Ideas to improve 3d printer (Counterweight):
- Use Mesh design for end effector to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Enhance material availability: Make structures out of particle board to reduce weight and use any available wood
- 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
- 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)
- Add vibration reducers (similar to hunting bows) to lower rod vibration and thus the rod can be made of a lighter material.
- Use smaller motors to decrease weight.
- Use less robust board to decrease weight slightly.
- Use a combination stepper driver and computer to decrease overall weight (combine melzi and BBBlack)
- Use microphones to detect mechanical click to reduce wiring to leveling switches.
- Combine heated bed with the frame to reduce weight.
- Add heating to the whole frame to omit heated bed somehow (circuitry needs to be modified).
- Combine frame with vertical beams to reduce weight - or omit vertical columns entirely like on some cartesian printers.
- Extrude with a through-the-center stepper to decrease parts used in extrusion.
- Omit top doughnut entirely - vibration introduced but weight decreased.
- Use carbon fiber rods instead of aluminum to decrease weight.
- Combine extruder and hot end into a plastic pushing monster to decrease metal and mechanical parts - momentum is increased and accuracy falls.
- Use more snap-together parts to decrease bolts and nuts - less metal, less weight (slightly).
- Print with a smaller extruder motor to decrease weight.
- Use shorter linear bearings to slightly decrease weight.
- Less infill for parts that don't need it
- Different infill: lighter, stronger infill material
- Use different material for structure of printer: some sort of light, hollow, plastic tubing
- Change guide rods to carbon fiber
- Printed parts of printer with less infill
- Make everything out of carbon fiber
- Drill holes in support material
- Print with lighter material
- Plastic hardware
- Build a smaller printer
- Print a smaller part, sections if needed
- Use less bed adhesion (glue) or use blue painters tape
