RepRap: Blog

That XY Table I said "Don't print this model, it's only a mockup"? Well, I had the model and there was a printer next to me. It kinda happened. In my defence I only printed it at 60% scale.

If you're also going to not print it, I warn you that my flexures were just eyeballed for the sketch and are too thick causing unwanted resistance/rotation. Also it needs a base of some kind (preferably with diagonal bracing) to stop the bent flexures digging into the floor. Other than that it moves surprisingly well, no sagging and the centre stays level when you move it about.

As I say, needs connections and mounts for axis drivers. But, uh, wow. Useful exercise. I'll keep it around to model in OpenSCAD if nobody else does it hint.

Now, stop playing with it Vik, and get on with the resin experiments.
