I wanted a glass raiser that was easy to modify, sparse on filament and with no large parts that would cause headache in case of failed prints or tweaks in design. I also wanted it to be somewhat modular in case of different needs or preferences in the future.
Therefore this glass raiser for Bambu Lab X1C.
No supports needed! (except for one small part for the mechanism)
I had to set surprisingly tight tolerances for all the parts, however it came together perfectly for me.
I used COB led strip from Pautix: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X1QMRKK?ref_=pe_386300_442618370_TE_sc_as_ri_0&th=1
The LED lip is 9mm wide.
Bolts used:
There is a recess for the nuts, so only a screwdriver is needed.
Stilts printed at 4 walls/top/bot surfaces at 30% gyroid infill.
Don't remember exactly what I did for the main corners, but these should also be printed fairly strong.
Front panel and venting mechanism at default settings.
Please be mindful of where you put the seams for smooth assembly and rotation of moving parts.
This is especially crucial for the venting mechanism.
Printed in PETG. I recommend doing some small testprints to check that fitment is OK.
I added a step-file of assemblies and some individual parts. For assemblies open in studio and use “Split to Objects”, then lay out the parts on the number of build plates needed.
Disclaimer:
I did have to do some small shavings here and there for the assembly, caused mainly by rough corners and seams.
I also installed a small keeper pin in the back to keep the glass rest straight due to some bending of the material causing a tight fit for the glass. Doing this I had to replace a M4x16mm with a M4x20mm. Print this only if needed.
