    I wanted to share a video showing an additional axis on a delta functioning under Release 2.03RC1. Everything seems to be working as intended.

      Where did you get your smart effector mount from?

          Looks good! But can't the Bowden tube be made a lot shorter, if you tilt the extruder so that the filament outlet is horizontal or 45deg down, instead of what looks like 45deg up?

            I believe you're right on a lower angle. It was a big leap for me with all the added complexity - the extruder carrage falls when the motors are not energized pulling the effector down by the bowden. So I was playing it safe until I can work around that. I will probably end up moving the extruder mount to overhang the bed a bit and get the bowden angle closer to overhead.
            The firmware is really great - it basically just worked straight away with minor effort. I was shocked at it's ease of flexibility - and the added motion is highly enjoyable to watch! Thanks for developing the firmware this is great!

              @Hutch118 Hi, sorry to dig this up but did you ever publish your code or push it back?

              Thanks

              Steven
