I'm just wondering if a few vitamins (end stops) can be eliminated with software.
Bed leveling, and end stops are they really required, or can we with precision manufacturing, and software eliminate them?
The software can know how long and what range of motion the arms have. But the software needs to know what position the arms are in. Thats why it moves the arms all the way to the ends and when they hit the endstops we know the position of the arms.
You only need one end stop per arm because you move the arms in one direction till you hit the switch and then location of arms is know.
If you can find a way to tell the software what position the arms are in when it's turned on with less vitamins used then a switch, then you're in luck. But to be honest, a switch is about as basic as it gets.
The same goes for bed leveling. A switch is pretty basic and only cost a dollar or two.
P.S I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the GUS simpson.
Nicholas can you give us an estimate of how many kg plastic is required?
Any development updates you can share with us?
I'm very grateful the world has people like you.
Your work is fantastic!
Thank you so much for sharing.
