Morgan, Wally, and many others too strange and wonderful to be described here. Previously named "Polar bots and Robot Arms"
Re: Grounded Experimental Delta Printer - 11 years ago
@TheYang I'm exactly in the same situation. I have been following the 3D printers world with interest for a couple of years, but i never have been convinced of building one for myself.... until now, Wally and GUS really caught my attention.by harguinxx - Delta Machines

It will certainly increase the force that have to be done, but maybe it works.... I was thinking right now in another way of transmit the force, doing that in a larger area would certainly decrease the deformation.by harguinxx - Delta Machines

Ok, I suppose that you are referring to the filament drive used to feed the extruder, instead of the ones I suppose you are using for the motion, I know you are a busy man right now, but I would thank you if you couby harguinxx - Delta Machines

Well, I know that this is one of the most unique and special 3d printers out there, but if you could make that thing working near to his maximum speed would be a hit in 3d printing... just imagine that, one cheap, precise, easy to build and printable 3d printer that is also fast as hell.by harguinxx - Delta Machines

This is my aproach, as you can see is very similar to yours...by harguinxx - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms

The same here, I thought that the arms length may differ, but if that is OK, the rest seems mathematically correct to me, great work!!!by harguinxx - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Re: Tri-Polar Bot Concept -- Meet Wally - 11 years ago
I think I have an slightly different approach to that mathematical problem, but my question is, you only need the equations that tells you the angle you need in each elbow in order to reach any point in the printable space???by harguinxx - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms

I'm very excited to see your progress in the NY Maker Faire! BTW: do you ever realized that your project seems to be easily foldable into a toolbox-size box if you add a couple of hinges just above the printing surface??? XD obviously the mods will come later, now the most important is to get this thing working!by harguinxx - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Re: Tri-Polar Bot Concept -- Meet Wally - 11 years ago
This project is awesome, I'm just obsessed with it, what are you doing now, does it work as expected? any problems with the kinetics or something???by harguinxx - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
