This flying extruder mounting arms are designed for Micromake and FLsun's Delta 3d printers. It should work with other Delta printer with similar rollers design and dimensions that uses M5 screws as long as the threads are long enough to secure the arms.

Version 2 @ 17 June 2016:
I've changed the design a little to solve some issues that i faced. Also now there are 2 versions, Versatile and Micromake. versatile is suppose to work for both FLsun and Micromake but the screw hole is slightly weaker, becareful not to tighten it too much. 

I've also included the mount for your exturder which is inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1259941 which moves the stepper motor close to the center and give you more clearance to fit the exturder parts.

This is designed to stiffen and stabilize the CoreXY idle bearings shafts in order to stop them from slightly tilted when you tighten belts in order to get the maximum print quality from the machine. 

**Printing**
You want to print this with PLA (stiffer) with at least 4 shells at the default orientation (laying sideway) to give them the maximum strength. 

**Modifications**
STEP file is provided.

 This is my take on e3d v6 heater block sleeve/sock. My very first attempt with casting silicone and very first 3d printed mould that I've designed by myself. I do realize that there are a few existing models on Thingiverse, I decided to make one myself as a challenge for both casting silicone and designing a mould in Fusion 360. It is also much cheaper (in the long run) and much more interesting to create your own silicone sleeves.

 It is compatible with the older version of genuine e3d v6 or majority of the e3d v6 clone commonly sold on Aliexpress. 

 I will occasionally share my creations and 3d printing reviews on [my youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfk3thtqI3x24T2vp9qiMew?view_as=subscriber) if you are interested in my contents/creations you are welcome to subscribe to my channel.

 Pouring instructions:
1. clean up and post-process your the 3d printed parts a little with sandpaper or file.
2. use a rubber band to secure the side wall. There are a top and bottom side, make sure the wall is oriented correctly. 
3. prepare your high-temperature resistance silicone accordingly. 
4. OPTIONAL: degas the silicone (if you have a vacuum chamber) 
5. pour the silicone until about 1/3 full of the mould.
6. insert the dummy 3d printed heater block
7. push the dummy 3d printed heater block into the proper slots
8. pour some more silicone until the block is completely covered.
9. close the lid firmly
10. wait for it to dry.

Follow the picture on how to assemble, it is pretty straight forward.

Just use some 12mm M4 screws to hold them together.

**Disclaimers**
- I am yet to test it out myself.
- This is highly experimental. Try at your own risks 

As of the time of writing, It serves as an alignment tool to (re)assemble your Kossel Mini corner brackets/frames. Cheap Chinese Kossel Mini kits usually come with 2020 extrusions with poor cut tolerances resulting in slightly different length for the sides of the triangles. Resulting non-equilateral triangles if you try to force them together with the corner brackets without a jig or guide. Ultimately, affecting the accuracy of your effector's movements. 

The idea is by using a 3d printed "jig" in order to make sure all of the triangles are equilateral and equal in size and length so that your effector could print/travel under minimum distortions as the result of angled towers and twisted frames. 

**How to print**
- Measure the length from A to B (as shown in the picture) 
- Repeat the measurements 6~9 times on all sides of the triangles (including the top and bottom) 
- Find the largest value of all the measurements, call it *K*
- Scale the length (z) of the 2020 extrusion with T minus 6mm. 
- print the 2020 extrusion or order a custom length 2020 extrusion from your local shop or [Aliexpress](https://goo.gl/LfmfcC) 
- Print the extrusion mounting bracket, make sure the tolerances are good enough to fit the 2020 extrusion. 

**How to use**
- You will need to disassemble most of the frame, leaving the triangles intact.
- Install the mount with M4 t-slot or square nut and an M4x8mm screw. 
- Loosen up the screws that are holding the corner brackets in place so that you have room for adjustment.
-  now install the 2020 extrusion onto the mounting bracket, since the triangle frame is already loosened up, you should be able to adjust the A-B distance, now make sure the A-B distance equals to K
- once you did that, tighten up the corner bracket that the 2020 extrusion is pointing.
- repeat the steps above on all 3 sides of the triangle.
- repeat the steps above on all the triangles (usually just top and bottom)
- now you should be a properly aligned frame!

P/S: it should work with just about any delta that shares the same Kossel corner brackets. You just have to make sure the mounting bracket is centred and scale the Z axis of printed 2020 "extrusion" according to the largest distance you measured for your frame.

Low-profile Screen Bezel for the Gecko! Designed to cover the exposed guts of the touch screen.

There are 2 designs and a spacer, a more rectangular version and a sharper version with deeper chamfers. The models should have sufficient tolerances (0.6mm for the most parts) to have a good fit on the front panel and screen.

