Re: Mini Kossel K800 aluminium - 6 years ago

heres a small video with the paneldue and test auto calibration i know the tapes not perfect but i getting glass and i have matt black printbite for the surface mini kossel 1st run using paneldue from chris kearsley on Vimeo.

Re: Mini Kossel K800 aluminium - 6 years ago

Well it has been a very long journey this mini kossel, from changing the electronics and the arms and going through three sets of arms, so the update i had a issue with the movement of the mini kossel when i was trying to use auto calibrate to test the ir sensor, it was moving not plane to the bed it would rise at certain points and it really baffled me why. So i tried different settings in the f

if your getting a bowl shape or dome shape adjust your delta radius slightly until its flat in the middle, watch thism666 manual calibration

Re: Mini Kossel K800 aluminium - 6 years ago

Well back on the mini kossel build, its taken me ages as lost interest for a while, but now i am back on it, i've replaced the mag effector for a traxxas ends as the effector wasn't stable enough but i thing that was because i should of had the balls on the effector and the magnets on the arms. i got a it sensor and a paneldue 7i and heatbed and printbite, so nearly complete just have to print so

Re: PCB Effector with embedded sensor - 7 years ago

you get rid of movement with traxxas ball ends with springs and i switched 1 not because of the k800 magnet cup system it would print and stay put but wasn't confident it would stay on going faster at far points of x or y axis 2. i wanted at 1st a mini kossel i could change the head to different tool, like i said the only reason why at 1st i chose magnet system. but im not having it as a multi pu

Re: PCB Effector with embedded sensor - 7 years ago

you can get different strengths cup and also think a mag sytems ok for aplications such as being able to swap tool heads easy even your picture lykle show your holding the tubing and that using a draw string to take the relief off the effector, as i know myself at far distance it will fall of,also i want to go at speed and it may be a personal approach but i would be more mind at ease that nothin

Re: PCB Effector with embedded sensor - 7 years ago

no it doesn't a magnet is a magnet depends on the strength og the magnet you use, even you use a draw string to hold your effector on

Re: PCB Effector with embedded sensor - 7 years ago

im changing my mag ball system to a traxxas ball end as the filament as im using 3mm tends to knock the arms off, possible solution would be to go down to using 1,75mm as it isn't as stiff or hold the tube filament pfte tube with one of those draw string,

Re: Direct extrusion and Rostock mini - 7 years ago

yes thats why the mod fora bowden with out much expense would be flying extruder shorten the tube distance between the extruder to hotend, never thought of doing that

Re: Direct extrusion and Rostock mini - 7 years ago

wondered when the plug would come lol you can get rid of slop in the arms if using traxxas ball ends with springs attached to arms, magnet sytems ok if you can get good strong magnets, there are small direct drive motor extruders for deltas,also you could shorten the bowden by having a flying extruder, also the flex3drive which is established and then the nimble i have no commercial links to ei

Ok Rgn its not about rubbishing anything my point has been all along as they have not given any attribution to where they derived it from, next the development into that type of extruder has not been completed by them all they have done is reversed engineered the drive system, and lowered the gear ratio to make it smaller, only 12 months they was developing the nimble upto there kickstarter, and
