Thrown Rod Halt
Project developed by Bwbarker
Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-design Template:Boxbottom
Abstract
- I know everyone of us with a MOST Delta RepRap has thrown a rod at some point during a print. Even when you finally have a very well calibrated printer it is still possible that your hotend runs into your print or your hand as you try to fix something you don't like before your printer head comes back.
- Since the end effector, rods, and carriages are all magnetically attached we can use this system as a fail safe or pause switch.
Bill of Materials
- Conductive paint, pen, or other 'cold solder' option
- Approx 3 feet of wire
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- Requires a printer with magnetically attached diagnonal rods
- Wire strippers
Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT
- Some knowledge of your firmware and host software