The spacer is designed to reduce the play on the screen, you are supposed to glue the spacer at the right side of the bezel so that it pushes the right side of the screen to reduce/eliminate the play when you are interacting with the touch screen.

This is something that I quickly hacked together in Fusion 360.

It will take up some space at the Y axis. you will need to adjust your max Y value in your firmware to about 270mm depending on your setup.

You will need a 24v dc 5015 blower fan, you can [get one here](https://goo.gl/4sydfz).

The idea is, to provide a modular platform to mount objects on the 2020 Aluminium profile without disassembling the original structure.

Materials needed:
- M3 12mm screws x 6
- M3 20mm screws x 2
- M3 nuts x8

Print recommendations:
- use ABS since it provides better flexibility 
- I've printed them on with 10% infill, 3 layers wall and 0.32 mm layer thickness.
- You need to print the 4 copies of the brackets and 1 copy of the mount surface adapter
- sand the rails slightly until you're able slide them with little efforts but still provide good grips between the rails.

Assembly & Mounting recommendations:
- install the mounting surface adapter
- install the nuts and screws, do not tighten the screws.
- put the brackets on the profile and slide them into each others
- tighten the screw just enough to secure the brackets (over tightening will break the brackets).
- if the mounting surface is not suitable for you, you can easily make your own adapter by aligning the 2 screw holes.

This model is designed to make the missing steps issues on drv8825 stepper drivers more observable. If you're noticing weird artifacts on your print and your printer is using drv8825 stepper drivers, chances are your printer is affected by the issue.

More details can be found here: https://cabristor.blogspot.my/2015/02/drv8825-missing-steps.html

I've "fixed" the issues by installing TL-Smoother,  If you want to buy the ready-made diode boards that I've explained in the video/pictures, Link to buy TL-Smoother -  https://goo.gl/MLxAy0 (updated: set of 4)

**\#SomeRandomThoughts**
This is probably the first torture test designed to make the print looks bad. if your print looks bad, my design served it's purpose :P

The collet locks that came with the Prometheus System didn't work well for me. I had lost a couple of those because they weren't secure enough, they are wiggly and easily push out from the collets. 

These are the improved design that is slightly thicker 1.3mm instead of 1,2mm so there will be no wiggle. The design also includes larger arcs at the opening so that once it is correctly installed, it will hold onto the collet. 

*Printing*
You need to print this in Nylon for durability and flexibility. Print it with 0.1mm layer height in order to get 1.3mm layer height. 

*Installation*
Just force it onto the collet. Use a pair of sharp nose pliers or tweezers to force it to lock onto the collet properly.

The mounts are designed to raised the heated bed from the base for 12mm in order to have a little distance between the stepper motors and the electronics underneath the bed.

My original design uses only M3 screws which is not ideal for mounting on the 2020 aluminum rail. The new design uses M4 screws, so that you can easily slot a M4 square nut into 2020 the aluminum rail in order mount the base. The new design also come with an embedded M3 nut so that the thread for the clip will hardly loses it grip even after a lot of taking off and putting on. The base also uses a single screw so that the angle can be easily adjusted for tighter fit. You probably able tight fit the bed without the clips if you wish to maximize the print area.

3 sets are the minimum, you can use up to 6 sets for even more secure mounting.

*Materials for each set*
- M4 x10MM x1
- M4 square nut x1
- M3 x 8MM (up to 12mm) x1
- M3 hex nut x1

*How to embed the M3 nuts*
The base is designed to be printed as 2 process. you want to manually edit the gcode of your slicer generated to pause at 12mm so that you can embed the M3 nut into the print. 

*How to install*
1. Slides the M4 nut into the 2020 rail slot.
2. Screw and align the base to the M4 nut with the M4 screw, do not tighten yet . 
3. Dry fit and adjust the bases according to the bed.
4. Tighten the M4 screws when you find the correct alignments
5. Install the clips by using the M3 screws.

Standard Kossel corner piece comes with an adjustable belt tensioning mechanism. However, it is not ideal as you tension the belt you will also forcing the upper frame and towers to bend out of shape. I designed this to address the problem. 

**BOM**
M4x25 screws x6 (2 for each corner/tower)
M4x8 screws x12 (4 for each corner/tower)
M4 square nut x6 (2 for each corner/tower)
M4 tslot nuts x12  (4 for each corner/tower)

The idea is to make minimum changes to the machine but still takes the overall experience a step further.I think the majority of the noise is coming from the fan grill. Basically, I just repositioned the original cooling fan, and 40mm is quite commonly available if you desire to use a quieter fan.

On top of existing screws and nuts, you still need,
M3 T nuts - 2
M3x14mm screws - 2
M3x8mm screws - 2
M3 washer (optional) - 2
rubber/silicone rings to soft mount the fan (optional) - 2
