Delta Robot update, Jan 2014

When I get advice I don’t ignore it and I don’t argue about it. If you take the time to help me, I take the time to listen. Back in October a customer has some very good (tho unflattering) feedback. The two big issues were the quality of the servos and the quality of the 3D printing. In the time since then I’ve worked on the issues from several directions:

1. I ceased making the older model delta robot.
2. I’m redesigning the delta robot to have zero 3d printed parts. If I use plastic parts in the future kits they’ll probably be cast or injection molded.
3. I’ve made great strides to improve my 3D printers. I only use them for prototyping. If you need something printed, I’d be happy to help.
4. I’ve removed the servos from the delta robots and switched to stepper motors. I have the steppers and electronics in stock as part of the rotary stewart platforms, anyways. Having a single board for all my kits makes developing software a lot easier, which means more features for you faster.

When the new model is released I will put the previous design on thingiverse. The new model will have complete step by step assembly guides on learn.marginallyclever.com.

I’m truly grateful that you believe in my work and I want to find more ways to show my thanks to you. Let me know what I can do.
