Bambu Lab Lift Kit

I designed this lift kit for my Bambu printer, and it has proven to be an invaluable addition. The kit lifts the AMS unit off the top glass panel, which is essential for several reasons:

1. Ease of Cleaning: The glass top often gets dirty on the inside, and to clean it thoroughly, I had to remove the AMS unit. With the lift kit, this task has become much easier.
2. Better Convection for PLA Printing: When printing with PLA, the front glass door needs to remain open. This disrupts proper convection, allowing cool air to enter through the front, which negatively impacts first layer adhesion. With the lift kit in place, the top glass panel is raised, ensuring better heat circulation and improved print quality.
3. Enhanced Lighting: The interior of the machine is quite dark, and I wanted to add lighting inside the lift kit. This allows for better visibility and overall usability.

The modular design of the lift kit allows for flexibility and customization. By creating the kit in separate pieces, I can achieve a clean exterior finish on the side panels, experiment with different color combinations, and swap out components as I discover new features I want to incorporate. This approach not only improves accuracy and aesthetics but also allows for future upgrades.

Along with the .3MF and STL files, I’m providing STEP files as well. This gives you the freedom to adjust the design—whether it's changing fastener types (e.g., metric) or switching from heat inserts to nut pockets, you can tailor the lift kit to suit your needs.

For optimal strength, I recommend printing with 4 exterior loops, 5 top/bottom layers, and 40% infill. After all, you’re supporting the weight of the AMS unit, so durability is key.
