Delta 3D Printer Rod Length Determining Tool

thingiverse

This is a tool I built to make it easier for me to figure out how long my carbon fiber rods need to be on my custom delta 3D printer. The holes for these rods in this design are sized for 5mm, which is pretty standard (these come from a Folger Tech Kossel 2020). They screw right onto an M3 tie rod bolt. This can be really helpful when you're building a delta from scratch or upgrading the bed size of your delta printer. They print the fastest together, and you only need four of them. This is a quick print that should take just under an hour for all four.
