Creality K1 / K1C Unibody Riser Frame

I love the design of the Creality K1 printers. The unibody frame with the beveled edges and corners is just awesome. There are already a lot of risers for this printer out there, but this one extends the original frame of the K1 / K1C. When painted in the same color as the frame your printer will look like taller version of the K1/K1C. This frame still fits the original cover but I'm planning to replace it with a glass plate. I never really liked the looks of the original cover. Initially I got a lot of positive reactions on this riser. And I really enjoy seeing the makes posted here. It is amazing to realize that it is used all over the world. After the initial release I continued to improve the model. I made parts fit just a little bit better together, make them stronger and make it look better on the inside as well. I made an optional part with hinges for the original lid. Updates 2024-10-20: Parts do not need to be glued anymore. You can now just slide the parts together. For a strong connection you can use threaded inserts to screw the parts securely together. The design has changed. The lid now rests deeper within the frame which makes it look a lot nicer. 100% compatiblible with the plates for the previous version. It is now possible to add LED strips as well. Update 2024-07-14: New version that is 15 mm taller. Option: Hinges for the standard lid are now available: https://www.printables.com/model/921463-creality-k1-k1c-unibody-riser-hinges 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Option: Plates with a hexagon pattern and optional CREALITY logo: https://www.printables.com/model/913077-unibody-extention-hexagon-plates 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media My advice is to print the object upside down. This way you do not need much supports: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media You can add LED strips: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media
