Hello, I’m very happy and excited to have discovered this impressive project.
I am currently using the source scad files of Delta Stage from gitlab and hoping to learn to do some custom design.
However, I noticed that the main structure does not have the outer shell. Could you please let me know where the issue might be?
The Delta Stage underlying SCAD is not particularly cleanly defined at present, and does seem to error like that quite often. It is not just missing walls, the actuator at the back of your image is not released from the shell. If I try to build it, it does the same.
Sometimes these effects can be from caching in OpenSCAD. I have tried to build the Delta Stage body locally a couple of times, but I have not reliably succeeded. There is a thread on the Forum where another user has modified the Delta Stage, they may be able to help.
Do you need the delta geometry for your application? The cartesian Microscope has a much more robust SCAD codebase, and many improvements in the structure. Custom design based on that will be much easier.
Edit: This could be a solution Delta Stage main body Printing issue - #22 by samuelmcdermott
@ffesti is actually working on some improvements just now Update OFM submodule to v7.0.0-beta4 (!20) · Merge requests · OpenFlexure / OpenFlexure Delta Stage · GitLab
From that MR: " I am actually able to get the delta stage build in the GUI with F6 most of the time. Don’t anyone touch F5 though."
I have tested in the OpenSCAD GUI. If you already have a preview you need to flush the cache. This is in the Design menu under Flush Caches . Then F6 will render correctly.
Hi, thanks a lot for help, without F5, only F6 and flush cache works!
I have built an hommade confocus laser scanning microscopy with traditional optical mudule, which is not small-size and less stable. And, may be delta stage is a good choice.
By using delta stage, objective lens is fixed which may keep fixed position with galvanometer.
