this is the current state of my delta 3d printer build, I’ve got the frame partly assembled so i can do strength tests on it. the end effector is partly done. i’ve cut and glued my push rods, and they seem to measure +/- 100 microns which i think is ok. also i found this loctite 680 metal glue which is great for gluing metal balls to bolts for use in magnet joints.
and today i bent up the metal stepper motor mounts. i also finished drilling and tapping all my m4 T nuts
I’m warning you do not use the loctite because if you ever half to tinker with your printer you will have to buy the whole part that you but the screw in
Loctite comes in a non permanent form as well. I would suggest at least something to keep screws from backing out during the crazy vibes you’ll be getting while printing. I would at least use lock or split washers.
@Van_Robbins i’m only using it as an alternative to welding my push rods. they are more accurate this way. also it’s not normal loctite. it’s loctite 680 retaining compound.
may you explain how do you connect diagonal rods? I see sphere erminals in it, but I can’t figure out how you’ll connect it to carriage
