... the "double ball joints" were my solution for a "stick'n'slip" problem when using it for etreme fine positionig -- if you look into my images, every joint consists of 2 ball magnets, rolling on each other, so no gliding and no stick'n'slip (was meant for micro-positioning with a working range of below 50mm square and step resolutions near to single microns). But then too, the "joint" is notvon VDX - Delta Machines
... with the double-ball joints you''ll have a "nonsingular" joint, so the kinematics are more complex ... but with only one magnetic ball, an iron-counterpart and a PTFE-ring to give some microns distance, it's the same, as with the ball'n'cup jointsvon VDX - Delta Machines

Hello Marcos, depending on your needs there are many different sub-forums like for firmware, electronics, mechanics, PC-software and many more. One essential hint - when searching through the forums, then change the searcch date range in the bottom of the mask from "Last 30 days" to "All dates", or you won't find anything usefull ... most interesting infos are much, much oldervon VDX - General

... by the way - with the galvanic approach you can easy manufacture any size and form of tips and probe-points, which you can get as "hollow form" in a plastic sheet. This would be a perfect use for the UV-LCD-3D-printers with roughly 25 microns big "voxels". With some tweaking you can get even finer resolution, if you modify a common data-beamer with an UV-LED as light source and adding a redvon VDX - Tech-Talk
