Ideas to improve 3d printer (Counterweight):
- Use Mesh design for end effector to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Enhance material availability:
- Reduce Parts: End effector has helicopter style top to suspend instead of metal bars
- Reduce cost-printer: Mesh design for all 3d printed parts and structures to use less material
- Reduce cost-material: Inject with gas to expand volume(more surface area for less plastic)
- Easier to assemble : attach helium balloons to top so cannot drop and easier to maneuver to fix/build
- Easier to maintain :
- Make fully assembled products:
- Use carbon fiber frame to decrease weight.
- Use lighter motors to decrease weight.
- Add flat steel plate to base to decrease vibration somewhat.
- Modify end effector to only mount the hot end (alternative material to take care of heat)
