Hi Sam. Build it smaller, so it is more compact and rigid. And that shouldn't be exactly hexapod, there's a lot of other nice machines. LCNC: homing is tricky but possible, joints and axes mixed up completely, together with limits. You set limits for joints they act for cartesian space etc. Velocities too. Actually that is not a big deal, just need to figure it out.

That's very impressive. ja_3 will be the answer eventually, I think, but there is a lot of other stuff to sort out too. If you report specific faults with ja_3 then they might get fixed.

Thanks, Andy! I used ja_3 a long time ago, I can't remember what exactly was wrong. Another parallel machine is being built, I'll definitely try ja_3 and report the problems.

This is awesome. Can you please pleaseee share what kind of processor board you used and the software you got to interpret gcode to delta geometry? on 5 axis. This is quite impressive. Would you say you could use only 3 arm rods? instead of 6?

Of course all limits can be calculated in kinematics and work through HAL pin(s). That's more complicated, so just so just сalculate the workspace and do not leave it. I also tried joints_axes3 branch which is supposed to solve that, but it was half-baked and faulty. Alighning and calibrating is the trickies part, it involves measurements and math. For a small workspace you can align manually with a level, or you can measure the exact joints positions and struts lenghts.

I used LinuxCNC to control the machine. It supports kinematic transformations, whatever you program.

Hi, thans. No plans unfortunately. But I'm going to put Parasolid model on my blog.

That is awesome. I want to build a hexapod some day. How hard was it to align the machine for square and perpendicular? (how does one align such a machine) Also - what issues do you run into with linuxcnc and non-trivial machines? I know you can run into joint constraint issues.

The Ultimate milling machine! I understand EMC2 takes care of the CNC but what did you use for the tool path creation? Is there something like Mastercam for hexapods? Once again, you did an amazing job!

Thanks! The machine is not much different from any other 5-axis mills, it has XYZAB axes. Actually any 5-axis capable CAM software with LinuxCNC postprocessor for XYZAB mill can do the job. I had not found such post back then, and had to write the program myself.

Mola un monton muy chulo.Mola a very cool bunch.

Did you ever try to make metal parts with it?

I milled aluminium. Not quite HSM, but OK. The total stiffness completely depends on used components and design. Stiffness of X/Y axes is nearly equal to the stiffness of one strut.

frickin' awesome!

This is great, I'd love to see some more videos of this working. Perhaps you can do a simple build and control guide?

Hello this is awasome! Could you tell me what type of motors you are using ??

I'm researching CNC designs for a project I'll start soon. Would you say this sort of machine would be rigid enough to mill aluminum?

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , over 30 years experience , robot arm gear reducer,

the best delta cnc i ve seen !!! what software are you using my friend?

hello, is there somewhere i can find plans or instructions for this? want to do one. It´s impressive.

wow superb !

Like to see milling Inconel 712

That is amazing! Did you write your own control program? Details Details! lol

!!!!awesome

thanks

In which soft do you make G-code

Hola, que soft usas?

Witchcraft!

Hi, I've emailed you.
