Prepping the Femurs, Base, Faceplate, and Gears
Femurs
Start by using a heat gun and heat the hole on the femur. Make sure to keep the heat gun on low and a safe distance away from the femur. Only heat the hole of the femur enough to loosen the plastic just enough to insert the ball stud. Insert the ball stud, ball side up, into the femur hole from the bottom side. Use a socket screwdriver to apply even pressure when pushing the femur into the ball stud.
Baseplate
To prepare the base plate you will need a soldering iron and the #2-56 x 0.115″ heat-set inserts for plastics and M3-0.5 x 3mm inserts for injection molding. The #2-56 x 0.115″ inserts will go through the topside of the base plate (side without grooves) while the M3-0.5 x 3mm inserts will go into the bottom side (side with the grooves). Adjust the temperature of the soldering iron to around 320°C. Place an insert on top of a designated hole, then use the soldering iron to heat the insert and slowly push it into the base plate. Reference the diagram below to figure out which inserts go in which hole.
*IMPORTANT*
Keep the soldering iron perpendicular to the surface to ensure that the inserts are not going in at an angle. This is particularly important to keep the screws that go into the gears and motors leveled.
Faceplate
Repeat the same procedure as the baseplate for the faceplate using #2-56 x 0.115″ heat-set inserts.
Gears
Repeat the same procedure as the baseplate for the gears using the M3-0.5 x 3mm inserts for all gears.
Assembling the Femurs
Run the femur through femur slide making sure the femur is being inserted into the side of the femur slide that has the extrusion. Insert 2 steel ball bearings to the top and bottom femur rails. The entry point for the balls is on the side with the ball stud.
Take 2 femur yokes and place them on the femur slide so that they enclose the extrusion. Insert the legs of the femur yoke into the femur yoke sleeve and insert the exposed leg into the designated hole on the base plate. Repeat for all 6 assembled femurs.
Assembling the Gears
This assembly process is only for the idle gears. Place a shielded metal bearing into the slot of the idle gear. Next, orient the anchor so that the extrusions are on top so the inner part of the anchor can hold the inner race of the steel bearing. Line up the extrusions to the grooves inside the gear and slowly press it in. Be careful when inserting these anchors as applying too much pressure can break them.
After placing in the anchor, take a gear spacer and insert it into the gear. Insert a M3-0.5 x 12mm button head cap screw through the topside of the gear and out the back through the spacer.
After assembling the all the femurs, screw the ball stud into all the 30 teeth idle and driver gears. Use a 5mm wrench or pliers to screw in the ball stud.
Note: If you plan to remove the bearing later you cannot reuse the same anchor and will need to print a new one to refasten the steel bearing.
Attaching the Motors and Gears to the Base Plate
Attaching the Motors
Orient the baseplate to see the bottomside with the grooves. Line up the motors with the grooves that are on the bottom side of the backplate. Make sure that your motors’ D-shaft is going positioned to go through the baseplate. Secure the motors with #2-56 x 11/16″ pan head machine screws.
Attaching the Gears
Flip the baseplate to have the top side up facing up. Install the driving gears first. Find the 2 driving gears that have a D-shaft cutout. Match up the D-shaft cutout to the D-shaft on the motor and insert the shaft. Push the gear all the way down until the gear is secured. Next, take the posts on holding the femur slide and insert those into the post holes of the baseplate.
Now we will install the idle gears. Following the driving gear, take an 18 teeth idle gear and place it on the hole next to the driving gear. Secure the idle gear with a M3-0.5 x 12mm button head cap screw. Use a [I need to specify the size] hex bit to screw in the screw. Following the 18 teeth idle gear is a 30 teeth idle gear. Repeat the installation process for all gears. To determine the position of gears, remember that the 30 teeth idle gears will be in line with the driving gear and the idle gears are in line with each other.
Note: Keep each 30 teeth idle gear 180° out of phase from its neighbor. For example, if the ball stud of the driving gear is directly next to its femur post, the neighboring gear (the middle gear) will need to be positioned so the ball stud is furthest from its femur post. Feel free to unscrew the 18 teeth idle gears to make it easier to adjust each gear.
