Description

Update 1/3/2023: I accidentally set the radius to twice the intended value. This has been fixed and the fit should be better as a result. This only affected the back half of the riser. Also adjusted the fitment of the AMS. Added plates with preferred settings. If they do not load properly, you can use default strength settings for a high temp filament of your choice. I found that tree supports were not reliable. As such, I used the strong tree supports instead. You can set supports to touching build plate only. If you don't, there is a hollow channel to save filament that will be filled with supports.

 

I wanted a more minimal no frills riser for the AMS that would double as a glass vent. Many risers have print in place vents or otherwise printed vents that can be fiddly and difficult to get just right. They also suffer from poor seals due to the required tolerances. This aims to fix that. It gets your AMS off the printer so you can see down into it, it has the required outlets for a 24V LED strip to exit, space for weatherstripping, shafts for steel reinforcement and instead of fiddly vents, you just move your glass up like it was an oven rack. The result should be a robust design that is simple but effective.

Also be great if the model was split up and positioned on the plates. Additionally the recommendation for support settings would help but going to take a gamble on one section and try this myself.

Replying to @Blissfull :
Thank you for the suggestion, I have added a print profile for PETG with the model positioned as described. Biggest takeaway is to use Strong Tree Supports. Saves filament and allows you to support the upper section while being more reliable than the default tree supports.

Most lighting strips come backed with adhesive. There is a 45 degree downward facing ring around the perimeter where it is intended you put your strip. You can then route the cable through the back with the hole.

I am fairly new at this but I can't seem to find the files for the holders?

I'm confused what you are referring to by "holders". If you're talking about how the glass is held in the upper position, that is accomplished by a set of nubs that protrude from the vertical columns. The glass rests on these in the elevated position.

Good, did some modifications because i didn't wanted tall supports, but overall good profile.

So this needs to be put together with hot ends and screws?
