Why do you need this ?

When I got the K1C CFS System, that comes with a different Bowden setup and a modified Cable Chain, I had to cut up the model with a dremel to make it fit.

I was using the compact lid riser by Mikiilis, but in order to make that work, I had to use the Dremel and a bunch of drills to make it fit anyway.To give the lid some structure i had filed off the nodges and drilled 3.3mm holes for additional screws.

So- a dilemma: Do I keep using this hacked up version of the compact lid riser with that convenient lid that hinges to the left ?

I decided to rework the model in Solidworks and got to work...

Improvements:

- Maximized the space on the back so the Bowden tube can move freely.

- Perfect hinge fitment.

- Redesigned hinges to be stronger.

- This model uses the original magnets in the lid.

- All 4 corners are firmly screwed, goodby wobbliness

- Created better holes to fit M3 bolts without drilling.

- The bolts at the hinge side are countersunk and don't interfere with the lid anymore.

- The bolts at the other side are raised, to they align with the magnets in the lid.

- I fixed a bunch of cosmetic errors (probably due to importing the step file in solidworks).

- This thing can be used without making ANY modification to your printer. Just screw it in, and you're done

The file has been reworked completely in Solidworks, and perfectly fitted to my K1C. At least 1 spool of PLA was sacrified for you convience.

Tip: Use a clothes hanger as hingepins, or a carpenter's nail !

(or print your own cylinder: 2.50 mm diameter x 40mm)

What do you need to print for the RIGHT hinged model ?

1x Corner with Hinge (MIRROR ALONG THE Y-AXIS)

2x Generic Corner

1x Back Corner with Hinge

3x Long Insert

1x Short Insert

2x Universal Hinge (Reworked)

- Or use the the 3MF files which has everything layed out, including additional support for the weakest areas.

Assembly:

- I glued everything together with kafuter A/B Acrylic epoxy glue (Aliexpress, search for AB Glue)

- I used 2x M3x20 and 2x M3x16. round hex bolts. (Amazon for cheap)

- Do not overtighten the screws, you'll risk damaging the threads in the housing !
