Customizable Monitor Riser Stand- no wood

📢 Parametric Monitor Riser Stand - Fully Customizable

By Ritz Prints 3D

💡 Why I Created This Script

I had a spare piece of lumber lying around, and instead of cutting it down to fit a pre-made design, I decided to design risers that fit the wood I already had. I also prefer the natural wood finish, as you can see in the images.

But I realized that not everyone has access to the same lumber sizes—so I created this fully parametric script that lets you:
✅ Print just the risers if you already have a piece of wood.
✅ Generate and print the risers + lumber together for a 100% 3D-printed version.
✅ Customize everything—height, width, cutout patterns, and more!

The default settings in the script will generate a riser identical in size to the one I printed using my spare lumber.

I’ve also included a print profile that pre-cuts the model with pegs for easy assembly after printing.

🎛 How to Adjust the Script for Your Needs

This script is fully parametric, meaning you can adjust the dimensions and features to fit your exact setup.

🛠 How to Use This Script

🔹 Option 1: Using Pre-Cut Lumber (Print Only the Risers)

If you already have a piece of lumber, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Set generate_lumber = false; in the script.
2️⃣ Print two risers (left and right).
3️⃣ Slide your existing piece of lumber into the cutout.
4️⃣ Secure the assembly with screws (optional).

👉 This is exactly how I built mine! If you like the natural wood finish, this is the best option.

🔹 Option 2: Fully 3D-Printed Riser (Generate Lumber + Risers)

If you want to print the entire riser, including the lumber:
1️⃣ Set generate_lumber = true;
2️⃣ Export the STL file from OpenSCAD.
3️⃣ Split the STL into separate objects (because each riser + the lumber need to be printed separately).

• In Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer, right-click the STL and select "Split into Parts" or "Split Objects"
  4️⃣ Print each part individually.
  5️⃣ Assemble the riser by inserting the lumber between the risers.

👉 Now, you have a fully 3D-printed monitor riser! No wood needed!

🛑 What If the Parts Are Too Big for Your Build Plate?

If your printer can’t fit the risers or lumber in one print, you can cut the model into smaller pieces and use connectors (pegs) to assemble them.

🔹 How to Cut Large Models in Bambu Studio (or PrusaSlicer)

1️⃣ Import the STL into Bambu Studio.
2️⃣ Select the object, then go to "Model" > "Cut"
3️⃣ Cut the model into smaller sections that fit your printer’s build volume.
4️⃣ Before confirming the cut, enable pegs/holes to ensure the pieces align properly after printing.

• Check "Add alignment pins" in the cut menu.
  5️⃣ Export the new, smaller pieces and print them separately.
  6️⃣ Once printed, assemble the pieces using the pegs and glue or screws for extra strength.

👉 I’ve included a pre-cut version with pegs to help users with smaller build plates!

📌 Final Tips

✅ Customize everything—height, width, patterns, and screw holes.
✅ Use cutout patterns for aesthetics or ventilation.
✅ Experiment with different lumber thicknesses to fit your setup.
✅ For extra strength, print in PLA+, PETG, or ASA at higher infill settings.
