This video got posted today and is ideal for something I am working on right now.
The way this person posts is particularly useful for me. They are working on accessible isolated mechanisms that have many potential applications.
There are a lot of people making content where they show off some of their large projects like robots and radio controlled stuff, but I have never made any of these in practice. I don’t waste time on the printer social websites any more. It is almost always faster for me to design something properly, for 3D printing, where I control the clearances, eliminate the need for supports, and print it right the first time.
So, do you have any sources like this when it comes to mechanisms and inspiration where you’ve actually incorporated designs or concepts into your own designs?
It’s fascinating isn’t it?
And you’ve got Tap. And then this…. Which is a work in progress but uses the actual flexture of the printed tool head mount and is adjustable via screws.
So many clever mechanical design concepts
FlexTap by AndrewMcGr
I have been using a Precusion Piezo Orion probe for over 5 years now and it’s great. Also relies on parts flexing.
