[Idea?] Can a Scara bot print 2 or more identical parts at the same time?

Just a quick 1am thought, If you were to add another set of arms, to the same controlled central rotating pipes but 180deg out of phase on a morgan, you could then have another bed, hotend etc. The...

That is a great idea! The Morgan would need the rails moved appart to each side of the pulleys so you can use the two for both sides. The frame would need to be reworked but it can be done. I was...

yes, its very good idea. i like polar bots a lot, but from engeneering pow it would be much easier to set up relular cartesian machine with wider X axis and 3-4-5 extruders on it. you can try put...

There is no theoretical limit to how many you can have with the same z. In reality, I think 3 is about all you want to do. The secret is to make the secondary arms short enough so they will almost...

I can't leave this alone. I did this as a joke but I think it has value. I am officially crazy. YOUTUBE CANDY!

I think the difficulty will come from sharing the same Z axis. There will be differences in the hot end heights and arm variations in the Z heights over the bed area. With just one Arm, the bed and...

Each bed on 4 springs would make for quick calibration.

have a homing feature similar to a kossel but move each bed's z axis independently until hitting a homing switch attached to each extruder head.

Re: [Idea?] Can a Scara bot print 2 or more identical parts at the same time?

I am actively developing this. I am going with a single motor for the z and a single motor for the filament drives. Here is the plan. The z will pull all up at one. Each side will have a spring loaded...

Why so complecated? You can print out a dozen parts at the same time if you use a plate with a dozen extruders all in one head.with the appropriate distance to each other. You find those multi heads...

Ah, but you need expensive linear rails for that.

Ok, crazy idea time - what if the multi-Morgan had one station with a fixed platform (not attached to the Z mechanism like the rest), and an optical mouse sensor instead of a hot end? With a printed...

Re: [Idea?] Can a Scara bot print 2 or more identical parts at the same time?

I am sure that can be done. I am sure you can feel the however coming. There are a lot of things that you would have to pioneer. For me, I just slap two steppers on the XY and get perfect placement...

One QuadMorgan will exist. I suspect that it won't be that bad to operate based on my previous experience. I am building a bot farm but I am not so crazy to think that this will be the best solution....

The independent moving beds seems like an over complication of a simple problem. In essence you want to increase the distance from extruder to bed, but by placing the motors closer to the top of the...

I don't have time to model any of this, but by replacing the inner rod with another tube and mounting the arms, tubes and motos on a "riser" that has a threaded hole in the center, the Z-Axis motor...
