On my Mini Kossel a...That's a great question! <br /><br />On my Mini Kossel and Kossel 250 printers I position these on the base horizontals in the middle - so they are on the opposite side of a tower. Here is a photo of an earlier version of the mounts on a Mini Kossel so you can get the idea: http://mhackney.zenfolio.com/p696832041/hfde2809#hfde2809<br /><br />On my Rostock Max I used existing holes in the melamine snowflake insulator. These are actually 30° from the towers, here's a photo: http://mhackney.zenfolio.com/p694116148/h23399ca8#h23399ca8<br /><br />If things are setup well, it shouldn't make any difference where the FSRs are located. Although I do prefer to have a probe point right on the FSRs. On the Rostock Max, I do not but it seems to calibrate better than the other machines, so go figure!<br /><br />The bed must be constrained so it can not move in the X-Y plane. It isn't sufficient to just sit it on the silicone pads. On the Rostock, the plunger part is screwed to the bottom of the melamine snowflake so the bed can not move. <br /><br />On the Kossel 250 I use a little clip to position the glass. It also keeps the bed from lifting (note that the little tongue int he photo does not touch the top of the bed): http://mhackney.zenfolio.com/img/s6/v142/p1644964468-4.jpg<br /><br />I have not published the version with the little clip yet, that's coming soon.<br /><br />On a new K250 I'm experimenting with a dab of silicone to hold the bed on! I think it will work great as I did that on my TAZ 4 printer and it has a moving Y. Basically, adhere the FSR to the printed mount. Adhere the silicone pad to the FSR (there is adhesive on the UltiBot pads) and then put a spot of silicone on top of the pads and lower your bed assembly on them. Press a bit to seat and let cure. The only drawback is that it means re-siliconing if you need to remove the bed for some reason. I've thought about using a locator pin arrangement so the bed could separate easily but so far this has not been an issue.<br /><br />SublimeLayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266175443539080935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024848558336119865.post-33995979650546379322016-02-20T15:18:24.694-05:002016-02-20T15:18:24.694-05:00Hey Mike,

Things like do you position them in the 3 axes, or do you place them opposite the towers? Is the bed only attached to the rest of the printer via the 3 silicon pads?<br /><br />Thanks!timonemycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520852979811165679noreply@blogger.com
