AMS Glass Separation LED Riser

Print the R4 profile for the new AMS

All the models in the family:

• AMS Glass Separation LED Riser
• AMS Glass Separation LED Riser for COB LEDs
• Glass Separation LED Riser (no AMS)
• Glass Separation LED RIser for COB LEDs (no AMS)
• NEON LED Riser (no AMS or shelf)
• TPU Layer for Risers

*** UPDATE 5/4/25 - If you have an AMS 2 Pro, check out 3D Print AS AMS 2 PRO adapter for AMS LED Riser that you can add without printing something new

*** UPDATE 6/25/24 - I've recently ordered and received a new NEON-type LED strip that can replace the original I had used.  This one comes with an optional inline switch with remote capability, which is a nice addition.  Without that, it is quite bright.  You can find it on Amazon at B0CVW36X26.   It's a ‘snug’ fit with the R4 profile, so will likely not work with the original “0.2mm layer, 3 walls, 15% infill” profile.

*** UPDATE 12/18/23 - R4 profile now live with these updates:

• Should support all AMS 1 variations
• Wider channel for NEON LED strips since the newer ones are a bit wider. Narrower strips may need 3M tape to secure
• Slightly decreased bottom perimeter improve fit for some filaments/settings that may cause some 'elephant foot' at the base
• Added small lip at front to keep glass in place for more energetic printer movement
• Increased gap between parts by 0.05mm to make assembly easier for some materials that are less exacting
• Added numbers on the bottom to help with aligning for assembly
• Added Holder Clips to the R4 profile, four on each of the two plates. Brim is enabled for the clips.

I originally started to make a riser with vents for when I print PLA, but decided to go a different route. I wanted to meet these requirements:

• Move the AMS off the top glass
• Be able to vent the top, but keep the glass with the printer
• Easily remove the glass to get into the printer, without moving the AMS
• Add additional LED lights in the form of “neon” type LED strip
• Keep as minimal / minimalistic as possible, with a low profile and not take a lot of filament, <500g
• Keep it all together, avoiding wall mounting or sitting to the side
• No supports required

This riser has a second shelf above to hold the glass top, allowing venting, but keeping the top with the printer.

The gap between the parts is 0.1mm for the original profile so it's meant to be a tight fit that stays together. The R4 profile has slightly larger gaps at 0.15mm.

If you only print PLA, then printing in PLA will be ok. Best to print in either PETG, ASA, or ABS, especially if your chamber temps get to 50+ as then you are getting close to the glass transition temp of PLA and could cause problems.

“Holder Clip.stl” is a clip that can be used to hold the LED power cord along the back before exiting the riser. “Holder Clip.3mf” has 6 of them.

The original light strip I used was the vimeepro 5V USB LED Neon Lights Strip 3.3ft neon Rope Lights Flexible Waterproof Neon LED Strip from Amazon: B0BB724ZS9. I like these lights as they provide good additional light without washing things out. If those are not available, you could use the 6' one and cut it short as needed. B0B73VGSCL. Availability of these seems to go in and out of stock. I would think that similar “NEON”-type LED strips should work. Another option provided by @moebis is https://share.temu.com/u5L2QMYplFA
