COssel
Release status: experimental
Contents
Overview
cOssel is an iteration of Johann's Kossel. Design intents are equip a dual head end effector and to move the linear rails to an open design. It will also convert from 15x15 to 20x20. All other tweaks are minor. This design otherwise entirely copies Johann's delta-bot intent.
Non-contact Autoleveling
cOssel attempts to enable a low-power, non-contact autoleveling sensor as an alternative to using a retractable mechanical switch as used in other Rostock/Kossel deltas.
Assembly
The assembly process should take a short weekend to complete. Make sure that you have a standard tool set, including ball-end metric allen keys.
Main Vertical Assembly
End Stops
The following images show the terminal block on the board. I ended up removing the terminal blocks from the boards to reduce interference from the carriage assembly as it approached the Z_MAX home position.

- Place the rod end socket loosely over the ball end ball.
