This is version 2 of my upgraded G2s (version 1 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2020086) - basically a full overhaul of everything but the top/bottom plates and the linear rods. It is a continuation of trying to make my G2s the best it can be (not really a G2s anymore at this point i guess!).
Quick summary of upgrades:
1. Custom Carriages.
2. Magnetic Arms.
3. Custom Effector.
4. E3D Cyclops 2in-1out Hotend - or - E3D v6
5. Part Cooling Fan.
6. Greg’s Wade Geared Extruders.
7. Optical Endstops.
8. Duet Wifi electronics.
9. 7” PanelDue interface.
10. Increased usable print diameter and height (Ø200mm x 210mm height).
Issues with the G2s:
1. Motion slop
a. Delta arms have play and design limits ability to accurately calibrate length.
b. 2 bearing carriages have excessive play and torque from the arms causes them to pitch up, having significant influence on the end effector.
c. Design of the stock end effector has the effector center of mass below the rod link l
