Parallel Scara based on Morgan.

@o_lampe I see now thanks for pointing that out. I hope they are decent quality and good enough.
-
@Phospherus I'd wish you open it in a iFixit style and post some images to discuss the quality. Unfortunately - I completely understand it - you'll not want to do it because of the guarantee. But if it's damaged in the future, this would be valuable. They are out of stock and a bit too expensive to buy it just for testing.
-
@Phospherus It surprised me, that they took a short NEMA17 motor with low torque for it. I guess a full size motor would exceed the max. output torque of the harmonic drive.

First printing with the Scara looking good so far. No z endstop so set it with piece of paper and no heated bed as my PSU mount is printing so running off a 5 amp 24V power pack. Using a Bondtech BMG for bowden drive with a Phaetus BMO hotend. Link to youtube video below. This is my first time ever uploading to youtube so if it does not work I apologize and will fix it.

@o_lampe Video link should work now.

@Phospherus Looks good for a first print on a cold bed.
-
A couple pictures of the first print complete. I am amazed how good it came out without part cooling even.
-
Finally got a test set of arms printed and a mount for the Nema 17 harmonic drives. Here it is in action. https://youtube.com/shorts/bj47uQ08zV0?feature=share

@Phospherus It's always hard to qualify mechanics from a video. The first impression is good, no visible backlash or springiness.
Will be interesting to see it work, maybe with a feltpen for starters?
Would you use a direct drive extruder as toolhead or is it strictly Bowden-setup? How much does the head sag?
