It is a proof of concept of a kind of printable spring. Initially I designed it for using in my Prusa Mendel, because the z axis springs were very difficult to find for me. Then I generalized the idea and parameterized the spring.
These springs conceptually consist of a strip of plastic that is bended. The outer cross section of the spring can be square, hexagonal or octogonal.
The spring parameters are:
- fid (fold inner diameter)
- folds: Number of folds
- th: strip thickness
- Drill: Drill diameter
- Diameter of the outer cross section
Here there is a video of the proof of concept:
