3D Printer Tube Frame Stand

prusaprinters

<p>This tube frame stand allows you to place your 3D printer on other objects while lifting it up a bit. Another great benefit of this design is that the bigger top plate allows your 3D printer's feet to be further away from each other.</p> <p>To assemble this design, you will need the following parts:</p> <ul> <li>M4 nut (4x)</li> <li>M4 x 20 mm bolt (4x)</li> <li>400 x 461 mm top plate (I used multiplex for this)</li> <li>Side tubes - 253 mm (2x)</li> <li>Front &amp; rear tube - 411 mm (2x)</li> <li>Short cross tubes - 220 mm (2x)</li> <li><p>Long cross tube - 478 mm<br/> Here's a link to buy the mounting hardware you need (affiliate): <a href="https://bit.ly/2xf8XjG">link</a></p> <p>All of the tubes should be 13 x 1 mm in size. The material shouldn't matter, as long as it isn't too weak (for example, I wouldn't use PVC pipe). My pipes are made of aluminium.</p> <p>The final image shows how large the top plate needs to be and where you need to drill and counter sink the holes.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Support</strong><br/> If you want to support me for the designs I publish for free, please consider using my <a href="https://bit.ly/2XYWpHW">AliExpress Affiliate Link</a> when buying something from AliExpress. It doesn't cost you anything extra, but helps me out a lot :)</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printing Summary</h3> <p>This tube frame stand allows you to place your 3D printer on other objects while lifting it up a bit.
