The nano satellite industry has transitioned to low-cost development, driven by private companies and research organizations in the NewSpace era. Can-Satellite offers a budget-friendly alternative to traditional cube satellite manufacturing and testing. This study focuses on enhancing the reliability of small satellite designs by analyzing the vibration stability of PLA plates, the primary structure of a Can-Satellite, produced through Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing. Quasi-static, modal, and random vibration analyses were conducted using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with ANSYS to evaluate stacking directions along the x, y, and z axes and optimize structural stability. The findings indicate that the y-axis laminated structure exhibits superior vibration endurance, effectively reducing issues during launch. This research contributes to improving the reliability of Can-Satellites and enhances manufacturing efficiency for cube and micro-satellite projects. Additionally, it supports the advancement of educational satellites and domestic small satellite technology.
