- Because of the seam inside the walls, the internal space is reduced. To clean it up, use scissors or a similar tool. Simply insert the scissors into the wall and go back and forth a few times until it feels cleaner and there’s no more resistance. This will ensure the vents will slide.

- If it's difficult to slide the pieces together, use a metal file to clean the rails, especially on the wall pieces. This minor adjustment can make a big difference. The fit is meant to be snug, so the pieces aren't loose. I had to do this with some of my pieces. Some fit perfectly, while others were tight, likely due to the printing process. Just file the rails a few times, and they should fit perfectly.

UPDATE 0.9 15/07/2025 - GUIDE UPDATED WITH THE BOM LIST FOR CFS MOUNT V1 AND V2 VERSIONS

UPDATE 0.8 26/06/2025 - NEW TEST PARTS

These parts were created to test the most critical fit between components before printing the full model.

- Start by printing just two test pieces and check if they snap together correctly.

- Confirm key dimensions and adjust your slicer scaling if material shrinkage is affecting the fit.

- Once everything looks good, print the remaining test pieces to be sure your printer is dialled in.

If the vents do not slide properly into the wall, even when the size is correct, there might be small bits of plastic left inside the channel from overhangs or bridges.

To fix it, use a metal tool like a closed pair of scissors and run it through the slot from end to end.

Keep doing this until the path is clean and the tool moves freely. That should restore smooth movement.

UPDATE 0.7 09/06/2025 - NEW VENTS VERSION – CFS COMPATIBLE

FILE - [c]_x4_K1C_V3_VENTS_CFS_VERSION.STL

This updated part was designed for users who have the CFS system installed on their K1, K1C, or K1SE.

When the CFS is mounted, the printer loses about 5 mm of travel on the X axis. That means even if the original vents part fits on the build plate in the slicer, it will fail during printing because of that shift.

To fix this, I created a shorter version that stays within the usable print area.

The original design had a wider side flange, which helped seal the riser more effectively. Since that width is no longer possible with the CFS in place, this new version keeps just enough material to maintain a proper seal for materials like ASA or ABS.

UPDATE 0.1 16/05/2025 - NEW BACK WALL with FILAMENT SENSOR INVERTED

This version allows you to install the filament sensor upside down.

The sensor is not directional, so it works the same way when inverted. With this configuration, the cable connector is positioned at the bottom, which means you can use a much shorter cable.

/////RISER FEATURES

MOUNTING SYSTEM: The parts are secured together with Bolts and Inserts. The only glued part is the flap that closes the cut-out on the back of the LID.

VENTILATION: It has 360° ventilation, the highest ventilation I have ever designed in a riser.

EMBED LID: The LID is embedded in the frame, giving a cleaner look. Despite being embedded in the frame, the usable space inside the printer is the same as the V2 50mm [another of my projects].

HINGES: The hinges open 110° (allowing printing with the LID open) and have an inner flap that ensures alignment of the LID with the frame.

HANDLE: It has a handle (press-fit, but I have a version with a fixing tab for the LID if needed in the future).

LIGHTING UPGRADE: There is a predefined space for an LED strip. One of the inner corners has a fixation point for the wires if LEDs are installed.

FILAMENT SENSOR REPOSITIONING: Mounting points on the back wall to place the filament sensor inside the riser. One of the side wall parts has a hole for the PTFE tube.

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT: Fixation points on the back wall for the piece that allows adjusting the chain height.
