This rod alarm system was designed to detect losing rod of the MOST Delta - Athena during printing.
Design and Printing[edit | edit source]
Design[edit | edit source]
OpenSCAD was utilized for Hook and box modeling operations. The MOST-Athena GitHub file repository is located here. The Hook and box assembly were imported into OpenSCAD and the part was designed to accommodate the geometrical constraints of the parts provided to MY4777.

Hook model
Printing[edit | edit source]
The stiffness of the component is driven by the infill percentage. Adjust as necessary to achieve your desired characteristics.
Print Parameters Utilized for Hook and Box:
- Layer Thickness: 0.2mm
- Skin Thickness: 1.0 mm
- Top/Bottom Thickness: 1.0 mm
- Temperature: 180C
- Speed: 30 mm/s
- Flow: 100%
- Infill: 50%
Installation[edit | edit source]
The model is designed to add onto the end effector. Print out Hook qty. 6 and box qty. 3 of the STL and install as shown below.
