Motor resize doesn't seem right...

Open NigelThorne opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

I have a bunch of NEMA 23 style motors that I was give... so I was trying to adjust the plans to with with those.

I replaced all calls to nema_motor_...(17) with nema_motor_...(23), which seems to have increased the space available to account for the bigger motors... however z_base_parts.stl the legs intersect the motor housing... image

Is there something else I need to do? Or do I need to make changes in the plans to allow this change? Cheers Nigel BTW... what a great idea for a project... Nice work! Well done for sharing what you have.

Might just throw a difference() in there with nema cube

:) I fixed this part... I'll raise a pull request... but other parts also need adjusting...

I think it will take widening a bunch of pieces... and maybe the motors will be to heavy... I plan to look into it.

Looks like you need to increase the rail_height in config.scad so that the motor fits in the X/Y motor segments.

Only two motors should matter for weight, as the Y and extruder motors are the only ones that move.
