Summary

Remix of the bistable mechanism with much smaller frame so it prints faster and uses less filament. Fillets added to increase strength.

How I Designed This

I wanted to print a faster version of the bistable mechanism. With these changes the print time was reduced by 40% and the filament usage went from 33 grams to 16 grams.
