LED Glass Raiser with AMS Stilts and QuickVent

I wanted a glass raiser that was easy to modify, sparse on filament and with no large parts that would cause headache in case of failed prints or tweaks in design. I also wanted it to be somewhat modular in case of different needs or preferences in the future.

Therefore this glass raiser for Bambu Lab X1C.

• AMS is lifted with 6 stilts that are dovetailed and bolted to the riser. These can easily be replaced and are designed to be printed without support. There is only one orientation that will work, choose the side where the AMS groove is in contact with the bed.
• 45° angled LED strip groove with corner pockets for more easily bending the strip in the corners. Small plug in corner to allow for cable exit, no need for soldering.
• 4 main corner pieces that are bolted together.
• Two piece front panel, which is dovetailed in place. Front panel with slot for Bambu scraper and opening for buttons.
• TPU gasket which also serves as a cap for the LEDs so not blinded by the lights from above.
• Venting mechanism is in the front of the raiser. I designed it to be partly bolted by a M2 bolt, but ended up not using it. Mirror all parts for left side version.
• Glass storage below the AMS.

No supports needed! (except for one small part for the mechanism)

I had to set surprisingly tight tolerances for all the parts, however it came together perfectly for me.

I used COB led strip from Pautix: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X1QMRKK?ref_=pe_386300_442618370_TE_sc_as_ri_0&th=1

The LED lip is 9mm wide.

Bolts used:

• 4x M4x16mm with locknuts.
• 6x M4x20mm with locknuts.

There is a recess for the nuts, so only a screwdriver is needed.

Stilts printed at 4 walls/top/bot surfaces at 30% gyroid infill.

Don't remember exactly what I did for the main corners, but these should also be printed fairly strong.

Front panel and venting mechanism at default settings.

Please be mindful of where you put the seams for smooth assembly and rotation of moving parts.

This is especially crucial for the venting mechanism.

Printed in PETG. I recommend doing some small testprints to check that fitment is OK.

I added a step-file of assemblies and some individual parts. For assemblies open in studio and use “Split to Objects”, then lay out the parts on the number of build plates needed.

Disclaimer:

I did have to do some small shavings here and there for the assembly, caused mainly by rough corners and seams.

I also installed a small keeper pin in the back to keep the glass rest straight due to some bending of the material causing a tight fit for the glass. Doing this I had to replace a M4x16mm with a M4x20mm. Print this only if needed.
