I have had problems removing the chains from the linkage. The cotter pins have to be replaced each time I do a new calibration with new software updates. Is there a better option to the split cotter pins?
Itās been posted to community garden. The svg file does not contain the toolpaths because, for whatever reason, I couldnāt save the svg with the toolpath added in makercam. So I included the gcode I used.

Thank you so much for the collaboration. Itās a great feeling to see an idea take effect. What files do we have up so far? @bee can you get these files ported over to desciples as the start of the open source file sharing as well.
can you take a picture of what you are using?
yes split pins are a bas idea.
also, you should start a new topic for a new problem

You should be able to use the cotter pins which came with the original kit, right?

I use the pins that came with the original kit, but Iāve never bent them. They stay perfectly in place with the frictionā¦ they wont slide out on their own.
