4: Removing the outer legs

Today I went to the shop and bought 4 plastic end stops.

My plan is to remove the three outer legs, I don't use them. Don't need that height and they are too weak also.

It's easy to remove the outer leg. The locking mechanism weight a lot.

Now it's just to put on the plastic stop.

Fits perfect!

After removing the outer legs and its locking mechanism it's much lighter.

From 2.2 to 1.7 kg.

Saved almost 0.5 kg and it's a little bit more stable.
