Kossel Mini Magnetic Diagonal Rod Calibration Jig

thingiverse

First off, I'd love it if you could please show your appreciation for these designs and find them useful by liking, following and sharing my content. If you have any ideas or concepts to modify the content, I'm all ears! These parts are designed to aid in adjusting the length of the diagonal rods with a 10mm steel ball mounted at each end. The diagonal rods are used in my Kossel Mini Magnetic Joint Upgrade design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2343169) and make the setup calibration process necessary for the magnetic joint setup to work properly as designed much simpler. To use these parts, simply mount them to the aluminum extruded profile on your printer using 4mm bolts and t-nuts (or whatever you can make do with), adjust the length of the rod to the correct length, and then glue the threads in place with either some permanent high viscosity thread locking compound or some Cyanoacrylate (superglue). I've also added variants of the two parts that allow for the pieces to be mounted in the same location during the entire diagonal rod calibration process. The 10mm ball ends simply clip into place and can be adjusted accordingly, removed, and then another adjusted within the same jig setup/location. For calibrating one diagonal rod at a time, print out two of the single cup pieces. For calibrating all at once, print two of the six cup pieces. Note that some extra care is necessary when calibrating with the six cup pieces, but it's straightforward and simple to do!
