Height extensions for KYZ HSW Display Stand - L

July 14, 2024
Description
Introduction
Soon after the release of the KYZ HSW Display Stand, many requests were made for a height extension to increase the storage area. This adds two sizes of extensions:
- 7 hex extension for an 165mm height increase
- 9 hex extension for a 212mm height increase
Please common sense in designing your tool board or display - don't put heavy things right at the top. Another base such as this Gridfinity Base may be a good idea as it's larger and can be weighed down with Gridfinity units. This connector upgrade may be useful to significantly reduce the overall flexibility of the board.
Materials
- Any stiff material (PLA/ABS/PETG, etc)
- Whilst PLA will be fine for general indoor use, be wary of using PLA if this will be in a hot car, or in the sun on a warm day (especially if it's a dark colour)
- (The red one in the photos is made with ABS)
Print settings
Tested with a 0.4mm nozzle. With this:
- If PETG - use 4 perimeters
- If PLA/ABS/ASA/PETG-CF/etc. - use 3 perimeters
- 4 bottom layers and 5 top layers
- Infill of your choice
- Print outer walls slowly for a strong part with consistent gloss level
- If your printer has an auxiliary fan, turn this off - the layer times are already high to ensure each layer is cooled before the next layer, and there are very few overhangs to worry about
- The rest is up to you
General precautions apply for printing large parts - ensure your build plate is clean (wash with hot water and dish soap and dry with a clean towel), add mouse-ears and/or apply some glue in the corners if you often have adhesion issues.
