Introduction A lot of hard work by a whole list of people has culminated in this end result: LeadingLights, DJDemonD, Moriquendi and Huntley have all put their efforts together to bring you this design. To get the full description, check out DJDemonD's page. This is an effector with an integrated calibration sensor that is designed to use Huntley's magnetic joints. The calibration sensor is a peizoelectric sensor mounted on top of the hot end and senses when the nozzle touches the print surface. This can be registered and used for calibrating the print bed. Added a dxf file for an aluminium water jet cut effector plate that has two options: one for arms spacing of 64 mm, and another for 48 mm spacing. Building it The parts are checked for any flaws and corrected where needed before they can be used. To use these parts, print everything with an infill of at least 60%. Make sure the holes for the bolts and for the pins are sized correctly so that the screws pass through the holes freely and the pins press fit into the Mount bases. Both Mount bases need to be used even if you do not yet have a Nimble. Glue the two Mount bases together, making sure of alignment. The only reason we split the base is because we wanted a clean pressure surface for the peizo sensor. Here is a list of all the needed nuts and bolts: All nuts and bolts are M3 and it is best to use cap screws. 3 x 14 mm to fix base to effector 3 x 20 mm to mount clamp tight to base 2 x 20 mm to close the clamp on the hot end 10 nuts M3 (if also mounting the Nimble, otherwise 8 is enough) Also needed are 3 pins of acetal or PTFE, 4 mm diameter x 16 mm long. You will probably need to widen the holes in the clamp for the pins. This will take a little bit of careful adjustments to get the pins sliding properly but not with too much play. As said before, make sure they fit tightly into the Mount base. The Magnetic effector 64 mm span is designed specifically for Delta printers that have the arms at 64 mm distance, ball to ball. The Prism parts are the same as the others, only the looks have changed. I wanted to try a new look, just for fun. Using it with the Nimble If you're fitting the Nimble The 2 screws mounting the Nimble need to be modified so they don't touch the peizo sensor when it's installed. 1 x 33 mm long, this screw needs to be shortened a bit from the standard 35 mm supplied with the Nimble 1 x 36 mm long, this screw needs to be shortened a bit from a standard 40 mm screw The center hole is for the PTFE tube that reaches up to the Nimble so you can print using flexible filaments. Make sure the length is enough to reach above the top of the lock-in adapter bloc. After installing it, slice the PTFE tube flush with the block. If you are not using the Nimble (yet) you can enlarge the hole a little to make the bowden tube easier to slide through. But remember to print the Mount bases again if you are going to use the Nimble. I have added an image to show which holes are used for the mounting of the Nimble. The Nimble Extruder With an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector, the Zesty Nimble is the smallest and lightest extruder you can buy. It has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations. The Nimble is available from Zesty Technology.
