Magnetic joints for delta.

pinshape

To make use of some IGUS rails I have, a new carriage design is needed as the screw pattern is different from other guides used for deltas. Also, I want to have a magnetic joint system for effector rods. The full set of parts has been created. Provision was made to include an inductive proximity detector for z-probbing (autocalibration and self-leveling are two good uses for it). It seems to work nicely: http://youtu.be/M_j38IW02h0 Instructions: 12 steel balls, 10mm in diameter 12 N42 magnets, 6mm in diameter and 8mm long 6 carbon fiber tubes, 6mm OD Balls are epoxied to the ball recesses made in the parts and magnets are epoxied inside the plastic parts that end each side of the carbon fiber tubes.
