Description

After reading a few more remix comments, I see the glass issue isn't an anomaly on my print, so I updated the STP, STL, and .3MF models to include the 1mm (0.25%) front-to-back stretch.

As a guy with a career in product design, let me first say that Ben did a really nice job on this riser design. There's a lot of thought, time, and effort in this design.

After printing a copy, I did have a couple of issues. After trying to figure out quick fixes, I went down the remix rabbit hole and the attached files are the result.

The biggest issue I had was the top glass did not fit in the riser. I discovered that the radius of the back corners is larger than the glass corners, so it prevented the glass from seating against the back wall. I added some relief back there with a smaller radius corner to let the glass slide back a little further. In my final print I also stretched the models by .25% to add 1mm to the overall length.


I also like the idea of a front ledge, so I added that to the front dash parts and the gaskets.

The plugs on the gaskets had no really retention into the body parts, so I added a little more bump on the plugs so they snap in.

The buttons up front are free to rotate, so I added keys on the buttons and the X1C frame to keep them oriented properly.

Not a fan of coming off the build plate in a full radius, so I modified the back-side of the riser so the build comes off the plate a 45 degrees. Cleans up the first few layers on the butt.

I noticed the build plates in the storage slot would walk out of the riser with the machine shaking. I added a little slide latch on one side to keep the build plates in place. I used glass filled ABS on my build. The spring element on the latch might need to be tweaked to get a nice snap/lock in other materials. I printed some latches in PLA and they work great. Regardless of the material you use, coat the center leg of the latch slide with super-glue - top and bottom. Dab off the excess with a paper towel. Let it cure for a good while before installing it. That will add a lot of strength across the layer lines of the spring so it doesn't break. You may also need to spread the slot a little when sliding that latch into position. I know PETG is a popular material for these risers. If you use PETG for Part2, I suggest NOT using PETG for the slide. PETG does not slide well plastic on plastic. PLA will work better.

I ended up with the 8mm strip lights rather than the 5mm Ben suggests. Not sure how I screwed that up, but I reworked the slots to fit the 8mm lights. My strip is also cut at 50mm intervals, so I stretched the slots out further to the front to better match the 50mm increment.

Happy to provide hybrid models if anyone wants them - like if you want the features for my build plate slide with the original lighting slots.

It would be great to have the LED be 360 around the inside so you only need 1 LED strip that connects to a BL LED and 24w power tap inserted in the back area. combine something like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1473522635/bl-led-case-w-assembled-24v-power-tap LED Strip: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832716942897.html

I saw a comment from someone that lights in front hosed up the lidar. don’t have any first hand knowledge.

One of the functions of the BLLED controller is to turn off the lights during the LIDAR phase so that's a non issue for my build

Replying to @3DJosh :
I actually haven't installed/wired the LEDs yet, as I have an X1e on order and have a buyer for my X1c ... so I'll get the lights wired up on the X1e when it shows up - hopefully in a few weeks.

Are there suppose to be supports with this? I printed #4, using the profile provided, supports are enabled but nothing was created when sliced. I hesitated, but sent it anyway. This is what I ended up with. I'm sure I did something wrong, but the only thing I changed from your profile was the nozzle size since I only have the 0.4.

I think what happened is when I updated the models last I replaced the 4 main component STLs, but did not rework the support painting. I just redid the manual supports. Sorry for missing that with the last update.

AMS riser, wouldn't be without one, print profile was really good only exception being the holes for the additional spool holder. I had to rework this area alot with a file and knife to remove all the support material. probably my fault but its definitely a fantastic print

the profile has huge brim . when I disable it nothing happens and the brim is still there. it's made assembly quite difficult. I'm probably doing something wrong as usual ..

The brim might be in the object-dependent settings. I didn't have any assembly issues with my builds. Might check the flowrate calibration on your material settings. Could be a filament difference issue.

What an awesome remix of an already fantastic design by Ben! Did you, by chance, do your modifications using his source Fusion file? If so, could you provide me with the file so I can put some personal touches on it and not have to redo your mods? Of course, I will give credit and link back to you and BLV :)

I did my work in PTC Creo. There is a full STEP assembly in the RAW files.

I have a p1p.. if I print the front panels that Ben did will they work with your mods to the back corner pieces?

If I'm not mistaken, the only thing Ben has different for the P1P is the insert for the buttons has no holes. That said, I did not change the joint between the front sections and back sections so they should connect. My light slots are different though. If you're planning to add the lights that will be an issue. The front dash parts without the ledge should also connect up to mine and you can use Ben's gasket parts.

Has a random void in the rear sections. Prepare for surprise supports buried inside.

that’s in the original design from Ben Levi. i didn’t look into why he might have done that in the design. Is there a concern for buried supports? Seems that would do no more harm than infill. I use manual supports though, so won't happen in my setup.
