Description

UPDATE 17/02/2024:

I finally got around to adding the official print profile. 

Several people had trouble with the walls around the front and rear screw holes, especially when using filaments other than PLA.

To resolve this for everyone, I have changed all hardware in this updated version to M2, which allows for thicker walls without changing any other dimensions.

To build this updated version, you will need:

  • 8* M2 3mm x 3.6mm heatset inserts
  • 8* M2 x 16mm bolts
  • 4* M5 woodscrews or chipboard screws of suitable length for your mounting surface.

============================================================================================================

Remix of buildplate caddy by cHaOt166, which is itself a remix of FrostyTheClownMan's model.

I've added even more central support for the plates, in the form of full-width central cross-members, a drawer for addtional build surface stickers, and finally mounting lugs for underdesk/undershelf mounting. I've also remixed the holes for the front and rear parts to accept heatset inserts.

 

You will need to print the contents of each file once, except for the cross-member files where you need to print 4* Full cross-members and 3* half cross members.

All parts were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm payer height.

The drawer slots together from 4 parts and doesn't need glue. The parts are a tight fit and may need adjusting according to the tolerances of your printer. There are gaps between each of the drawer “slats”, as they wouldn't fit on the build plate if any larger, and when assembled it is rigid enough that there was no need to design a way to connect them.

When assembling the main body, first connect both sides with the cross-members before attaching the front and rear pieces. assembly is push fit only and again is quite tight.

The positions of the full and half cross members should be apparent from the shape of their corresponding receptacle. The cross members are green in my photos, so they are easy to see, and for clarity the upper four slots of the central column of cross-members are full cross members. The lower two are half cross-members, as is the cross-member at the front which supports the front of the drawer. Half cross-members should have their flat side, non-chamfered side, at the bottom.

Ive included STL's and STEP files so that the model can easily be adjusted for tolerances if required.

I hope that some of you find this useful, and I'd love to see your makes.

 

N.B if you downloaded these files before 17th February 2024 you will need to use M3 hardware as follows:

8* M3 5.7mm x 4.6mm heatset inserts

8* M3 x 16mm bolts

I really wanted to love this file because it is the only file I found that has a special place for the build stickers but I am finding the walls in all 4 corners where the screws go on the front and back much too thin. I printed these using your settings. Is there anyway you can fix the corners on the front and back. I am not going to print the rest right now because I'm afraid when I try to put it together that the corners are going to break. I've attached pictures from Bambu Slicer. If you look closely you can see how thin the areas are that I circled. Also added a couple pictures of the front print.

Hi, I appreciate that the walls around the counterbore for those holes are quite thin. It's a combination of the really tight size constraints of the build plate, the dimensions needed to ensure that the plate stickers will fit, and the fact that I only had m3 heatsets. The counterbore holes need to be big enough to accept the head of an m3 bolt.

There are a few things to try. 1. It's not clear what filament you are using, but I only tested this model with PLA and had no issues. 2. Make sure that you have "detect thin walls" enabled in the slicer. 3. It's worth trying Arachne for you wall generation. To avoid wasting filament when testing, just cut one of those corners out in your slicer and use it as a test piece.

Failing that, there are a couple of other things possible, depending on preference: 1. I could fill in the counterbore and just have an m3 hole. You could use longer m3 bolts with the head on the surface, or just counter sunk. 2. I could adapt all holes to m2 if you have m2 heatsets and bolts.

This is really nice storage for the build plates and the stickers that go on the build plate. I have never found storage that will hold the build plate stickers until I ran across this one. After resizing the screw holes the plate storage went together really well and easy.
