Introduction

Have you ever wanted to hold your spare build plates safely? Have you tried the few available and felt they weren't exactly as required?

Solution

Now you can choose all the parameters you need to make your build-plate holder - YOUR build-plate holder.

Key Features

• Supports both smooth and textured style plates (they have different thicknesses)
• Supports up to 10 plates for smooth and up to another 10 plates for textured plates
• Supports both A1 mini plates and full-size plates for another up to 10 plates each
• That is up to 40 slots if you can fit the stand on your printer

• Place on the desk or wall mount with screw holes you control
• Add extra base support so even your thinnest choices can remain stable
• Automatically rotates ready to be printed

Using OpenSCAD Directly

If you run this code within OpenSCAD, you can access additional preview options, unavailable within the MakerWorld environment. You can choose to visualise the build plates (see animation above) to help you see how your stand will look with actual plates in place.

Example Profiles

The example profiles are good examples of build-plate holders and show you the results based on many parameters. You may find one of these serves your needs. If not, “Make your stand, YOUR stand.”
