Design X1/P1/A1 & A1 Mini Build Plate Holder for IKEA Skadis with side loading
- Build plate holder designed for
- Fitting IKEA Skadis system
- Easy access of build plates via side loading, especially fitted for areas with vertical constraints (loading from the top is still possible)
- 2 versions available for loading from either the left or right side
- Visually appealing light weight design
- Fits up to 5x build plates (compatible with X1/P1/A1/A1 Mini build plates)
- Slight incline of internal guiding grooves (0.2° which is not really visible) to ensure plates are staying in place
- Part of a design line: Smaller twin leveraging the same design language available for A1 Mini build plates (Link)
- Tested print profile
- Requires easy-to-remove supports (I had to play quite a lot with the supports in the Skadis hook area, print profile is optimized for a consistently working solution)
- Print profile optimized for functionally and aesthetically great results (3 walls, slow consistent speed, PLA); recommended to keep flow rate <11 mm3/s
- On the large surfaces there can be minor defects which can be easily sanded out. A drop of oil (e.g., I use Ballistol) afterwards makes a perfect surface.
