Description

BLV - AMS Riser for X1C V3

Introduction

I'm Ben Levi, and I want to talk to you about this BLV AMS Riser that I designed:
So, when the AMS is sitting on top of the printer, you can't really see what the printer is doing, and you can't even open the top glass cover to let some air in when you're printing High temp stuff. basically, something that will hold the AMS and free your Glass top cover will be a good solution for that. Now I've seen some similar AMS risers before, but none of them really wowed me.. i think..

That's why I decided to come up with this sleek BLV AMS Riser design, easy to use, easy to put together, and reliable. I even added two handy drawers for your tools and stuff, a special shelf that can hold up to 4pcs Build Plates, built-in Dual LED strips. Sure, it took me a while, but I got it (almost..) done.

As some of you may know, I love contributing to this wonderful community, which is why I chose to share with you my project without any fee or money. Among other things, I've also given you access to the original CAD files (F3D,STEP) so that you can easily make changes, add, and improve as you see fit. Please, if you publish a remix, make sure to link it to the original project as a remix so that others can benefit from your effort. I kindly request not to use the files for commercial purposes without explicit permission from me.

Thanks,
Ben Levi

If you want, buy me a beer :)

Main features

These are just a few design features I've planned. If you have more ideas, please share them with me, and I can incorporate them into the design. Also, feel free to add remixes (CAD files are available for download).

Easy installation
Dual LED strip
installed in optimal angle for LiDAR.
AMS riser
Top glass Holder
2 drawers for tools (with version for tools)
4 x Build Plates holder
Rubber Gasket for the glass
Customised Panels
access to original buttons
No screws required
CAD files available (F3D,STEP)

How to print and where to begin?

I must admit, if you're in search of a quick two-hour print and you're finished, this may not be the right place for it. To initiate and successfully complete this project, a considerable amount of filament and time investment is necessary. Here are the essential resources you'll be required to invest:

I tried to keep the project in as few parts as possible and minimize the use of screws and glue. I've also included three images that show all the parts and file names to help you easily know what to print and what to remove. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Printing settings

Under each file name, I've added a recommendation on how to print that component. Please note that these are just suggestions, and you can choose the filament type, infill percentage, and wall count according to your preferences.

Additionally, I've attached an image below that illustrates how to orient each component on the print bed for optimal results (click to enlarge):

Please note that you will find in also wonderful print profiles from the community too :)

Assembly instructions

I think the best way to demonstrate the assembly is through a video. Therefore, I've created a short animation video for you that illustrates the assembly process and the sequence of the project's components. Enjoy:

@Martin8bity

I tried to print the back part from PETG, but the back side under support is ugly after removing support. What did I do wrong? I calibrated the material, did temperature tower, dried filament, using Bambu PETG Basic. Other prints from the same material look OK, eg. test cube is great.

The designer has replied

@benlevi

what profile? without support?

@Martin8bity

Replying to @benlevi :

I used the main "New Optimized 0.2mm layer, 3 walls, 20% infill, GYROID, Better support! Less filament" profile with support.

@MartinH

Replying to @benlevi :

I have exactly the same issues as Martin8bity. It looks as if I had made these photos with my own print result. Same profile with support. I am using Bambu PETG Basic gray. I am looking for hints what to do better.

@MatrixDesign

Can anyone give advice on supports? Nothing is mentioned at all about supports anywhere and when i downloaded and used the benlevi's recommended files, it has supports on. But now I'm using way more filament then i originally thought id need based on the list above. Do you need support for the main frame? if not why was it set to having it on? if you do need it why isn't the filament amount required much higher? Thanks

@NitroKoS

Just getting ready to print this as well but the supports in the profile look a bit extreme, did you ever get any answers or try to print any of it yet?

@brodieprice88

Also seeking the answer to whether supports are needed for the main frame??

@Ewassell

Did anyone ever answer you on this?

@nkamenar.it

I posted a remix with a revised gasket that has wings to shield the LED strips from being directly viewed so you don't get blinded when looking into the printer.

@Maximumquake1

Where did you post the remix to?

@MusicRoom

Can you post a link to this remix? I'd love to print it and have an existing riser made with LED strip already. Hard to go back to the poor lightning that it came with originally.

Love the design, would be great if it had option for fitting a LED strip all around the inside like this https://www.printables.com/model/564368-bambu-lab-x1c-glass-top-led-raiser-for-blledcontro for the BL LED controller

The designer has replied

@benlevi

Hi, i have tried it before but it made the LiDAR blind causing few errors while printing. have you tried it with LiDAR?

