Tks Nicholas for the update, that's good news!
Calibration - Validation:
I'm hoping that the calibration works out for you, and I'm looking forward to the validation phase!
Print envelope size (new arms):
What is the largest X,Y square box length that Simpson can print with a height of 63.5 mm (2.5 inch Z)?
@Owen,
The new arms look great! Tks for posting the video.
Hysteresis, Brownian motion, White noise:
Am I seeing hysteresis (string lag) at the start of the first movement?
I don't envision it being an issue with all 3 arms in motion, and printing a raft will also account for it.
Simpson might be a candidate for the addition of noise into the system. :)
WWII airplane instrumentation was found to be more accurate while flying vs. on the ground.
The noise (vibration) averaged out the mechanical components, providing improved map coordinates.
Idea, Gear tooth polishing:
I wonder if the fit up between teeth, and the smoothness of the rolling motion could be improved with a chemical vapor polish?
Is there a chance that the chemical polish will relax internal stresses and distort the gear profile?
If stress relaxation is an issue, the majority of the arm can be masked off with a plastic bag.
