Easily store 1 to 6 (or more - if you can get long enough screws) build plates of any size on any vertical or horizontal surface. The clips provided use #8 screws (with most head types), but if you have any interest in using the system with other screws, please let me know or modify the included Fusion360 file to support your needs.

No supports are required for the clips in any area (overhangs should be printable with almost any printer). Print in the orientation provided by the stls. 

 

There are a few interchangeable clips in the system:

Solo - a clip meant for storing a single build plate. Print as many as you need to support your plate in the orientation you want (see photos for examples). 

Expandable Clip Set:

Bottom - the bottom of a clip stack, which will hold 2 or more plates. Print 1 per stack and screw into the provided hole with countersink.

Middle - the middle of a clip stack, which will hold 2 or more plates. Print 1 or more per stack and screw into the provided hole with the countersink. Always print 1 less than the number of plates you want to store. If you want to store 2 plates, print 1. If you want to store 5 plates, print 4.

Top - the top of a clip stack, which will hold 2 or more plates. Print 1 per stack and place this clip nearest to the mounting surface. It will provide a slot close to the mounting surface for 1 plate.

 

 

Cheers!
