2014-08-17: Slightly improved the design. Added a lip to better trigger the endstop switches. Made the ball stud nut traps shallower. Changed the angle for the ball studs from 30° to 45° to optimize the amount of freedom they offer.
You will also need the usual M3 bolts, washers and nuts:
- 3 M3x25 bolts for the axles.
- 3 M3 washers as spacers.
- 3 M3 nyloc nuts to hold the wheels on.
- 1 M3x35 bolt for pretensioning.
- 1 M3 nyloc nut for pretensioning.
- 2 ball studs.
- 2 M3 nylock nuts to hold the ball studs on.
Contact me if you need an inexpensive source for the ball studs. I had a bunch custom fabricated. 1000 were essentially the same price as 50, so I have lots left over to share with the Delta/Maker community! I'm offering them for $1 each, plus shipping. haydn.huntley@gmail.com
