I'm messing around with an experimental cable 3d printer. tripodkins is basically the correct kinematics for it, but has a perceived flaw. It is designed as a point connection and doesn't compensate for the diameter of pulleys. So as the angle of each line gets closer to vertical, more cable gets wraps around the pulley.
So the combined effect I believe would be the line is shortened by the circumference of the pulley, and the attachment point moves outward. Anyone already done the math for this? -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
