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

[Atwood, Mark]

For me, the lightest, cheapest, strongest, and easiest to make servo tray has always been 1/8” balsa, laminated with 1/64” ply on both sides, with small 1/32” ply doublers where the servo screws go.  It’s 2 minutes to laminate a piece of balsa with thick CA and hand pressure.   never splits, easy to cut and shape, torsionally strong and stable, extremely light and very very inexpensive.

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?
