Leveling the bed in software is easy. I already have that on lockdown. The problem is that Simpson has a slightly warped (only noticeable on parts over 100mm) coordinate system and it is hard to know...

Ok i've tried a lot of different things including completely replacing the firmware with the Repetier firmware and host. Unfortunalty that caused more problems so i'll leave that for now. Since i seem...

Love that everything is printable - and our 200x200 printer is up and running now ;) The hardware should certainly be easier to source, even in the US, though I wonder about the torsion springs. Were...

I started building the Cerberus 3D Printer but decided that my Prusa printed really well and what I really needed was a CNC router. I am re-using the 8015 extrusion and steppers etc. but these parts...

Nema17 is used for cost saving but I will use a universal mount so individuals can do either. Nema14's should preform better for this application. I found a workable spring on McMaster carr but I am...

I love the torsion springs; it looks much cleaner and comes a lot closer to the constant-force-spring that we discussed earlier! I do wonder about the holding torque vs. spring torque tradeoff. There...

Re: Grounded Experimental Delta Printer
I designed the new springs to have more holding force than the existing Simpson. This will actually mean higher accelerations for me. Currently, I have to adjust the acceleration down to keep people...

"Maggie" looks amazing so far :) Keep up the amazing work. I am very interested in building one :)

Everyone, we need to keep the name "Maggie" under wraps. I am going to make every effort to only refer to her as "Simpson" or "Simplified Simpson" until FOX gets back to me on how licensing would work...

I am finalizing my supplier for the all important torsion spring. My beta run is going to cost me $3/spring. A production run is going to cost me $0.75/spring. McMaster-Carr wants $4+ for a less than...

I agree with cope413 on the support with deltas, it seems to be the only delta with actual support truthfully. The Kossel is more of a bullet train of iteration and advancements. I liked what the...

Great design. I'm following this thread since I found it on google. Made an account to praise you. Can't w8 for a kit to be available for purchase. Keep up the good work!

You probably won't be able to snag one of the 20 beta machines but if you go to ConceptFORGE.org and give me your info I will put you in the queue for the production machines.

I think this gives you a very sturdy and rigid connection, unless you have play between pinnion and rack. You may want to think a little about the pinion diameter (speed vs. resolution). May be its an...
