AMS Vertical Stand - Base Gridfinity compatible

UPDATE (08.05.25): A1 mini printable is now available here!

Hi,

I’m sharing my “vision” and version of a well-accepted design in the community for the AMS Lite vertical stand.

My design is based on the original solutions found here:

• Link 1
• Link 2

However, I’ve made some modifications to improve usability and compatibility.

The main goal was to make the base compatible with the Gridfinity system while also making the space below the stand more functional. This allows for the storage of tools, nozzles, silicone socks, and other items. Additionally, if you're already using Gridfinity in other areas like drawers or cabinets, you can store the bins elsewhere when needed.

Key Features and Changes:

1. Redesigned Base for Gridfinity Compatibility:
   • To align with the Gridfinity grid spacing, the base had to be slightly narrower.
   • This design improves usability and makes the stand more versatile.
2. Modified Stand Structure:
   • The original design didn’t allow installation of the AMS Lite on both ends, as the screw hole was only on one side. My redesign includes screw holes on both sides, ensuring extra stability regardless of placement.
   • The stand's height has been increased to make it easier to access items stored beneath it.
3. Custom Bins:
   I redesigned the included bins to better suit my needs, while drawing inspiration from other designs:
   • AMS Lite Vertical Cover
     Based on this model.
   • Silicone Sock Storage
     My version is 2x1x2U, inspired by this design.
   • Hotend Storage
     My version is 2x2x2U, inspired by this design.
   • Filament Cutter Blade Storage
     My version is 1x1x2U with 8 slots, inspired by this design.
   • Tool Storage
     My version is 4x2x2U, with fixed dimensions, inspired by this design.

4. Lids

   I include with this lids to cover the base. I offer base options to use with and without lids.

5. Front and back orientation

   I've included Bambulab logos to indicate the correct position of the AMS lite. the base has a logo too, however is not mandatory for the overall orientation.

If you’d like to modify or create your own bins, MakerWorld offers plenty of options. For Fusion 360 users, there’s even a plugin to parametrically create Gridfinity grids and bins:

Compatibility Note:

This design stand and base is not compatible with other bases or rotating stands due to constraints introduced by the Gridfinity system.

I hope you find this design helpful! It has significantly improved my daily 3D printing workflow, and I hope it enhances yours as well.

NOTE: if you find the tolerances too high where the base and stand meet…use what you might find usefull to shim the spacing. Personally I dont find the need for it, it's stable enough!
