Description
A lightweight version of the Voron V0.1 Axis. I was inspired by Premiumbasics and his ultra light Axis. I wanted to try out what I can do by myself. I designed the axis in Fusion360
First Test:
What do you need:
I created an FEM analysis with a weight of 0.278g with an acceleration of 15k mm/s^2 what would result in a force of 4.2 N. In the FEM analysis I used a force of around 90 N, so the thing should keep up with specs of the voron v0.1. I maybe will design an even smaller and lighter version.
I used Inventor CAM to program the Datron Neo for cutting the aluminum.
The axis weight 24.1g add the end with a length of 200mm. The original part weight 55g, so I reduced the material about 44%. The weight of the original axis was.
Furthermore, I also made some adjustable spacers, because I made my rail 14.2 * 14.2 mm. I want to try to go even lower, but that's something for the future.
