<h3>NOTE:</h3><ul><li>Please read the instruction guide below</li><li>I do my best to double-check and test the print profile I create. They are up to date with whatever changes I made to the designs. If you are using profiles made by others, please check if they are updated.</li></ul><h3>UPDATE: 24 Dec 2023</h3><p>Would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It has been a week since GRIP was uploaded to MakerWorld for the community. Since then I had some feedback on the retainer clips. I have updated the design to improve layer adhesion and tested it. Would like the thanks those that tried and printed GRIP. Happy printing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-24_72f6fa29ece5e.png"><figcaption>Old (Left) vs New (Right) </figcaption></figure><h3>UPDATE: 15 Dec 2023</h3><p>I have received several questions regarding the differences between GRIP and <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/92486#profileId-99168" rel="nofollow noopener">Bambu Lab version</a>. While both designs serve the same function, my design approach is based on considerations that I feel are important when designing parts for 3D printing.</p><ul><li><strong>Reliability and Rigidity</strong> -  I opted for screw mounting the GRIP bracket because I take into consideration that metal and plastic behave differently with changes in ambient temperature. Clamping the GRIP using screws to the top gantry greatly reduces the chance of any failure due to parts loosening. </li><li><strong>Ease of Print and Print Orientation</strong> - Proper orientation improves print success and user confidence. I design parts with little or no support. A major weakness of 3D-printed parts is the layer lines. With proper orientation of prints, this weakness can be avoided. For example, the AMS lite swivel bracket is printed at 45 degrees to improve the strength of the swivel and eliminate the use of support. </li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:49.99%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-15_534012b0bf62c.png"></figure><ul><li><strong>Prudent in filament usage</strong> - good filament is not cheap. I want to be prudent with filament usage but at that same time NOT sacrificing strength and rigidity. It&#39;s a delicate balance and I am happy to say that GRIP has managed to achieve it with a slim profile and a pair of discreet stabilizing feet.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>INTRODUCTION</h3><p>When I placed the A1 combo on my workstation, I realised the setup required a lot of space on my table. So I decided to design a bracket to mount the AMS lite on the A1 frame. As usual, I set a few parameters and requirements when designing this bracket:</p><ul><li>Easy and fast to print with little/no support needed.</li><li>Sturdy and reliable when fully loaded and swivel for easy loading.</li><li>Use existing mounting holes on the AMS lite for mounting.</li><li>Secure mounting using screws.</li><li>A holistic system that will work alongside my <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/91768#profileId-98168" rel="nofollow noopener">A1 PMS (purge management system aka poop bin)</a>.</li></ul><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-12_454c112c17058.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:100%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-12_9e06679ae9eb3.png"></figure></td></tr><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-12_d0a3fac8de1c3.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-12_f1057fdb05af8.png"></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>Introducing the AMS lite bracket for the A1. It resembles a gymnast hand grabbing and balancing on a bar. I decided to name it <strong>GRIP</strong>. It is mounted onto the 40x20 gantry with a clamp-style bracket and secured with M3 screws. This system allows the AMS to swivel improving the load and unload of filaments. 2 retainer clips are used to secure the AMS during printing. A set of PTFE tube guides (dual-colour print) prevents the tubes from overbending and breaking the filament.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A set of Stabilization Brackets for the A1 helps reduce the wobbling due to the change in the centre of gravity.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:70.09%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000090586/design/2023-12-12_e63eed49bc5bb.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>BOM</h3><ul><li>Brass inserts M3xOD5mmxL4mm - 9pcs</li><li>SHCS or BHCS M3x10mm - 9pcs</li><li>Thin double-sided tape</li></ul><p>I get my brass insert from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000232858343.html?channel=twinner" rel="nofollow noopener">this store</a> on AliExpress.

<p>This is a multipart Charizard, 16 files to scale so that each part can be printed in the right color and become as big as you want. The only thing I had to paint were the wings cause I wasn't able to split them. The one in the picture is the one I printed(250%scale), its 35cm high and large 40cm. Hope you guys enjoy! Let me know what you think.</p>
