Dr Boo's Parameterised FSR Groove Effector for Delta Printers
Description
Hey, Stop! Do Not Add This Thing. Read The Next Paragraph And Use That Thing Instead! I'Ve Fixed A Number Of Things In This Design, So Please Review Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:520580 For A Better Version. I Wouldn'T Be Using This Version Myself. Use The One Linked Above; It Has Many Improvments! This Is An Effector Assembly For A Delta Printer, Provided In A Highly Configurable Openscad Format (Also Stl). It'S A Bit Of A Mashup And Original Design - See Comments In Scad File. It Uses Force Sensitive Resistors Fsr402 In The Effector Itself To Allow For Z-Probing Via An Interesting Spring-Mount Of The Print Head. I'M Still Working On This So It'S More An Idea Than A Proven Design. I'M Pretty Sure It Will Work Fine Though Some Sizes Might Need Adjusting Here And There. The Effector Used When I Started This Work Is Available At Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:273232 (Author: Nathan Matthews). The Idea Of Placing Fsr On The Printer Assembly (As Opposed To Under The Printer Plate) Was Originally Implemented At Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:386146 (Author: Ed Lep) However I Have Modified The Concept Somewhat By Placing The Fsrs On The Effector, And Restricting Rotational And Lateral Movement Of The 'Plunger' This Is My First Foray Into Openscad. I Have Not Assembled This Yet, And Only Printed Preliminary Prototypes. I'M Happy To Answer Questions And Make Fixes. *** In The Exploded View, The Bottom Part Is Upside Down! I'Ll Fix This Later But The Part Is Perfectly Fine. Update: Looks Like I Don'T Quite Have The Pieces Positioned On The Ground In The "Print This" Part; Instead, Print The Components Individually; Effector, Plunger, And Clamps.
