Rhombot
This page is a development stub. Please enhance this page by adding information, cad files, nice big images, and well structured data!

- The rhombus linkages are vaguely similar to the Sarrus Z02 -- can we start from there as a rough draft, or must we start from scratch?
- Probably from scratch. The constraints are different in the two cases, which leads to different designs.
- There has been a brief discussion[1] of a similar parallel Cartesian drive train.[2].
- That robot has some similarities, but it requires 3 sets of rails, so either all 3 motors move, or there are 3 belts. In the Rhombot, there are no rails, belts, or moving motors.
- Eliminating rails is a big step towards a fully printable reprap
