Always love you work and videos. Hi just an idea. To maintain some tension could you put a small spring bar or elastic inline with you wire/rope. It’s going to be very hard to a tension and be keep the tension on without some form of elasticity or auto tensioning system.
as I've been watching this series, I have been puzzled why you elected to use wire rather than high-test monofilament fishing line. also, if it is not too late at this date: a tensioning roller would help
You are very talented. Enjoy watching/listening to your problem solving steps to refine your design. I'm curious why to don't use heavy fishing line instead of the magnet wire? Any advice for the first time purchase of a 3D printer?
I was looking for a professional application of ball chain transmission but it seems like you're the only person I could find using this fantastic idea. I think the best way to prevent the chain from slipping is to add little curved tunnels at either side that allow the chain to smoothly transition between the 3 directions it needs to move in. I really can't see any way you could accomplish what you have with bicycle chain, your work is inspiring.
This is a really cool project. Watching part 5 I suspected you were going to have a tension issue on that ball chain drive. But I love the idea of driving the ball chain this never would have occurred to me and might be useful in my engineering design classes as a low cost alternative to other drive systems. Not sure how you addressed it as I have not watched beyond this part yet but if you had completely encapsulated the balls by making a multi piece horn assembly, That would have at least eliminated the slipping. The other concern I had is that no matter how much you tighten it, if there is any stretch in the wire you would be right back to slipping again. I don't think you had enough space to tension it with an idler of some sort but on to the next video to see how you tackled these issues.
Anyone who owns a delta printer is cool in my book!

Wow,I love your Octo- videos ❣Is there a way to get the stl files? I‘ starting with 3d printing…and struggling with the constructing🤘🤪
When those motors are moving not in sync, that thing is going to be... sensual.
just wait til i add the lights :)
so cool!
Hey! I love your stuff! But i wish you’d make longer videos.
You are awesome!
interesting...
Super cool, thanks for sharing Barb!

What bead joining tools do you use? Awesome design!!!!
Coming along nicely! Can't wait to see this when it's all done :)
Same
God youre so cool😭 this looks so fun
Awesome progress, Barb!
love the new out-chat.
