Delta Effector for Nimble, Precision Piezo Probe, and built in fan shroud

thingiverse

I have uploaded a new design that provides an even stronger platform for the Nimble to mount on securely. To assemble it, you will need to print four standoffs and use support for the effector component. After some experience with this setup, I found the mounts for the nimble were becoming too flexible and causing false triggers. Therefore, I redesigned the mounting system and am currently testing it out. I will post the updated files soon. Following my Delta 6 printer project (http://openbuilds.com/builds/delta-six.476/), I discovered the extruder with a built-in fan shroud. I had previously modified another effector but was never satisfied with the way the fan was mounted. So, I decided to give this one a try. Before I could fit it onto my printer, I ordered a Precision Piezo probe (https://www.precisionpiezo.co.uk/) and a Nimble extruder (https://zesty.tech/). Until those parts arrived, I put the effector aside. Once they came in, I was finally able to get started. I have been learning Fusion 360, so I imported the STEP file for the effector and began creating some modifications for these components. After a couple of days of using it, this setup has been working perfectly. I have included pictures of an early prototype that used a mock-up of the Nimble. The changes to the original effector include removing the inductive probe mount, enlarging the hole where the hot end sits, removing the wiring channel and extending the ducting through that area. The updated effector is now in action - https://youtu.be/WYGcnhIDoRo I have updated the Effector.stl file to widen and deepen the notch for the part cooling fan on June 19, 2017.
