that and also i would like to do an experimental design as well: http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?177,767087,770804#msg-770804 the idea is to have a double pulley arrangement which will provide balanced forces acting as far apart as possible, but also with a 4x multiplier on the force thanks to the twin pulleys. also i plan to use double rods rather than single because double rods will turn any "twisting" (rotation) of the rods into a side-loading force against the linear rails. the further apart the rods are the more effective the leverage preventing "twisting", but they can't be too far apart else the carriage has to be too big, and also the rods have to be much longer... ... i was thinking of starting with a distance of 70mm between rod centres and seeing how that goes. should mean i can use 300mm rods. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
