This design caters to individuals seeking an effortless, swift 3U cubeSat print from lightweight, efficient materials. Fused Deposition Modeling with robust Nylon is most effective. The cubeSat boasts enhanced reliability compared to alternatives; its solar panels feature stronger hinges than other models, reducing risk of deployment failure. Panels can automatically deploy without actuators post-launch, thanks to tensioning, with hinges locking against the main body for robust deployment. The housing uses stack technique, needing no fasteners or bolts. Ultimately, this is a straightforward, reliable design poised to become a 3D printing cubeSat standard.
