The Toro-Tube is an extremely lightweight gantry that allows you to significantly reduce the moving mass of your printer. It is compatible with both MGN9 and MGN12 rails and comes in black. It has M3 threads on all four sides. If the mass reduction provides any benefits for your printer, depends on your setup. Potential improvements as a result from the reduction of moving mass could be:
Comparison with aluminium extrusion
| 622mm | 522mm | 422mm | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 Extrusion | 311g | 261g | 211g |
| Toro-Tube | 68g | 58g | 47g |
| Weight saving | 243g (78%) | 203g (78%) | 164g (78%) |
Due to the constant optimization of the manufacturing process the weight of the shipped tubes might be slightly higher or lower than the values stated above.
