Design Concept

Previously, I have constructed lid raisers with 10-, 20- and 30-mm distance up to the glass plate. These were designed to utilize PLA or TPU material. After this, I have switched to printing a lot with ABS plastic. And then I constructed the 33mm, that had the opportunity close the ventilation slots for ABS and other high temp plastics.

This time I have made I with slots that have the advantage that the openings can be closed or opened according to the type of plastic to be used. The raiser is now 40mm up to the glass plate. This is to make better airflow in the chamber.

I've experimented a lot with making fasteners that don't get caught in the chain of the print head. Now the corner fasteners are adapted and should therefore not get in the way of the chain.

Print

When printing the corners, you must use supports. I have used regular supports that are only attached to the building board. Since they are only to be attached to the building board, they are easy to remove. Have tried with Creality Print V5.0.2 and Orca 2.0 both get the supports to drop easily.

The print consists of 4 corners with corresponding closing mechanisms. There will be 12 parts for the corners, and they will be printed separately.

There are also 4 sides with associated shutters that are printed separately as well. There will be 8 parts to be sliced out for the print of the sides.
