4-way hinged baseplate

I required additional space beneath the printer for the heated bed power supply, and also to safely secure the power-brick in place for a more organized setup. This system with three pieces per foot allows for easy manual locking of the hinges and smooth opening/swinging from any four sides of the printer. All components are designed to be printed without support, although some filing may be necessary to ensure that the hinge and lever rotate smoothly. The lever snaps into 45-degree positions by simply bending a plastic octagon shape. Tape and cardboard can be used to make the wood fit tightly into the hinge and wood bracket pieces. The wooden baseplate is identical in dimensions to the outer dimensions of the 3D printer (such as the Ultimaker model).
