4-way hinged baseplate

thingiverse

The Extender allows extra space under the Ultimaker printer for a power supply brick and an additional heated bed power supply. It utilizes a four-way locking hinge system, which enables users to open the cover from any side without needing additional hardware. This design includes three components per foot and allows for straightforward manual locking of the hinges and effortless opening or swinging from all four sides of the printer. All printed parts are designed to be self-supporting. Minor filing may be necessary to remove plastic drippings so that the hinge and lever rotate smoothly. The lever easily locks into 45-degree positions by slightly bending a molded octagon shape. Adhesive tape and cardboard can be used to ensure a tight fit of the wood within the hinge and wooden bracket pieces. The Extender's wooden baseplate measures the same as the outer dimensions of the Ultimaker printer, ensuring a precise and compatible design.
