PushPullFeeder tape height limit?

[Sufian Abu-Rab]

i have to use tactile switch buttons (TS-1187A-C-J-B) or electrolytical capacitors, which are 5mm+ in height. 

is it somehow possible to adjust the height for the tape, if yes, which parameters should i touch? thx in adv. 

or is there a tape height limit for the PushPullFeeder solution?

The tape size on Mark's PushPullFeeder design is limited by your printer overhang angle. The "inset" tape holder part is printed so that the right wall is on the printer build plate, and that means the left wall is an overhang. So it doesnt work with tall wide parts.

I have a fork of Mark's design which can split the inset into two separate parts, eliminating the need for any overhang. I regularly use this with 11mm can capacitors.

The default configuration of my fork uses a different mounting system, but that is optional and I expect the model can be reconfigured back to Mark's mounting scheme if you prefer that.

Hello, I've tried to make the pushPullFeeder running, but even the newest version is imho not reliable enough... is there maybe another mechanism than the idea of the bumper added? Best S.

The bumper cam mechanism in git is the best I've got, sorry.
