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:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbjiXFEyg_E
