Giant Delta 3D Printer Buildvlog #6 Endeffector Design 

Thank you, i'm happy with it as well! I will start the build once I'm done with my current massive engineering job. That one will be shared once it has been handed over to the customer and recordings/pictures are published. What can be said is that it is the largest sportfishing yacht in the world by a big margin. www.royalhuisman.com/the-stage-is-set/#

Thanks for the compliment! it is definately a challenge and a fun project. Have fun and if you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to reply

Yeah me to! I just realized, I'ts time to get back working on the printer. (and other projects)

Thanks! I am very busy at the moment and try to post new video’s soon. I am moving to an other house and planning to build a workspace (also for video). Check my website in the description for a couple pictures😉

Thanks! Well I considered building the endeffector all aluminium (actually made the first and second version like that) and in a "hybrid" form, as you can see in this video. There are several advantages for the carbon/aluminium version, first, it makes it easy to switch between hotend types and configurations (normal/volcano, single/double) . So if I want to replace an aircooled one with a watercooled version, it is possible without replacing the entire endeffector. Another important thing is that I can upgrade the endeffector to a direct drive setup in the future. I have a couple of nice designs for a lightweight extruder and this endeffector design can accommodate that. Allthough it is made out of a lot more parts, each one is easier to make. If I'd make this whole assembly as one part it would mean the milling would be a lot more complicated and I'm not confident my machine is up to that task. With good adhesive between the carbonfiber and aluminium I am not really worried about the strength and it coming apart. And finally: I have a really nice selection of high quality carbon fiber sheets that I really look forward to use in a project. I hope that explains it

Well the idea is that you eliminate slop in the joints without introducing a significant amount of friction caused by the spring that is pulling the 2 arms on each axis together. Aside from that: it looks cooler but the first given reasons where the primary in the decision.

Not yet, but as soon as I have final versions I definately will. I don't want to bother my viewers with models that may need some changes. Thanks for watching though! I am back on this project and expect to do an update soon.

I beg you to send the model files for printing tokarevnb@gmail.com

Well it faded a bit into the background due to the other projects I was working on and I moved to a new home a couple months ago and it required quite a bit of time and effort to get it ready. I will get back to it in the next couple weeks I think. It's about time right?
