The Plan
The Plan
I recently bought a brand new 3D printer, a bambu labs p1p with AMS. The printer had a multitude of features but it came with one thing I didn't expect. I was set to attend RIT in fall of 2024 and 3D printers are not allowed in the dorms. I decided to design a shelf with mechanisms to hide and show the printer easily so I don't get caught with it.

This project had an extensive fabrication and assembly process. I decided to use 80/20 which I knew would require more thought to be put into the design to make it easy to assemble.

The final assembly happened in my dorm room in less than a day. I still haven't added the hardware but the shelf is functional nonetheless.

I spent multiple days searching for cheaper alternatives to my parts. My original design utilized bearings to move the polycarb but I saved over a hundred dollars by switching to delrin and re-designing many compoenents of the shelf.
