YAK - Yet Another Kossel

thingiverse

Having accumulated OpenBeam and Open Rail, I discovered the Kossel design and later a derivative called Wolfstock, which is based on Mitsumi extrusion. Deciding to modify Wolfstock for my materials, I have almost reached the stage of melting plastic and cutting aluminum. After successfully calculating equations everywhere and obtaining an appealing visual in OpenSCAD, I have removed individual files due to difficulty managing changes. Instead, refer to GitHub for the most recent version, which I'll also update periodically as a zip file. To build in OpenSCAD, download all files within one directory and open yak.scad for compilation. You may require version 2012.07.18 for it to work. Most parameters are customizable, found in yak_config.scad. I anticipate enhancing the OpenRail framework with stiffeners as well. Check out Thingiverse's item 45913 for related OpenRail pieces. Assemble the frame, print rod mounts and end effector, and add your preferred extruder. My adaptation is based on Wolfstock (https://github.com/wolfmanjm/wolfstock) and Kossel (https://github.com/jcrocholl/kossel). The latest version can be found at https://github.com/zeke7237/yak.
