So, I'm building a scaled-up Kossel Mini, with ~310mm horizontal extrusions. How long should the carbon rods be?
I've heard two 'rules of thumb': 0.8x the aluminum extrusions, and twice the delta_radius. However, both of these seem quite imprecise. What are the pros and cons of shorter and longer rods?
I will be using a reuleaux-triangle build plate that just barely fits inside the belts (with the corners of the triangle at the corners of the printer). I need to be able to reach a bit farther to retract the bed probe (right?), but that could just be one spot. So, how long should the carbon rods be?
