Another wedge to lift the top glass of your Bambu printer when you need to vent for long prints.

This one firmly holds the glass top in place, is quick/easy to put on and take off, and doesn't require assembly or supports.

Lots of detail below, but the summary is that this clips onto the glass, then slides over around the handle, creating a firm grip that holds the glass up ~20mm (~¾"), creating a vent.

It can clip onto the door handle when not in use (an accidental perk - thank you to the reviewers who discovered this!).

Updated 2024-03-6 - The model has been updated and split into Tight Fit and Loose Fit versions.

- Tight Fit is very close to the same as the original design. This fits snugly around the glass and the handle.

- Loose Fit has larger tolerances around the glass and the handle.

Both versions were adjusted to avoid getting stuck on the screws on the bottom of the handle.

There are 2 new profiles, accordingly named Tight Fit and Loose Fit.

Each new profile has 4 different designs inside, 1 per plate. The designs are simply visual differences and are up to your preference. Just pick your favorite design and print that single plate.

Because multiple choices are bundled together, the filament usage and time estimates are wrong. The actual time and usage are about ¼ of those listed.

I'll keep the old profiles with the old models, but will label them as old.

How To

- Lift the glass up

- Clip the lifter on to the front of the glass to the right of the handle

- Push it all the way forward

- Slide it left until it stops against the handle (it's an intentionally snug fit)

- Lower the glass back down

“Locked” in place:

Recommended Print Settings

- Layer height: 0.20mm Standard

- Wall loops: 3

- Infill: 15%, Cubic

If printed standing on its right side, it shouldn't need supports or a brim (see pictures). The model should already be in this orientation when opening it.

This printed well and feels very sturdy in both Bambu PLA Basic and Sunlu PLA.

I'm open to feedback. Feel free to remix, but not sell.
