Delta Sizer

I made a fully-parametrized sizing tool for delta-style printers. This takes frame dimensions (length and width of extrusions), and other basic geometric inputs (effector, rods, offsets for mounting motors, etc) and creates a 3d model of the frame, motion system and resultant work volume. Joints are pre-made to simulate the basic kinematics so you can grab the effector and drag it around the work volume.

How I Designed This

Fusion 360 for modeling, parameters and kinematics. Pencil and paper for the math required to size all the parts and limits.
