<issues project="N-PickPlace" search="false" filter="false" />

Design overview

A pick and place machine to be used for prototypes, based on delta 3d printer design, and an effector specially designed for pick & place, in combination with openPNP software

• Key components:

• Off the shelf delta printer in kit form :
• Hollow shaft Nema-8 stepping motor :
• Juki pick place nozzle :
• Juki pp nozzle adapter to 5mm shaft :
• Endoscope camera :
• Custom design 240mm disk plate :
• Custom design effector :
• Marlin firmware :
• OpenPNP software :

• Variations:

• Minimum modifications, add-on to existing 3D printer
• Mini-Kossel Effector replacement
• Anycubic 3D printer Effector and 240mm plate

Adapter design for any 3D printer

• Add-on n-pickplace head with adapter to E3D heatsink

Replacing mini-Kossel effector

• n-pickPlace Mini Kossel effector replaces the standard effector

Anycubic effector

Anycubic n-pickPlace effector is larger than the usual mini-Kossel effector

Anycubic table

• 240mm n-pickPlace table for n-Blocks assembly

Repositories

Marlin configuration

configuration changed with reference to: Configuring Marlin 1.1

Configuration.h
#define CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME "n-PickPlace" //nikos
#define EXTRUDE_MINTEMP 10  //nikos   ] 
#define EXTRUDE_MAXLENGTH 20000 //nikos   
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE          { 500, 500, 500, 200 } // nikos was   { 200, 200, 200, 200 }

• Extrusion motor is used for component rotation

• Allow extrusion above 10 Degrees temperature so it can be used any time
• Remove maxLength extrusion limit by increasing it to 20000mm
