[NSRCA-discussion] CF End Grain sheet for Servo/Battery tray?

Tue Jan 26 13:08:15 AKST 2016

Yeah, but the cool thing about 3D printed ABS is you can make it a lot stronger and more durable with an acetone treatment.  The trick is to design it with the right support and then treat it to effectively remove the layering.  I’ve been designing parts for racing quad copters for almost a year now and I’m pretty sure I can make strong, lightweight parts  for these types of uses.

He was talking about servo trays, but I agree, very brittle, layer joints aren't often very strong

I would test that thoroughly before committing to a critical part like a battery tray. Most 3D printed parts have limited strength due materials as well as the "grain" created in the printing process. Use them a lot for prototyping at work but they rarely last.

Now that I have a 3D printer, I’m gonna try printing my servo trays in my next build.  Should be an easy part to design and pretty strong.

I have been using trays made from 1/8" 5-ply plywood, with 6mm carbon fiber tubes down the sides.

I like 1/8" fiberglass end grain balsa sheet. Still pretty light and strong and probably cheaper than the carbon fiber equivalent.

What are you using for Servo/Battery trays and where is the best source?
