Description

Do you feel that the Bambu lab A1 Mini sometimes takes up more space than necessary? Don't like the spool placement? Would you like to change and maximize the space around the printer?
For those of you, I've created a Base that looks good but also saves space! 🥳🥳

  • The base is rigid enough to support the printer. At the same time, it does not increase vibrations and the print quality remains as good as ever. (In my observation, even better 😁)
  • The spool is reliably unwound from the bottom of the printer, which saves space around the printer.
  • On the underside of the legs there are pads made of TPU material, which guarantees that the printer will not move around the workspace. If you don't have a TPU, it doesn't matter! The printer holds even without these pads, but I still recommend at least double-sided adhesive tape.
  • If you have AMS lite, no problem! The space under the printer can be used, for example, to organize equipment and printing plates.
  • Everything is printed without supports and no purchased parts are needed 🤩!
  • Easy assembly!

Super model. Properly designed. No fiddly little pieces to stick together, just line stuff up and screw it together. I didn't want the filament under there, as I was just looking for a stand, so I eliminated the entire underneath part. I also wanted it to be a bit taller to be the same height as my Sunbu stand. I cut the "leg" off of the base, scaled it up, then repositioned it back in the base so that the angle was the same as the original. Added in a cone to have a flat surface to sit on. I stuck Blu-Tac under the legs, it isn't going anywhere. Thanks! Really good models are rare. Really good models that are also easily modifiable are VERY rare.

Just finished printing and assembling mine. used an a1m for the whole thing. my initial feelings are that this was one of the most fun prints and build I've ever done The design is absolutely amazing and well thought out. The parts fit so well together that it's beautiful and feels like a work of art. The TPU pieces fit perfectly and stay in place with some super glue My suggestion for future version: some kind of guide for the filament , maybe a small channel into the one leg. also I had some kind of thoughts of a scale implemented under the spool, to track the filament usage/remainder? but its just a wild dream thank you very much for this amazing print!

Replying to @MatthewGhost :
another suggestion.... a tool box that somehow attaches to the front. can have a little shelf or pocket for pincers and glue

I wanted to thank you, I admire your design work and borrowed an element for a sunlu s4 dryer shelf I needed in my farm. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been using this for a few days now and love it! Very thoughtfully designed and easy to put together. It’s great for saving space and I think improves the look as well. The only slight issue I have, is that the filament holder can be a little noisy sometimes and doesn’t work as well with cardboard spools.

That's right. With such a fantastic design, it would have been excellent if the spool holder had been equipped with a large ball bearing.

Great build, nice to build something bigger than the A1 mini plate and then fix together. A couple of the underside spool parts got a bit messy but the TPU covers them up. Agree with some of the other comments that a spool guide might be nice. Currently it kind of drags and catches against the side of the spool. Perhaps it might be easier to make something that clips to one of the leg structures. in case anyone was wondering I got reasonably close to the A1 mini colour using PrimaValue Grey PETG. Edit: I have had a snag since using the spools horizontally although only with a single spool. In terms of ideas for a future upgrade, perhaps enlarging the central spool support with an option to add a ring bearing to allow better rotation.

As a workaround I found this low friction ring that I printed and then superglued inside one of the leg supports which seems to be working well as a guide so far. https://makerworld.com/models/194310

This is a solid design and easy to assemble. I can’t figure out what the little long pieces are for though. it looks like you don’t need them so didn’t bring the score down for me.

lol I was trying to figure out what they're for as well.

Took me a few days of printing on and off. Stand was easy to build and in my particular case helped with relieving strain on the tubes and AMS cable. I don't need to store spools under my printer so I didn't bother printing the holder (is it also meant to add regidity?) What are the pegs in plate 2 for? Will the TPU pads fit under the legs without the holder? Overall excellent print, thanks!

I only printed the base for the printer and screwed it onto the Kallax shelf Standard screws were used for fastening I made some spacers to ensure a proper fit The printer now has its permanent spot and I am happy 🥰
