Description

This is a slip fit bed guard for the A1 I designed after the bed bumped me while I was looking at the AMS. Two rods are included in the files, one is a tight press fit the other is an easy slip fit that may need glue to hold it. This requires no screws or other hardware and is easily removable. The outer rod can be printed in a contrasting color (Red) to emphasize it as a guard. Printed in Bambu PLA using the standard print profile, 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2 layer height. EDIT: I redesigned the original so all the rods are the same and they fit much easier.

This is an amazing idea. I’ve even been bumped by the bed several times. The fit the rods into the side pieces is extremely tight. I had to use A LOT of force to get then to fit. one rod and hole did slightly deform. The damage was minor and the piece remains completely functional. printed in PETG-HF.

I broke mine in less than four hours because I Put too much down wood pressure on the bumper bar when I accidentally leaned on it whoops. Now printing it in Dayglow orange so I don't do this again. When I get better at this, I wanna extend that bar out a little bit further so I can put those cool handles on the print plates but for now I'm very happy with this idea. Thank you.

pic of broken corner. Every opportunity to make something better just for me as an opportunity for learn. This is such a great model and this machine is so much fun.

@MadStew

Do you think I should ease up on the fit so it's not so tight?

I no longer fear the 3D printer smacking into my face when I lay on the floor and stare with amazement at this fantastic gadget do its 21 century magic -- for me, it's the equivalent of staring at a fire with awe and amazement. You see the POWER and the possibilities. It literally gives me goosebumps. Now I can watch in safety! Thanks, MadStew. Boosted you. :)

Beautiful comment. The files have been modified for an easier fit and the rods are all the same.

Replying to @MadStew :

Hey buddy, the new specs on the don't smash my face safety rail/ bars are fantastic. The new rods fit in place snuggly with minimal effort. thank you. Maybe you're going to laugh – – I amazoned a rubber mallet a few day ago, and it was delivered this afternoon – – the only reason I wanted this mallet was to put your model together without weakening the PLA with a real hammer which is what i did with my fist print (gray) . Now I dont need it. LOL. I will have to find other things to hit.... gently....in the meantime, I still have my second print (red) and the new print with the new specs in green . I leave the green one in place when I am away from the machine, but if I walk over to the machine to start staring at it a gain, I specifically take the green safety off, then put the red safety bars on (inverted) as an additional conscious reminder to keep my distance. Thanks for making the update. a VERY HAPPY christmas for this guy.
