Funny how that works. As soon as I posted this, I thought I saw the issue. I put in my delta_smoothrod_offset value with the wrong measurement, but once fixed it calibrated like a charm. Test print running now!by RamDragon - Reprappers
Quotethe_digital_dentistWhat would be the point of doing this, other than to say that you can? Hah! It seem that would be the only reason to do it! I was just thinking that so many phones are thrown away simply because they are old or contracts expired that they might be a "free" computing resource. It would seem that the extra problems introduced would have the opposite result instead. A RAMPby RamDragon - General

Okay, that's not the WHOLE question, because it leaves up to interpretation what is meant by "control." You see, I had this thought: I need a computer (Arduino) to run a controller (RAMPS) which is also a computer just with drivers added. The drivers are, well, computers. Yes, I am aware that there are orders of magnitude difference in their complexity and what they can each do, but really, therby RamDragon - General
Since there is already a topic with a similar problem, I'll tag mine on here, too. Hope that's okay. I'm almost done configuring my Kossel 2020, done the paper test, finished the probe set-up, and I am on the diameter calibration (step 15 from the Folger manual). I have carefully measured my Z steps, and as close as I can see with a ruler and my naked eye if I ask it to go from Z1 to Z2, it goesby RamDragon - Reprappers
I don't have time to model any of this, but by replacing the inner rod with another tube and mounting the arms, tubes and motos on a "riser" that has a threaded hole in the center, the Z-Axis motor could be mounted above the assembly with the threaded rod going down the center of the tubes. Using a larger threaded sleeve on the riser would add stability as it moves, and in an ideal configurationby RamDragon - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
The independent moving beds seems like an over complication of a simple problem. In essence you want to increase the distance from extruder to bed, but by placing the motors closer to the top of the tubes, gearing the insides of the gear wheels keeping the same cog ratio, you should be able to reduce the overall footprint of the vertical members and mount the head gantry on the Z axis.
