Re: Grounded Experimental Delta Printer

Experimentation will have to verify this but I think this setup will be wobble tolerant. The large wheels should be able to shake back and forth normal to their surface and the separation between steppers and the tool should remain relatively constant. A typical delta robot would articulate at the ground joint but I am articulating from the mid-joint. (To be technical, a typical delta cantilevers it first arm with respect to the base. My design has the arms cantilevered with respect to each other.) I am worried that two 7 inch arms with the angle maintained by SpiderWire will have too much give. If that is the case, I will switch to a belt. However, all my research seems to indicate that properly tensioned SpiderWire will work like a champ.

All that said, I want a machine that can walk or crawl and hopefully scribble its name. Maybe later the machine will run or skydive and make works of art. This is new territory for me and if I am not messing up them I am not working hard enough.
