Nimble Gimbal For 2020 Delta Frame by quadcells

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I saw slonold's Nimble Gimbal and liked the Idea. slonold did a great job on his design. I needed to modify it for my application.
I needed to make the arms wider at the bottom so it would mount on a 2020 aluminum
extrusion beam.
I want to use M4 bolts to attach the arms to the 2020 beam so I increased the M3 holes
to M4. (A little over kill)
I have a dozen 624 bearings and wanted to utilize them. I increased the size of the
bearing housing to accommodate the 13mm x 5mm bearing size of the 624's.
Also used four bearings instead of the two in the original design. (A little over kill)
Needed supplies:
Print one set of arms and one extruder_mount_bracket.
6 M4 x 16mm bolts, 4 for the arms to bolt to the 2020 beam and 2 for the bearings.
4 M4 x 20mm bolts for mounting the Zesty Extruder Motor mount to the gimbal bracket.
18 M4 flat washers (8 for the 4 bolts to mount the Zesty Motor mount to the gimbal bracket
(optional), 4 for the M4 bolts that mount the arms to the 2020 beam (optional) and 6 for
the M4 bolts that make up the two bearing assemblies).
6 M4 nylon lock nuts, 4 for the Zesty motor mount to gimbal bracket and 2 for the arms to
gimbal bracket.
4 M4 'T' nuts for the M4 bolts the attach the arms to the 2020 beam.
4 624 size bearings.
Assembly Instructions:
Assemble the bearings first by using 1 M4 x 16mm bolt, 3 M4 washers and 1 nylon lock nut. Slide 1 M4 washer onto the bolt followed by a 624 bearing, then another M4 washer followed by a 2nd 624 bearing. Then slide the third M4 washer and lastly the nylon lock nut. Now tighten the bearing assembly. Make one more assembly.
Take 1 bearing assembly and insert it into the bearing housing on the motor bracket button head first. Do the same for the other bearing assembly.
