K1 Riser with controllable vents and Hygrometer/Temp' support

Feb 17 2025 update :- An error with the button assembly was brought to my attention today. There was no hole where there should have been one on one of the button tops. I've done a quick fix and re uploaded with the new button replacing the defective one. There are 3 files for the buttons. A single full button assembly, another with 2 button assemblies and a final with 3 button assemblies. I also added 2 temporary files that just cover the affected buttons without needing to print stuff you don't need for those who already printed the previous sets.

NOTE:- If you intend to keep the rubber strip that is already affixed to the printer frame (where the glass rests normally), then fitting the shallow corners in place while retaining the rubber strip can take a lot of brute force. There is an alternate corner piece (marked as deep) in the file set. The only difference between the shallow and deep corners is the aperture size where the corner meets the frame. Use the one that fits your requirements. Shallow if not using the stock printer rubber strip or deep if you are keeping the rubber strip in place. Both versions will still mesh perfectly with the connecting side pieces.

Riser for the K1. Optional Hygrometer support by using the front panel with a cutout for a 50/30mm Hygrometer/Temperature unit.  This panel can be replaced with one of the side panel prints to have all 4 sides vented without the Hygro'/Temp' option.

I'd already created a K1 Max variant so adjusting it down to the smaller K1 felt like an easy thing to do. It turned out to be harder than I expected. 

I don't have a K1 to show completed prints and showing the K1 Max images felt wrong. So only renders for this one until someone else shares a make.

I suggest printing the main side and rear panels at a minimum 40 percent infill as adding internal sliders made for thin walls of around 1.5mm in places. I did beef them up in other areas and they are more than strong enough for the task they are for.

The internal slider piece for the 8 vent panel is patterned on one side and blank on the other to allow for a different look depending which way around you fit them. Print flat, it is not structural so 25  percent infill or above is fine.

The vented side Panels need no support where the slider itself fits inside, the upper part of the slider channel is a triangular cut that is easily handed by a K series printer (getting support out of there would have been an absolute nightmare). The vent openings however ‘Do need support, as does the cutout in the rear panel’.

Corner pieces also need support for the lower ‘clip in’ segments.

Switch components are in 3 pieces. Main button, shaft, rear button. There are complete sets for printing a single complete switch, Two and Three switches in stl files that are already in the correct print orientation.

All main panels are printed in the orientation they will be used in.

After clipping the corners in place, adding the front/side/rear panels will lock the completed assembly in place on the printer.

Although this is a remix, a lot of work went into getting this how I wanted it.

Last note:- 

This was my first large print in ASA and I had a few initial issues with warping and first layers. As a stopgap I added some extra mouse ears and the like to my final print files before finally sorting the actual problem I was having with initial layer adhesion on my printer. One of those semi modded parts slipped through the net (it's the front panel of this set). There is a .4 filler added at the bottom of the channel where it meets the bed (this helped my K1 Max better print the bottom first layer). After printing, snap that bit out so the channel is clear from top to bottom. I used needle nose pliers for that on my prints.

Added vents option. Lock down holes for the corners to the panels. Hygrometer/Temperature support. Blocker at rear.
