I have a few samples of the IGUS bearings at hand and don't like them very much. Both the KARM-06-CL and the KARM-08-CL samples I have are too stiff.by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Thanks. And the joints on the Tractus3D printers? How are these called? The ones with the stud mated to the rod end. Are these custom made?by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Hi, anyone knows about/uses clevis joints on their deltas? Weiss uses them on some delta robots. And so do some of the Chinese delta pick and place robot manufacturers. Cost of a custom solution aside what's the downside of these?by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Is there a downside to big (30-35 degrees) minimum angle other than lowered print height?by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Hi, is it possible to run the Smoothieboard with more than 3 delta towers like you can do with the Duet3D? If not am I correct that the V2 has enough HW power to run that in theory and all that's missing is the software support? Thank youby Anon1337 - Smoothie
How about the "Given that diagonal rod length, choose the rod separation. I suggest about 1/6 of the rod length." rule that originated on David Crocker's Solutions blog?by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Could someone please point me in the direction of some nice literature or arms spacing? I'm building a delta with outside radius of about 500mm and height of about 1500mm and I wonder if 100mm. Thanksby Anon1337 - Delta Machines
Also I've read about the "2:1 rule" when designing carriages. Could someone please elaborate? I can't find any info.by Anon1337 - Delta Machines
I'm building a very large Delta printer from MakerSlides (hexagonal, flying extruders, enclosure that also acts as to stiffen the construction) and I wonder if the carriage material does have a huge impact on printing. Sure less mass is better that's why I've went with carbon arms but when it comes to carriages that go just up and down does it really make financial sense to make them from carbonby Anon1337 - Delta Machines
