      @loic:

      do you have an idea about the cost for a kit?
      i will buy one for my delta xxl project +nimble

      I think we will publish the prices tomorrow or Tuesday.

          Yes we can do 0.002 probing standard deviation too. If you're talking about 0.002 delta calibration deviation, then you'll need a very precise machine as well as a very precise probe, but the two go hand in hand. So far when you get to these levels of precision no previous probing tech, really enabled us to see whether the printer needed tweaking or the probe was just too vague. Now we can see the difference.

          To be fair the sensing modality between our system and T3P3/DC's is very similar technology. I am quite sure DC and Tony will have done a lot of work on making it strong, reliable and above all reasonable to manufacture. The key question is cost. Given the accuracy/operation is likely to be very similar.

          I think the market is quite big enough for two nozzle contact sensors. If you are using the PCB effector then you'll be using the nozzle contact sensor which comes with it too. If you are not then our sensors are an option.

          But if you still think you can compete with this type of nozzle contact tech with an IR, inductive, capacitative, BL touch, deployable probes etc, then think again.

            Simon I have achieved a delta calibration this morning of 0.003 with the PCB effector.

              The best I'm managing is 0.007 regularly I've seen lower but this is a lot to do with the mechanical precision of the machine, the probes are accurate enough.

              So well done. It's a great result.

                How does your setup do with Russ's probing accuracy test? https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=1330&p=1

                  mine have been 0.006-0.007 until this morning haven't up;oaded the stuff to russ's test to be fair but once I get fully sorted I will upload them

                      djd: yes you option is very great for non pcb option
                      i plan to install one on my original anycubic delta
                      on my smoothie and xl delta project it will be pcb for a clean design and i really like that we can use zesty nimble on it(the best combo so..light pcb+ the best extruder for delta)
                      someone know how is made zesty nimble?does it print parts or mould plastic?
                      other thing dc42.. i have ordered for my carriage made in europe this

                      20*15mm version..so does it possible to order one with the right size hole directly?

                        You could always print a jig with the holes in the right place and drill a second row of holes in the carriage adaptors.

                        As for the Nimble the plastic parts are printed using SLS Systems by an outside print house and are done at 0.05mm layer sizes in Nylon12 material

                            The reproducibility you get will depend in part on the microstepping you select and how friction-free your machine is. The resolution of the probe can't be better than the microstep resolution, and will be worse if friction causes the effector not to move on each microstep - which is more likely if you use smaller microsteps.

                            There are the Z resolutions you get with typical configurations:

                            1.8deg motors, 20 tooth GT2 pulleys = 12.5um
                            1.8deg motors, 16 tooth GT2 pulleys = 10um
                            0.9deg motors, 20 tooth GT2 pulleys = 6.25um
                            0.9deg motors, 16 tooth GT2 pulleys = 5um

                            If you increase microstepping to x32 then you might halve the resolution, but only if friction is low enough and you have enough motor current.

                              I have 0.9 deg motors 16 tooth pullys and have 16 microstepping with interpolation set so I am pretty pleased with how it is coming out (Haydn Mag ball arms Delrin ends)

                                do you think you will have black color pcb instead bleu(it s for better looking )

                                need an advice from expert
                                i would like to use 550mm length of horizontal OpenBeam (triangle)
                                and 1200mm for vertical
                                for you what will be the best size for length arm
                                i can t arrive to know what size i need to order on haydn s shop

                                  I use 500 mm Horizontals and 450mm arms which are a bit longer than is actually need so maybe 480 or so would be ok for you.

                                  I can't see the pcb's being in anything other than Blue to be honest and the Beta hotends are also anodised Blue whether the production ones will be the same is to be seen

                                    on this calculator i can see for my setup 440mm..
                                    what is you verticale size?

                                      Vertical makes no difference to arm length but mine is 1000 you may well get away with 440 but they will be very close to the limit What size bed are you aiming for mine is 360mm Dia

                                        The production PCBs and heatsinks are both blue. I have both fitted to my delta now 🙂

                                          Did any beta tester experienced "ringing" due to the custom mounting with the sensor ?

                                          Delta goes BrrrRRRRrrrrrRRRRrrr

                                            This certainly seems the optimum delta configuration at present, nozzle contact sensor, linear rails, Haydn magnets, stiff effector and carriages (PCB/metal). About time for someone to blow it wide open with a radical new design 🙂 I do like the Tevo Little Monster frame that's a nice idea, a lot of the rest of the stock machine is so so but the frame is a good idea.
