and yet ANOTHER build plate holder..
but this time - in my style!
I'm not a fan of flimsy designs and prefer industrial furniture with exposed screws.
No build-plate holder really caught my eye until I came across the one by SimplyModels.
It was close to what I was looking for and ultimately became the main inspiration for my design
The design is easy to print: Front & Rear facing down, and Sides on their sides.
The holes are suited for 3x20mm hex-screws, but you can easily use shorter ones.
------------------------------
- V2 (Classic):
1.2mm spacing for each plate.
Fits all Standard (Engineering, Smooth, Textured, Cool) plates
- V2 (Classic) Extended:
1.6mm spacing for each plate.
Specifically made for the new Bambulabs 3D Effect Sheets which are much thicker
(up to 1.10mm with 2 sheets applied). Shout-out to Carlex for providing me with this information!
- V2 (Classic) Xtreme:
2.0mm spacing for each plate.
Should fit any plate, even the thickest.
- V3 (Mammoth):
1.2mm spacing for each plate.
Fits all Standard (Engineering, Smooth, Textured, Cool) plates
- V3 (Mammoth) Extended:
1.6mm spacing for each plate.
Fits Standard & Bambus new 3D Effect Plates.
- V3 (Mammoth) Xtreme:
2.0mm spacing for each plate.
Should fit any plate, even the thickest.
(1 of 3) Closed Rear Panel:
Your first step to fully enclose your build-plates and have them free of dust.
(2 of 3) Closed Top Cover:
A simple top cover to further prevent dust collection.
⚠ Requires disabling the “Bed exclude area” (more info down below)
(Thx to @lucben for bringing this up!)
(3 of 3) Closed Front Panel: available for V2 (Classic) & V3 (Mammoth).
The final step to fully enclose your plates and put an end to dust buildup - Once & 4 All
⚠ Please read Important Info / Instructions below!
Instructions:
The Frame is mounted on top of the already existing front with the help of (4) M3 x 20 - 25mm Screws, of which (2) “the top ones” (III) should ideally be of steel - so that the magnets have something to attach to. *For optimal results - print Frame on Smooth plate
When printing the Front Panel, the print will automatically stop at layer 32. Insert (2) 6x3mm magnets (I) and resume the print.
In case you don't want to use, or don't have any magnets on hand, just resume the print after being paused or delete the pause before printing.
To use the Front Panel without magnets, just tighten the (2) M3 x 14 - 18mm hex screws (II) a little more - to create slight friction.
Clearance Test:
If unsure which spacing best suits your plates,
please print the "Clearance Test" first and select depending on your preference or need.
P1S Stacker:
To easily stack your P1 Build plate holder.
⚠ Requires disabling the “Bed exclude area” (more info down below)
Closed Top Tray:
Simple Top cover (to avoid dust collecting on plates)
⚠ Requires disabling the “Bed exclude area” (more info down below)
Closed Top Comp. Tray:
Various flat compartments and a rounded one for your Glue-stick (measurements in mm)
⚠ Requires disabling the “Bed exclude area” (more info down below)
A1M to P1S Stacker:
To easily stack the “A1M Build plate holder” on top of your "P1S Build plate holder”
⚠ Requires disabling the “Bed exclude area” (more info down below)
WHY & HOW to disable the “Bed exclude area”:
The “Bed exclude area” is that white rectangular area at the front left corner of the build plate visible in BambuStudio. It blocks the coordinates in which the tool-head performs its filament cut. This area must be enabled to make full use of the build plate.
Edit: Follow my steps down below, or just visit this “Bambulabs Wiki” on how to do it properly. (Thx @Radish for pointing this out. :)
(1) Go to: “Printer settings” - Cut the coordinates “0x0, 18x0, 18x28, 0x28” and save this configuration to something you remember so you don't accidentally print other objects with it!!
(2) Zip-tie the springy arm at the front left corner of your P1P, P1S, X1C to the hinge of the door - if you have (or anywhere else) to prevent your tool-head from colliding with that arm when printing in that corner.
(3) After initializing the print - Get the Prime-line off the plate - it will otherwise interfere with the print.
(4) Erase the previously created "Printer setting" from step (1) and undo the Zip-tie from step (2).

If you like my design, I’d really appreciate your feedback!
It would mean the world to me. Thank you! 😊
