Hey guys,

just a quick update. Here you can see a printed spur-gear with different functionalities.

Can you please explain the different functionalities? Seems you mixed different material to get different properties (stiffness, flexibility/compliance?)

[taconite]

So of course the functionalities come with the multi-material print

1. reduced friction and therefor wear
2. increased strength/stiffness
3. flexible material for compliance/dampening of torque peaks
4. Sensor element for the detection of wear

@taconite thank you for explaining! Do you use some of those BF350 as sensor or something different?

[taconite]

Better conductive filament

@taconite clever idea!

Here you can see some better pictures of the D-PATCH

@taconite Happy to see this project alive and well!

@taconite would IT be possible to get the Files for rebuilding? Best

[taconite]

@HebigT slow and steady

@PCR Sure if there is demand I will put all the files plus BOM on Github (or similar). The one you see is lets say the "maker" version where you need close to no custom parts.

At the moment I work on another version with some improvements (which can be easily implemented in the maker version)

@taconite that would be great! I really Love the Idea of a Delta toolchanger!

@taconite

Just saw that you started to sell the D-Patch! Really nice! When is ETA for the "Maker" Edition? Or are you selling the custom parts too? Greetings from someone who was born in bavaria too
