2020 Kossel Delta carriages Minimalistic with solid v wheels

thingiverse

Spacing front centerline to the bearing hole is precisely 20.25mm. To ensure a snug fit, I experimented with various dimensions and discovered that the design of the carriage allows the arms to flex slightly, keeping tension on the rail. The bearing hole accommodates a 5mm bolt, while two M3x12 bolts securely fasten the carriage car to the y-style carriage. When physically grasped and twisted, there is minimal play; when printing, zero play is detected. To achieve a clean and minimalist design, I opted for a straightforward approach. Since these carriages print rapidly, they can be easily swapped out if they become loose over time. Fortunately, after two weeks of continuous use, no noticeable change has occurred. The following components are required per carriage: * 4 M3 nuts * 2 M3x25 bolts (note: arm length may vary depending on joint configuration) * 2 M3x12 bolts * 3 M5x30 screws * 3 M5 nylock nuts * 3 M5x10 spacers Print Settings: Printer: He3D Delta 180 Rafts: No preference, as rafts don't significantly impact print quality. Supports: Not required, as the design allows for effortless removal. Resolution: 0.15mm Infill: A spacing of 5mm is used to achieve optimal results. Notes: To simplify infill settings in Cura Type A, I utilize the 3D infill feature with a specified spacing value. In this case, the infill type and settings don't significantly affect print quality. I've adjusted the carriage wall thickness to 1.6mm and maintained the standard 1.2mm for the rest of the print. The carriages were printed using PETG, which has become my preferred material due to its exceptional performance.
