55mm Magball Carriage & Effector for D300VS+

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I'm converting my Ultibots D300VS+ to use Haydn Huntley's magballs and arms. I wanted the arm spacing to be 55m to match the Duet Smart Effector, but wanted to retain the nice tensioning system used on the original Ultibots D300VS+ carriages. Please google for "D300VS+ assembly instructions" to find the original carriage and effector assembly directions.
The original STL files (and .STEP files for some items) can be found here: https://github.com/UltiBots/D300VS-PLUS
Carriages
From the above mentioned github repo, you'll need (1 each for each carriage): d300p_carriage_tensioner.stl and d300p_belt_wedge.stl. Note that the carriages on this "thing" are original works based on the original. There's space enough for M3 lock nuts for the magballs, but you can also use plain M3 nuts.
Effector
The effector here is based on the effector step file from the above linked repo, modified to use with magballs at a 55mm spacing. I've also removed a significant amount of material from the top of the effector in order to allow easier access to the titan aero (or titan extruder.) This makes assembly and cleaning easier.
