Introducing 

This module is part of the "Leaf" project, which is currently under development, and will include specific modules for the latest versions of Mk series of PRUSA printers.

Description

This design aligns with the overarching concept of the "Storage Tree" project, ensuring visual coherence and compatibility between components, whether utilized collectively or independently. Here, I present a solution tailored to the storage needs of flexible steel sheets for your Prusa printers

The design offers flexibility through interchangeable base components, allowing for various configurations to suit individual preferences. Notably, the base can serve as an informational hub, providing guidance on optimal build plate selections and other pertinent details. The accompanying visual showcases a selection of potential setups, with certain configurations exclusively accessible to members of the my club on printables.com.

The materials

The material I recommend is PETG or PLA for the main parts, but the module features elements crafted from flexible materials, FLEX or TPU (being shown at green color), dampening vibrations, and providing a gentle touch in the support area for the Flexible Steel Sheets. This not only ensures stability and durability but also enhances user experience by delivering a seamless interaction with the storage system. By incorporating flexible materials into the design, results in a storage solution that harmoniously balances form and function.

Variations

Some options that you can see below are available exclusively for members of my club. If any catch your interest, don't hesitate to grab them. For just $5, you'll gain access to all my work.
