Kobra S1 Slim Riser with LED lighting

Following my popular S1 Combo Flip Riser here, this is a riser only version so you can enjoy the rest of features below, without ACE pro.

This model is 12mm high on top of a S1 printer. You will need just 193g of filament for all parts.  

7/02/2025:

• I released a new light bar that goes with this riser, click here to view the photos of better lighting at print head.

Key Features:

•  Slim Design: my minimal design not just saves material and printing time, but requires minimal space on top
•  Top Panel Sliding and Tilting for Ventilation: this model support stable backward sliding or tilt up as preferred 
•  Raised Touchscreen: it is easier to do maintenance as the touchscreen can fold flat and is not in your way
•  LED light Mounting: the LED mount is designed to illuminate downward to prevent glaring
•  Accessory Attachment: the side rails allow you to attach printer accessories such as external spool holder, side panel, etc. 
•  Side Spool Mount: this model includes a folding side spool mount as example to encourage other attachment designs
•  Secure Mounting: this riser is designed to use permanently attached to the printer using screws to provide stable base for side attachments
•  Cable Management: the groove at the back left corner helps LED light strip power cable routing 
• No Support Printing: this model is designed for easy printing without support
• No Damage Assembly: this model does not require any additional hole for attachment

Printing Suggestion:

• My original 3mf profile includes print settings that I tested and confirmed
• PLA/PLA+ is recommended 
• If you choose to use other materials such as PETG, make sure to account for shrinkage as it may not fit and not assemble/function properly
