2.27.16 MK-X Delta Kraken Effector Update

Effector Update

Here are 6 iterations of the kinematic effector mount left to right.

   - The first iteration had very thin vee blocks with a thin outer ring containing the magnets.

   - The second iteration had a thicker ring and a solid ceiling to prevent sagging from below.

   - The third iteration was larger and a larger Vee groove to better mount the metal spheres

   - The fourth iteration was subtle and slightly adjusted the Vee groove.

   - The fifth iterations had a thicker mount for the M3 screw, as the thinner m3 mount would crack.

   - The sixth iteration has two M3 screw mounts to better balance the mount when attached to the Kraken effector and has proven to be very successful.

The Kinematic Kraken mount using 3 steel spherical balls in which the Kraken hotend attaches to. This is iteration one.

   Here is the Kraken effector with the 3 split Vee kinematic mounts attached to it. The magnets are inset into the effector itself and thus has magnetic properties below for later attachments.

    Here is the fully attached kinematic kraken mount connected to the kraken effector. It has extremely high accuracy. This is based on kinematic coupling using a split vee mount developed by maxwell.
