CNC Trident AWD

Design Journey and Acknowledgements

The development of the Trident AWD has been an exciting journey, driven by the collaborative efforts of SIBOOR and the brilliant designer, Shen Lin. While SIBOOR provided the improvement requirements, Shen Lin's innovative design brought these ideas to fruition.

Design Highlights:

1. Based on VORON TRIDENT Platform: Our AWD design builds on the VORON TRIDENT framework, featuring a redesigned idler assembly for the XY joints to perfectly match the 2MGT 9MM synchronous belt. This adjustment enhances the stability and precision of the drive system.

2. Enhanced Y Limit Slot: We have added a fixed slot for the Y axis limit switch, which improves the overall stability and reliability by providing a more secure mounting for the Y axis limit.

3. Use of F695+695 Bearings: The design incorporates F695 and 695 bearings throughout, simplifying assembly and improving maintenance ease.

4. Extended Space Optimization: The XY joints have been redesigned to provide approximately 15mm of additional space for the Y axis. This enhancement facilitates the expansion of the filament waste bin and the placement of the nozzle brush.

5. Hollowed XY Joints: The XY joints feature a topology-optimized hollow design that reduces weight while enhancing aesthetics.

6. X Carriage ：The X Carriage supports easy switching between the standard ST model and the extended UHF version. Its hollow design reduces weight, enhances the overall aesthetics, and improves heat dissipation for better performance.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the original AWD design team, including aTinyShellScript and DoubleT. Their pioneering work provided the valuable foundation upon which Shen Lin's design improvements were built.

Our thanks also go to Shen Lin for his exceptional creativity and expertise. His innovative design has made the improvements possible. We are grateful to the open-source community for its spirit of collaboration and contribution, which continues to drive our progress.