Securing the Top Plate and Cable Routing Tube
First we will install the top plate before installing the cable routing tube. Align the dovetail in the back of the top plate with the divot in the bottom plate. Slowly fit the top femur posts to the holes in the top plate starting with the posts closests to the back and work your way to the front. After all the posts have been inserted into the top plate, position the long plate spacers in the four corner holes between the two plates. Screw them down with a M3-0.5 x 35mm socket head cap screw. Insert the screw from the top plate and screw it into the post using a [I need to specify the size] hex bit
Installing the Final Accessories
Faceplate Assembly
The faceplate is made to accommodate ultrasonic sensors or our blank eyes. First insert the spacer into the side grooves of the faceplate. Make sure the orientation of the legs of the spacer line up correctly with the faceplate. Repeat this for both sides.
Optional: If you are planning on mounting an ultrasonic sensor then use the eyes that have the cutout for the ultrasonic sensors. Add the 4 board clips with the thicker part positioned on the inner side of the cutout. These clips will hold the sensor in place.
To insert the eyes start with pushing the eyes towards one direction of the faceplate, on one of the spacers, then slide the other side of the eyes into the faceplate.
Adding Feelers and Faceplate
Insert the feelers into the front rails and secure it by inserting the faceplate. The faceplate will slide partly into the rail and will hold the feelers in place. It should be flush with the rest of the front of the top plate. The faceplate will be secured by #2-56 x 1/4″ flat head machine screws.
Assembling and Attaching Legs
Start by fitting all the socks onto the feet of each leg. Next, match up the dovetail on the femur to the cutout in the leg and insert the legs. Repeat for all six legs. The last step is to put the shell on top of the robot.
And done! Slide in a 3DoT when ready.
SpiderBot Version 2.1 Delta 3D Printer is Unveiled With New Unique Heating System - 3DPrint.com
When it comes to desktop FFF/FDM 3D printers, we are limited to two different types of technology. There are the more traditional and conventional Cartesian style printers which utilize a box shaped gantry where the hot end is moved on the X/Y/Z axes using common gantry techniques. Then there are the less popular, but no less effective delta robot style 3D printers which utilize delta robotics tp attach the 3D printer hot end to three separate arms which also are capable of precisely moving the print head in all three dimensions (X,Y,Z). When it comes to choosing the 3D printer that is right for you, it’s really all about preference. Delta machines are typically able to provide more print area per printer size, but also are limited more in the X and Y directions.
For one company, run by Myriam & Philippe Boichut, they’ve been building and selling delta style 3D printers for quite some time. This week, however, they released their latest version of their rather popular SpiderBot 3D printer.
SpiderBot v2.1, which comes in three different forms — the Standard Kit (starting at 1140,00 €) , Pro Kit and Custom version — has officially been unveiled and made available for purchase this week, with a mere lead time of just 3-5 days.
For those unfamiliar with SpiderBot, their printer features a “tilting dual head” extruder which allows for the printing of more complex parts. It also includes some other high end features such as linear guides, magnetic ball ends, stainless steel rails, a full metal chassis, an enclosure, and the special TSS (Three Sphere) System, which is explained as follows:
“The extrusion head is supported by a single plate with only 3 spheres and the Rod-End magnets. The TSS is a combination of magnets with spherical bearing surfaces at every end of the 6 carbon tubes connected to three spheres on the support plate that holds the extrusion head. The support plate has only three spheres so that each sphere is always perfectly positioned by two arms. Through this support by only 3 points, it is always perfectly parallel to the heated bed. Due to the magnetic connection that can be broken by applying the right amount of force, maintenance on the print head is easily done.”
On this latest version 2.1 of the SpiderBot, the company has worked very hard to improve the print quality of this TSS system by improving the ventilation and air flow within the printers’ enclosures. Using simulations that they compiled, they were able to study the airflow that took place within the SpiderBot, and used this information in order to build a system that can use the hot air within the printer’s enclosure to keep the printed part warm enough to prevent warping or shrinkage, but at the same avoid hot spots within the enclosure and the print bed.
The printer’s main fan has been inclined, which creates two separate air flow streams (seen in red in the photos below) rather than just one. Surrounding the print bed, SpiderBot has installed special conical air deflectors (seen in orange in the photos below) which take what would have previously been “lost hot air” and redirect it onto the object which is in the process of being printed.
This allows parts to receive approximately three time the hot air than on other similar 3D printers, thus preventing warping on ABS printed plastic parts. This is really a revolutionary system for delta style 3D printers, one which should really enhance the print quality of printed objects, specifically objects printed in ABS.
What do you think about these new redesigns seen in the SpiderBot v2.1? Will this really enhance the quality of prints? Discuss in the SpiderBot 2.1 forum thread on 3DPB.com.
