Anycubic Predator Full Assembly

Anycubic Predator Full Assembly model =============================== Description ------------- This is a full CAD design of the Anycubic Predator motion system. I took on the challenge of designing it from scratch, as I couldn't find any existing designs to build upon. Initially, this was only supposed to be a tower extrusion project, but things quickly escalated. All essential measurements are carefully calculated and verified using vernier calipers or sourced directly from CAD drawings provided. Components ------------ The entire motion system is meticulously modeled, including: - Tower extrusions - Tower carriages - Delta arms - Delta effector - Stepper motor assembly - Idler and tension assemblies I have successfully implemented the delta kinematics within the Fusion 360 design, allowing each tower carriage to move freely while the effector accurately tracks the positions of the A, B, and C tower carriages. Software used ----------------- All design work, assembly, and rendering were performed in Fusion 360. File formats -------------- The following file formats are made available: - f3z - A Fusion 360 archive containing the assembly and all parts as separate components. - step - A Fusion 360 design with all components within the master assembly. - skp - A SketchUp design containing all components within the master assembly. - stl - Three versions, two medium detail and one low detail. These can be used to enhance your slicer. Licensing ------------- This design is published under the Creative Commons Attribution license.

Changelog -------------- 06 Dec 2019: Initial release 07 Dec 2019: Updated STL's with a -50mm height offset for machine models in slicers 15 June 2020: Model updated, corrected V-slot to T-slot. Also uploaded SketchUp file.
