This is awesome. I will make one, in bright red. I ran Slic3r on the parts using Charles Steinkuhler's Wally .ini in the github repo, and the total came out to 1.07 Kg of plastic.
I can't see the assembly files until I upgrade my Inventor version (a 4GB dl), but in the meantime, a few questions for Nicholas:
- What slicer did you use for the parts? What settings do you recommend?
- There's a large square cutout in motor_arm inside the gear that results in a huge bridge (1+"). Is there any particular reason for this?
- What extruder do you recommend to go with a Simpson?
- Do you use supports for the 608 bearing holes? The topmost bearing holes in many parts have large overhangs.
Thanks!
