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.

Rod Ends

  1. Place the rod end ball standing vertically on a stable surface.
  2. Place the rod end socket loosely over the ball end ball.
  3. Space a pair of needle nose pliers around the perimeter of the socket.
  4. Press firmly down and click the socket over the ball.
