How Springs are Sprung
The euclid Delta Arms come with some extension springs to help get rid of lash in the ball joints. I was fortunate enough to capture footage of them while they were being made! Check out the video below: (more…)

Optimizing End Effector Rigidity
In the early stages of the euclid design there was not a lot of information publicly available on how to optimize the kinematics of a delta robot. The Reprap community seemed to be focused on minimizing total cost, and weight, resulting in flimsy arm configurations and plastic u-joints – not really suitable for tasks other than 3D-printing with a light-weight hotend and remote extruder.
