Description
My design file is parametric so if you need a minor change such as changing the height, the magnet size, or the diameter; please feel free to message me and I will post an alternate.
I have an official Xtool honeycomb bed but this design should work with other beds too. My bed has these magnetic disks roughly 29mm in diameter. I didn't have any wide magnets on hand for making new tall legs but i did have these smaller strong magnets. I designed this part to go around the existing feet.
Each foot will lift the bed by an inch and up to two lets can me stacked before the magnets have trouble holding everything.
The reason i needed these was because i put the extended legs on my Xtool so that i could engrave something thicker but then it was too tall for thin material. Unscrewing the legs seemed like too much trouble so instead i opted to spend several hours designing and printing these bed risers. In retrospect it might have been silly but i am sure the time savings will pay off in the long run.
My design currently uses 8mmx3mm round magnets. Each foot needs at least one magnet but if you intend to stack multiple feet then you will need to use two.
Print with atleast 3 walls and 20% infill. I personally printed with 4 and 50.
