My New Effector Plate
-
The aluminum carriages are pretty nice. I'm happy with them - they feel more solid than the injection molded ones. I don't think they're $140, though.
I got way off on this tangent of trying to eliminate all tilt, etc in an effort to track down the "taco bowl" calibration I, and others, seem to get from them. Still haven't sorted that, but the tilt is gone
I need to stop shovelling money into my delta, and start looking at a core-xy as well. Not because I'm unhappy with the Delta, I'm just nearing the point where I'm "happy" with it, and I'm ready to move on. The one major change I'm still weighing is the idea of going to 24v & 0.9 degree steppers before I call it "done".
I'm curious what will be at MRRF, though, there's usually at least one thing that makes me really consider another upgrade…

Yeah, its like $70 for the trucks and another ~65 for the wheels and hardware. Maybe you got a deal
Looking at them it seems like they make belt tensioning a lot easier and are probably a lot more percise in terms of leveling… but, if i go with those i've got to get the magball arms SO thats like ~300 total, i could almost get everything i need for a 300mm x 300mm x 300mm core XY machine (using the electronics and steppers i've already got in the rostock)... although, going that route would mean to printer for a while, and you need a printer to make a printer... i'd hate having to wait for 3d printed parts from 3dhubs. -
Maybe I did pay that, and am in denial.

Everything that trick laser has sent me has been top-notch. Not saying its not worth the price, just saying its making the decision harder…

They cleaned up my delta motion vs. the injection molded carriages. Not sure it was enough to actually see in a print, but it was measurable. I got their arms at the same time, but switched away from the ball cup design to magballs (hoping to sell the arms and get some of the $$ back at MRRF)

I updated the gallery, but here's the shot of my layer fans on my new plate.

Wow, that is just beautiful! How well does your Piezo Z-Probe work?
-
Hello, just wow !
I currently have a 713maker hotted mount, will it be possible to share your step files ? I've got a laser cutter at my job, I'd like to give it a shot
-
What is your rod spacing? I would like to incorporate this into my future build. I need the carriage for a mr12 linear rail H block however. I have the 713 ball cup setup now. Switching over to mag arms and mr12 for a big delta build.
If the Piezo Z-Probe works great you should get 713 to make something up. Just saying.

The piezo's working great - I need to contribute some data to the probe repeatability test, but it's been awesome. (I posted my mount for it in the piezo probe thread)

I can share the step files I provided 713maker, but they were awesome enough to trim them down much further than I had - this was based off of a part I printed, so the original revision I sent them was fairly bulky. They kept the spacing for everything, but slimmed it way down.

I went with a 50mm spacing. The plate has it built in, and then the adapters work with whatever carriage that has the same mounts as the seemecnc barbells (either the injection molded ones, or the tricklaser ones I'm using now). I have something totally new brewing for a carriage, though. Hope to be able to post it by this time next week!
As for the piezo, it works great with the 713maker mount, and a few printed parts. I've put them up here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2268205

Hello,
New to this forum.
Been looking for a aluminum effector for my DIY Delta build. I really like the 713maker E3D V6 mount and Effector, but the Effector is not compatible with Haydn Huntley's magnetic arms and balls. Yours looks like it will work great.
Is it possible to order one of those effector plates from you or 713maker?
