Description
If you have a Snapmaker U1 and you use an IKEA Samla or Walmart Sterilite box as a top cover this might be for you. This build plate holder should work with most of the top cover adapters out there. I even made extra high versions if your side blocks which hold the box in place are higher than the rim of box. You can store up to 4 build plates per side.
UPDATE 20260316: I added the files for the Walmart Sterilite box. Big thanks to Lasciel for the help designing these parts.
If you don't have a top cover yet you might take a look at mine:
Printing:
It is an easy print and no support is needed.
Assembly:
It should be a nice press fit and glue should not be needed. The IKEA parts are designed to interlock with the ribs in the rim (see pictures) so that they don't slide apart.
Please upload your make - I would love to see you prints!
