Anycubic Kossel Magnetic Arms Kit by spikelee

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a solution for both Anycubic Kossel Plus and non-plus to upgrade to magnetic arms with minimum modification.
This package contains an effector adapter model and a carriage model.
The effector adapter adapts the stock effector to provide an interface to magnetic arms which means you can keep the whole stock effector assembly unchanged.
SAFETY FIRST
When using magnetic arms , make sure the effector or the arms won't touch anything during the printing or the magnetic joints may break loose and it is not safe.
Managing the cable well is the first step.
The cable may touch the arms or the belts when printing near the edge of print bed.
Try to avoid that.
if you get the magnets which are not strong enough, there is one simple thing you can try.
Get some shorts M4 screws and screw them from the back of the carriages and effector through the hole of the magnets but do not touch the steel ball of the rods.
Make sure you get the steel screws not stainless steel ones.
You can tell by touching them with magnets.
This will improve magnetic field.
The other parts required:
12pcs of 12mm diameter magnet
12pcs of 10mm diameter steel balls with thread or screw on it.
6pcs of carbon fiber rods
or get the per-assembled rods.
6pcs 8mm M3 screws to lock the adapter to effector.(The stock screws are too long)
Super glue or epoxy glue to glue the magnets to printed parts.
