Ring V4, handle for Bambu build plates! (256x256)

(This one is for A1, P1 and X1. Smaller 180x180 version for A1 Mini is available →HERE←)

NEW version for X2D and other series 2 printers available here: Ring V4.5, For BambuLab series 2 printers! - Free 3D Print Model - MakerWorld

This simple, small handle helps you better manage your Bambu Lab plates. It makes it easier to lift the warm plate from the bed, wash it, and avoid leaving grease from your fingers. Fits inside with the glass door closed!

The small size allows the ring to remain on the plate during printing. Tested and proven functional with Bambu Textured 180x180, 256x256 and Smooth 180x180 plates.

Size: If the fit is too loose or tight, scale the ring in your slicer the appropriate amount. Lot of variables can cause size differences.

Use PETG (or stronger depending on your bed temperature) for better heat resistance, however, PLA does work. I recommend using my print profile and settings! (Strength, bridge direction matters and etc.)

Assembly:

1. Insert one half with the pegs through the plate.
2. Push the other half into the slots in the pegs. Make sure that piece lays as deep as possible in the peg grooves.
3. Push the two rings together.
4. Clips: Insert them into the slots, first from inside the ring and the second one on the handle. It may feel stiff, but this is necessary for final tension. It's a tight fit, which is intentional.

Note: Compatibility with all types of plates has not been fully tested.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!
