP. I have used SketchUp Pro and Make quite a bit and find it really easy to use to design stuff (mainly use it for designing timber furniture, home reno designs and ideas, general stuff that doesn't get exported to print through a 3D printer or CNC Mill/router/lathe etc. I have ordered a full Folger Tech Kosseby Suitable - 3D Design tools
