Re: coreyz/2 - 7 years ago
This is basically what I have in mind as far as the drive belt layout. It has been simplified somewhat to draw it in 2d. imagine the grey belt and the black belt run in different planes so they don't have to cross. There are a few variations of the layout that should work. My other question is whether including the z axis in the coupled pair problematic? I am concerned about the layer resolutiby rustynoob - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: coreyz/2 - 7 years ago
I'll have to work on that. I guess my main thought is that if you can keep the mass low enough you get to a point where it might not be worth adding a frame to the linear rail and at the moment I am trying to figure out where that point is. Reducing the moving mass also has the advantage of reducing hysteresis from mass changing direction which is my goal in this thought experiment. Also I haveby rustynoob - Let's design something!

coreyz/2 - 7 years ago
I have this crazy idea for a one side coreyz using 3 linear rails a bunch of pulleys and 3 belts. The y axis would just be a liner rail attached to the z axis at one end with a mount for two pulleys on the open end. Mounted to the bearing block would be the y carriage made as light as possible ether by use of a bowden tube or a geared dc extruder. The z axis would be another linear rail probablyby rustynoob - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
GUS 1.5ish - 8 years ago
After a little over a year (okay almost a year and a half) I have finally got my GUS Simpson finished and working. Sadly due to a computer crash followed by losing my external hard drive shortly after finishing printing the parts I don't have all the files share the design but hope to inspire further development. I may be able to recover some of the STLs from the friend that did my printing. Thby rustynoob - Look what I made!
modified marlin axis problems - 9 years ago
I have modified marlin 1.0.2 to work on a gus simpson that uses ramps1.4 w/ reprapdiscount Full Graphic Smart Controller. GUS is a grounded delta for anyone not familiar. Filimant loads and unloads work but I can not manually move the extruder from the menu. If I try, then ether all the arm motors vibrate or they all move slowly. I have gone over all my changes (basicly just copying all the #ifdeby rustynoob - Firmware - mainstream and related support
