Visit PCBWay, the sponsor of my lightweight project: https://pcbway.com/g/8EZP2R Lightweight beams for 3D printers are all the rage in the enthusiast DIY scene. There are commercial offers from various sources like 3DO, Fabreeko, Funssor and others. DIY tinkerers are also working on their own approaches for various printers, because these are fun projects and they promise fast printing! IWe check out CNC milled aluminium variants and a self-made carbon fiber beam which will compare to the default. My own design, the hyper lightweight beam aka HyperBeam at only 8g will also compete in the test plan! I’ll show you the tests and results for quality acceleration with Input Shaping, maximum acceleration and I performed stress and a print test in order to support my statement: You don’t need them, but you’d might to want them anyways!
