Titanium Extrusion Backers for Salad Fork 160mm - by Lightweight Labware

Titanium gantry extrusion backers for the Salad Fork 160mm build. These Lightweight Labware plates are sized for the 1515-extrusion Salad Fork and are based on whoppingpochard's open-source extrusion-backer design for counteracting gantry bow from rail/extrusion thermal expansion.

Why use titanium backers?

• Extrusion backers mount opposite the linear rails so the gantry is less prone to bimetal-style movement as the printer warms up.
• The original Voron mod documents titanium backers as a lighter, high-performance alternative to steel backer plates.
• Useful on compact enclosed machines where a small mesh shift can matter more than it looks on paper.

Specifications

• Machine fit: Salad Fork 160mm, a Printers for Ants printer based on a scaled-down Voron Trident using 1515 aluminum extrusion.
