I written a general idea on forklift arms in [forums.reprap.org] However I thought a specfic idea similar to above could apply to deta robots. Notice how some forklifts could lift twice it's height?...

[www.youtube.com] Just found your vid. Its pretty cool! Love it! Btw I noticed you have motors on the arm itself, don't you want to keep the weight of the arms down, by relocating the motor elsewhere?...

To true up the print head you can drop the ears (clearing the center ring) of the top ring mount to the center position. And raise up the ears of the bottom mount in the same way. This would place the...

@Efxjim. The print head stays true as is. The geometry dictates that. The offsets on the central hub could be removed but it would increase the complexity and slightly reduce the rigidity....

What about the Kossel Pro that is currently on Kickstarer? It has auto bed leveling making it a lot easier get starting.... It also uses proper linear bearings that are super easy to install.

The problem with 3d printing is that you need to be precise. Your idea is conceptually good. The challenge is now how do we do that cheaply and precisely. The way I am looking at it, every stage you...

What size prints do you need? If you need tall prints all of the above would be awesome. I haven't really looked in detail at all the specs of the above printers but I can assure you that they all...

@Annirak: what do you think about direct computer control through usb? Instead of a fancy controller, have a simpler board that has some ADC's stepper drivers and most importantly a buffer to smooth...

Hi Nicholas I'd be very interested to see what your/Annirak's thoughts are on using computer control instead of a fancy controller. I've been following the thread and did some reading on Mendel after...
