Storage built around the printer
I use a BLV X1C riser on another printer and wanted a similar arrangement for my Creality K1 Max. This project takes that visual inspiration and develops a top-mounted storage system around the K1 Max's own layout.
More than a raised lid
The design combines two front drawers for tools and spare parts with slots for additional build plates and the glass lid. A recess in the top is sized for a 5 by 6 Gridfinity base, and the design also incorporates four locating slots intended for a Creality CFS. These features bring several storage jobs into one assembly.
The CAD design brings two front drawers into the riser's body.
A modular printed assembly
The main riser is divided into six printed sections joined with dovetails. Four accessory mounting points around the sides allow attachments such as a spool holder, and a blank accessory base provides a starting point for other designs. The photographs show the riser installed on the printer, while the CAD views make the drawer arrangement easier to see.
The assembled riser adds storage above the K1 Max.
Refining the design through use
The project notes record a later TPU gasket update after the stored glass plate was observed moving during printing. It is a useful reminder that workshop use can reveal details worth improving after a part has been built. The riser brings several everyday storage needs together in one custom assembly.
