Description

(This one is for A1 mini. Bigger 256x256 version for A1, P1 and X1 printers available →HERE←)

This simple, small handle helps you better manage your Bambu Lab plates. It makes it easier to lift the warm plate from the bed, wash it, and avoid leaving grease from your fingers.

It's particularly useful for washing your build plates.

The small size allows the ring to remain on the plate during printing. Tested and proven functional with Bambu Textured 180x180, 256x256 and Smooth 180x180 plates.

Size: If the fit is too loose or tight, scale the ring in your slicer the appropriate amount. Lot of variables can cause size differences.

Use PETG (or stronger) for better heat resistance, however, PLA does work. I recommend using my print profile and settings! (Strength, bridge direction matters and etc.)

Please remember to boost if you find my creations useful!

Assembly:

Insert one half with the pegs through the plate.
Push the other half into the slots in the pegs. Make sure that piece lays as deep as possible in the peg grooves.
Push the two rings together.
Clips: Insert them into the slots, first from inside the ring and the second one on the handle. It may feel stiff, but this is necessary for final tension. It's a tight fit, which is intentional.

Note: Compatibility with all types of plates has not been fully tested.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

@CrispyW Is the only difference between the smooth and textured rings the distance of the plate gaps? I printed a bunch of both but the smooth rings ended up being too loose for all of my plates (mostly 3rd party) so now I'm trying to figure out what I can reuse to cut down on reprints.

@CrispyW

Yes that's the only difference. You can scale the model up in the slicer if it prints too loose. edit: and it is made for bambu plates. which aftermarket plates have the same holes?

Replying to @CrispyW :

Thanks. There a few Aliexpress plates that have the holes, as I specifically bought them to work with this handle. If the links work they're below: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807128128728.html? (A1 Mini, Black Epoxy Resin Plate) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808058852881.html? (PEI Honeycomb) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806512227317.html? The Bambu plates are kind of expensive and the 3rd party ones seem to work just as well from what I can tell. Unfortunately none of the 3rd party 3D effect/patterned plates seem to have the Bambu holes from what I've found.

Worked great for me, I've also added the Print profile I used for ASA.

Great to hear! By the way it looks like you had adhesion issues. wash your build plate with dish soap, and the ring is useful for that :D

re washed. all good

Perfect fit in P1S textured build plate.

For Smooth plate!

It doesn’t quite clip together correctly. Clipping the circular part together was incredibly difficult, but then when I was able to finally do it, the small clip that goes on that end wouldn’t snap at all. I printed 2 of these, as I wanted to use the other one for another plate I had. However I clipped the second one together to see if it wouod clip together. It was difficult to do so, but I did manage to clip all the clips together without the piece being attached to the PEI Plate. The tolerances need to be adjusted for the Circle and Small Clips.

Thanks for the feedback. Were the tabs all the way through the plate holes when you tried to close the pieces together? Its a tight fit so the handle won't rattle.

Printed in PETG, turned out great! Had to print the clips a few times because I insisted on not printig with brims :) Personally, I would make it double the width and a bit bigger overal, to get a better grip. Still 5 stars!

@CrispyW

Thank you for the feedback! I didn't make it so wide since I was worried the longer brim might act as a lever on the connection pins. I'll make a test version if that really is the case.
