4-way hinged baseplate

Extended space underneath printer for power supply. Four-way locking hinge system allows opening from any side without extra hardware.

Commercial use is allowed, you must attribute the creator, you may remix this work and the remixed work should be made available under this license.

I needed extra space under the printer for the heated bed power supply, and also to securely put the power-brick in for tidiness.

This system with three pieces per foot allows simple manual locking of the hinges and opening/swinging from any four sides of the printer.

All parts are designed to print without support.

Some filing may be necessary so the hinge and lever rotate nicely.

The lever snaps into 45 degree positions by slightly bending a plastic octagon shape.

Tape and cardboard may be necessary to make the wood fit tightly into the hinge and woodbracket pieces.

The wooden baseplate is the same dimensions as the outer dimensions of the 3D printer (Ultimaker in this case).

Issues are used to track todos, bugs or requests. To get started, you could create an issue.
