That shouldn't be allowed to happen as long as your rod lengths are all identical forcing the joints to be parallel. That's why it's pretty...
Spherical rod ends M3 n M5 the 5MM ID rod ends. Misalignment spacer cad is here Onshape My latest effector design, that I'm pretty happy with...
I use PLA, impact resistant PLA, and PETG
Also here's a design I ended up not wanting to go with because the aluminum rod bent much more easily than I had thought it would. [IMG]
I've tested the joints on my experimental effector design at about 60lbs load per joint and the plastic printed part holds up without any issues,...
The biggest benefit from orientation probably comes from the wheel mount width, the narrower the wheels mount the more error in torsional...

@john, Mine is a combination of trial and error and a high steps/mm extruder. There have been a few people that have built my printer now and...
I haven't had the experience that magnetic joints do any better than rod ends. Most people make the mistake of not having a preload on their...
Brian, Thanks! I tossed some pics in a gallery real quick. https://goo.gl/photos/vQzHpMG1wdQYkDLd6
Brian, where did you get your metal tie rod ends? I've had good luck with my big delta over the last year, but my tie rod ends are starting to...
With a little nema 8 motor, a gt2 gear and a couple of pulleys you could easily make a retracting hotend dual extruder setup with the c-beam. It...
How's it all going? My big delta has been a workhorse for a while. I've worked on making some custom (printed) parts for it and everything has...
Here are the bigger vertices I made with openscad, they're nothing special, but have a lot more rigidity than the originals for tall printers....
If you have a jigsaw you can use some MDF or melamine board and cut out the Mendel90 frame and attach your parts to it and have a very rigid very...
I printed some at 60% and once all bolts are tightened down the printed part is still the major weak spot. If your printer isn't nearly as large...
I won't be back in the office til monday, but I can probably print 3 more out to send your way. My small printer is all I have for dimensionally...

I have 3 already printed that were too small for my bottom vertices. Where are you located?
I did a lot of calibration earlier, will have to do a little more once I get my hotend mount done, that's all that's left before I can do a first...
