It’s fascinating isn’t it?
And you’ve got Tap. And then this…. Which is a work in progress but uses the actual flexture of the printed tool head mount and is adjustable via screws.
So many clever mechanical design concepts
Comment on Those that design: Who do you follow and what sources do you like for mechanical design inspiration?
IMALlama@lemmy.world 8 months agoKicky is a rabbit hole in iterative designs on the same idea. There’s also NGKlicky (no glue). Not to mention all the variations on door hinges, bed fans, filters…
The stock Voron designs also have tons of little quirks in them, like built in bridges for things with circular holes in them, to trick slicers into not printing in mid-air, that I’ve adopted into my own designs.

I have been using a Precusion Piezo Orion probe for over 5 years now and it’s great. Also relies on parts flexing.

Also funny, the klicky itself is based on the work done leading into the quickdraw probes from Annex Engineering, the rabbit hole just gets deeper.
