Thanks, and you're welcome! This structure ended up being super-complex because the arrangement of required load points (pivots, clamps, axle holes, etc.) and keepouts (rotating bits, etc.) made for a very awkward space to stick straight rods through. In simpler structures, a handful of CF inserts can make a basic print feel like a chunk of aluminum with a single glue-up session (or even without glue, as in my printer's outer effector "ring", which is a triangle of unglued 3mm CF rods to pin the arm joints). Plus, CF is about the same density as PLA, so you can replace plastic volume-for-volume and gain no appreciable mass while massively improving the strength and rigidity!

There is a thing called direct bowden extruder, in which the motor sits away from the gears that contact the filament and are connected by a flexible shaft (like the ones you'd use in drills). This way you can have the gears pretty close to the hotend but remove the weight from the motor, which is usually the heaviest part

@jamespray

You mean like the Nimble extruder I showed early in the video? 😉 I ran it for about a year, long ago, and sadly it's not as good in practice as it looks on paper. The problem is that the flex shafts produce strong periodic artifacting due to the bend, so they only work if you don't mind terrible print quality. An acquaintance of mine is working on a hard-shaft replacement for that (Dalias's "Semitruck") that is pretty interesting.

But as I watched what you made, I'm super impressed with how much you understand performance extruders. I love how you used a carbon tube to extend the drive shaft, so no silly nibble flex shaft. You made a single gear extruder with 2 bearing tensioners, brilliant! That's great because the dual gear extruders cause VFAs, so you can avoid it while saving weight. Very similar to Prusa's latest extruder. I guess the only thing left is, can you get the extruder to hotend distance even shorter? It appears to be at least 50mm.

Thank you! Yeah, there was way more to this design than I could feasibly cover in detail, but I guess those who know, know I set out this year to self-educate about extruders and there is more I would like to get into with the BoomBox video... As for the filament path distance, yes, I have reduced it a bit from the setup shown (which was a bit of a hodgepodge due to fittings that would work with my Pico hot end), and currently I'm able to run about 0.055 PA versus the 0.09 I dialed with the initial setup.

Thanks! I feel that deltas can make a great "blank canvas" for a certain type of person. There used to be more kits out there, but you can still get into a very robust all-metal kossel frame (like mine) with a bit of shopping at RobotDigg (see their aluminum kossel vertexes) and Misumi. (Just about the only negative (to my mind) of kossel is the lack of built-in double shear for the stepper shafts, but that's hardly a showstopper for most builds.) And the neat thing about designing your own delta motion system (though there are MANY out there to try) is that once you have a frame, there's really just the effector and carriages to worry about -- two unique parts! If you're delta-curious but don't want to start that low-level, Rolohaun is working on a mostly-printable delta design that should be a fun entry point to whet your appetite -- check out his discord for more info there.

It looks like you can also drill out the center of the metal wheel and replace that with a flat carbon disc to keep the strength up while losing a bit of weight. Same with the worm drive where the center of that could probably be drilled out and if necessary replaced with later material to keep the stability of the gear itself up. I have some other thoughts as well regarding the complexity that might be minimized. If you're going to do another version, I would love to drop some ideas that might make it easier.

@jamespray

Great thoughts, thanks! I didn't have time to get into it in the video, but a big takeaway from the early design process was that compromising on the rotating components in ANY way led to extrusion quality problems, and I will always set quality above other requirements if there's any conflict. That's not to say there aren't lightening opportunities here, just that in lieu of a decent lathe / CNC setup I don't feel confident tackling them. I think if I were to take this design further, I'd explore bobbin-wound or forged CF approaches to see how the results compare (but for now I'm happy to use it as-is!).

amazing video

Great work ! I’m new to your channel so I don’t know if you already thought of that, but what about using a belt to transmit the force instead of a rotating shaft ? Because you know belts are lightweight 😎 The motor and gearbox would be mounted at the center of the triangle formed by the 3 carriages of the linear rails The belt would go straight down to the extruder, with each of the two parts of the belt being enclosed in a separate CF tube, so that the belt doesn’t rub against itself The tubes would also counter the tension of the belt The motor assembly would have to be rigidly mounted if no bowden tube is allowed, so maybe a small length is advisable, as you did here I guess someone thought about it before me haha

From there, you'd just need the usual set of electronic items and extrusion system, a set of rails, and either design or find a motion system you like. If you don't want to scratch build one, kossels come up on places like Facebook marketplace and similar now and then (depending on where you live) and have often lived their lives quietly in closets so they're not in bad shape!

@jamespray

I calibrate and level manually, by tapping the nozzle on the glass and adjusting configuration (though this is only needed when I've changed the motion parts). If level isn't consistent between bed center and edge, that is a configuration problem with the delta radius setting (you can dial this in by comparing 3-point bed-edge and 1-point center Z readings and adjusting radius until they all tap exactly the same). Adjusting delta radius requires verifying print scaling with a long print to see if prints come out to 100% scale -- over/under means the arm length config needs adjustment. I hope that gets you started, but it's worth googling for a full description of the process. It doesn't take too terribly long and can be much more reliable than probe-based autocalibration.
