Printing

Files

Each release includes the STL files and crimpdeq-platform.3mf, a Bambu Studio project with both plates laid out and the settings below applied. The project is set up for a Bambu Lab A1 with a 0.4 mm nozzle, Generic PETG and the textured PEI plate. Open it with File → Open Project, select your printer, filament and plate, and print.

Take all the parts from the same release, or they may not fit together.

Plates

The parts are exported already oriented for printing, so don’t rotate them. If you lay out the plates yourself, keep the parts at least 15 mm apart.

Per-object overrides:

ObjectOverride
grip, anchor, clips, keys100% infill
rest50% infill
base_front, base_rear4 top and 4 bottom layers

To save filament, the project also prints these lightly loaded zones sparser, using height range modifiers:

ObjectRangeInfill
base_front22.6–59.6 mm10%
rest11–29.5 mm15%
anchor0–11.5 mm40%

No part needs supports. Keep them off: they would scar the faces that the load-cell eyes and the palm rest bear on.

After printing, remove the brims and trim any flared first layer on the base halves’ joint faces and on the palm rest’s sole.
