Description
Chimera Cyclops Mag Effector
When it comes to precision on a Delta printer, nothing even comes close to Haydn Huntley's Magball arms. Making use of them, combined with the lightest leveling probe you can buy, it is designed to minimize the effector tilt by fitting the Ball-studs as low as possible to the printing plane.
This is by far the lightest and most compact Chimera / Cyclops effector you can find.
Aug 2021 Update V4.0 works beautifully after 17kg of filament printed. My Chimera is fitted with .4 and .6 nozzles and that makes life much easier.
Jan 2020 Update 4.0- New, highly efficient 360deg cooling ring. Other small improvements
Jan 2018 Update 3.1 - Increased the size of the cooling tubes (v3.1). They only work with v1.1 effector
In the past I've used an E3d V6 with this effector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2361081. Changing to Chimera it meant it couldn't be used with a Piezo probe.
This one has the same 64mm spacing and Magnetic arms but it's using a 50x15mm Blower and Escher's IR Differential Probe. From the blower the cooling air goes inside the effector before exiting the 11 ports arranged in a circle around the nozzles. That makes for a very light and compact effector.
On the other hand, you are losing 2cm next to the Z tower because the blower will touch the belt if you let it.
If you are Europe based you can buy both the IR Probe and Haydn Huntley's Magball Arms from https://www.duet3d.com/
Pictures are self-explanatory but keep in mind...
Printed at 200u and at least 80% infill, no supports needed.
Fit first the Ball-studs then in order the:
---- Always run the blower at 15% speed when the heaters are on ------
