Aerostock : "magnetic" carriage add-on

thingiverse

To enhance my carriages, I printed a temporary add-on featuring a magnetic effector, replacing blue ball-links and aluminium profile. Upon installation, I'll print a complete, all-in-one magnetic carriage set for my carriages. In the meantime, the SCAD file offers joints that can be used to repair Rostock or other carriages. Check out this speed test: http://youtu.be/R3WuQjNps9E. I made adjustments to provide more room for the magnet (+2/10mm in diameter). After assembling on my delta, I noticed that a single lateral force could dislodge one rod near a column when it was nearly horizontal. To fix this issue, I added an epoxy ball seat, which is magnetic and made from "JB Weld" in France or steel-loaded epoxy. The sphere shape of the seat reduces friction by acting as a tank for oil.
