Nice concept. Might get away with using only Loctite Threadlocker Red 271 permanent locking? Loctite® Threadlocker Red 271™ is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The...

Hi A straight arm joint does not allow the arm to "sneak around" the support pipe quite as well. Time to do some more modeling.... Bob

What do you mean "sneak"? My current LISA2 design will have to change minutely.

I checked the GUS design and one thing that concerns me is the printed gears. I think the backlash and roughness of the printed surface might impact the print quality, what do you guys think?
View ArticleRe: why delta not list on the Build a RepRap page?
It all averages out. I believe that by adding noise, (i.e. Hurst 0.50, aka white noise) into the system you should improve the finish, and accuracy of the printed part.

sorry for interrupt!!! some people use T5 timing belt and some use T2.5. Does it requires any change in firmware? waiting for your reply!
View ArticleRe: Scaling up Kossel Mini
If you use T5 pulleys with half the number of teeth then no, but otherwise yes. The distance travelled in one turn is the number of teeth times the belt pitch.
