Default Re: 3D Printed D10T Build

Haha, not much of a secret! My first try at making the blade tilt didn't go great because I was using two actuators to "tip" the blade and that caused binding when "tilting". When I built the second conversion I didn't use any for tip but had learned from the first that one side of the blade must anchored to the C frame and the other side must "float". If both sides are held tight it will twist the $h!t out of everything and you won't get much tilt on the blade. I also switched from rubber bushings to spherical bushings where the C frame mounts to the track frames. This made a big difference as well as there is no resistance at all against twist. I went back and redid my own conversion and the blade tilt and tip works great now. Lot's of trial and error but we eventually get this stuff working sweet!