@Bretthtml

Replying to @benlevi :

first of all fantastic design! i came here hoping this was compatible with the BL LED aswell would absolutly love to see this have a fitting for the Bl LED aswell. with the BL LED the person that made the BL LED has a custom controller that communicates witht he printer and tirns the cob lights off during the lidar phase so it doesnt cuase any issues. but yes the BL LED works just fine with lidar function since it turns on after the lidar phase.

(Edited)

@benlevi

Replying to @Bretthtml :

Thank you, i will try to gett it.

@stephen.price2

great print, but I can’t figure out how the LED strip gets placed. can someone shed some light on this?

@majornoms

+1 to this question.

Replying to @Cerino18927 :

Me too, got the LED's. Kinda guessing the idea is to cut the strip in half and solder wires to both sides, feed wire through the teeny holes at the back on both sides on the back, then attach back to the USB cable? If that's the case, I am going to skip the USB cable and wire direct in to a 5v power supply I have on a sonoff switch to control the LED's through Home Assistant as the onboard USB port on my P1S is used for my xtouch screen.

@nickramsey57

Damn! If I hadn't just printed two of another version, I would have gone for this one. But 40 hours and 2kg of filament later I won't be doing another. Of course, it could be an excuse to buy another Bambu and AMS ...

@3D_JJJ

Aha！good idea！go to buy X1E hahahahha

@Big.Daddy.

got the second one done now to make 8 more

The designer has replied

@benlevi

WOW! it look amazing !!! nice print!!!

@syamjam

Nice print! I've printed parts 1 to 3, just waiting for part 4 to finish now. Can I ask, how did you fit all the parts together? Did you use any glue? I've tried putting what I have together and they don't seem that sturdy.

@Big.Daddy.

Replying to @syamjam :

no glue mine were a little tight I used 3 in 0ne lube spay on the slide and a rubber hammer i think 2 of the 4 pieces on the orange one lifted on the bed this time probably my fought had the brim to far gap the other changed gap for brim to .05 and came out perfect I real like benlevi design decided to do all 10 of my printers with it

Print Profile

(PLA Profile) 0.22mm layer, 2 walls, 10% infill

everything OK until I printed the 2 back grills they are far to small I had to hold them in place while I took the photo

The designer has replied

@uran238

I have exactly the same issue. I printed it twice since I thought I had some wrong settings. It seems this version is just wrong. i wonder why nobody else has this issue?!?

@uran238

Ok. Found out that in the original profile the backplates are too small. Seems to be a bug. I loaded another profile (the second one (by kuthedk)), exported the part and imported it into the original one. They are clearly different. I will now print the larger one and find out if it fits...

(Edited)

@trailblazen

Replying to @uran238 :

its almost like this profile was a copy paste from the original v1.0 BLV profile (prior to him fixing things/updates with v1.3) just so that this other person can get maker points.....lazy. At least verify your files if you want to remix it before uploading.

@NismoStroke0027

The print profile is no longer public

Fit all parts and pieces perfectly! Awesome finish.

@benlevi

WOW !!! nice colors!

(Edited)

@garant.alexandr

hello! do you still have your Gcode?? i can find a way to setup my support its either too much or not enough…

@NismoStroke0027

Replying to @garant.alexandr :

I used presliced files from Makerworld. It's the only guy with PLA and 12 plates. the 12th plate was just a test though. You can see his profile selected in the screenshot. I also included a picture of all of the brims and supports I had to remove with his profiles. I used only PLA(Flashforge Burnt Titanium) and PLA+(Elegoo Black) for all the pieces except for the TPU gasket.

(Edited)

@PlasticPusher

First one done now on to the second one also if your having problems putting the honeycomb sides or back pieces in they go in alot easier from the inside

@zeee3d

Very nice colors! What exact filaments did you use for the 2 greys?

@PlasticPusher

Replying to @zeee3d :

the main 4 big pieces were Bambu Basic Silver PLA if you use any of the bambu Silver need to adjust the volumetric preasure from 21 down to 14 or you will get big globs the Front where the buttons are was Overture Petg Light Gray the 2 drawers were Amazon Basics Petg Gray im thinking about redoing those with the honeycomb look and use the same Hatchbox True Black ABS for those as well to match the other honeycomb stuff
