About this 3D model

Another wedge to lift the top glass of your Bambu printer when you need to vent for long prints. This one firmly holds the glass top in place, is quick/easy to put on and take off , and doesn't require assembly or supports . Lots of detail below, but the summary is that this clips onto the glass, then slides over around the handle, creating a firm grip that holds the glass up ~20mm (~¾"), creating a vent. It can clip onto the door handle when not in use (an accidental perk - thank you to the reviewers who discovered this!). You only need to print 1 single plate from 1 profile , but there are lots of options for individual preference and printers. - Tight Fit versions fit snugly around the glass and the handle. - Loose Fit versions have larger tolerances and should live up to their name. Each profile has 4 different designs inside, 1 per plate. The designs are just minor or visual differences and are up to your personal preference: - The handle adds a grip that makes it easier to pick up - The “center hole” is just aesthetic; it doesn't do anything differently - Simply pick your favorite design and print that single plate. Because multiple choices are bundled together, the filament usage and time estimates are wrong. The actual time and usage are about ¼ of those listed. How To Use - Lift the glass up - Clip the lifter on to the front of the glass to the right of the handle - Push it all the way forward - Slide it left until it stops against the handle (it's an intentionally snug fit) - Lower the glass back down “Locked” in place: Recommended Print Settings - Layer height: 0.20mm Standard - Wall loops: 3 - Infill: 15%, Cubic If printed standing on its right side, it shouldn't need supports or a brim (see pictures). The model should already be in this orientation when opening it. This printed well and feels very sturdy in PLA. I've also tested PETG and ASA successfully, but those aren't necessary. I'm open to feedback. Feel free to remix, but not sell. Update History 2024 -03-06: Adjusted width of the “screw channel” on the bottom lip to prevent the glass handle's screws from being in the way Added Tight Fit and Loose Fit options for those running into issues with the fit being too tight Changed numbers & arrows on top to engraved instead of embossed Reworked and cleaned up the original CAD design Minor visual changes 2024-02-11: Added a version that includes a grip and uploaded 2 profiles for it (center hole and solid). Made a minor change to the existing models to smooth out a sharp corner (no functional changes), and updated profiles. Updated photos and description. 2024-02-03: Description & picture revisions. No model changes. 2024-01-28 : Replaced the STLs with higher quality exports from the CAD software and updated the print profiles with them. There's no change to the design or functional geometry, but the curves look cleaner now. 2024-01-27: Initial upload.
