D3P RISER FOR K2 Plus by Darren 3d Print
Having designed a number of risers, I wanted one that offered it all, was modular for customization and also could be easily upgraded in the future. The result is my D3P riser system.
The D3P riser system is an innovative and modular riser system for your 3d printer. It features numerous free to download add-ons allowing you to customize your printer and riser like you want. The design of the D3P riser system is patent pending.
FEATURES
Features of the D3P riser system:
• Front and side adjustable vents;
• Add-on extensions for dual CFS units, single or dual Space Pi dryers;
• Innovative COB LED channels that feature brackets to secure the LEDS in place;
• Top unit is set back to allow easy access to the printer from the top;
• Sturdy and reinforced construction and design to prevent sagging;
• Foldable add-on lid handle to prop the lid open;
• Two large storage drawers with gridfinity style drawer inserts;
• Integrated build plate holder for two build plates;
• Integrated lid holders;
• Multiple add-ons such as a modular tool tray, interchangeable external spool holder and more to come;
• Detailed pdf instructions with pictures and steps;
• Printing requires little or no support.

A patent has been filed for the D3P riser design and it is patent pending. I thank you for your understanding.
ADD-ONS
The model features a number of add-ons that are free to download on Creality Cloud. Please see the "Add-on" section on the model page:

I will be adding to these so be sure to check back from time to time.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
For the base riser:
Filament: 3.3 kg
Approximate print time: 3 days 12h
Height with closed CFS unit: 109 cm (43 inches)
Height with open CFS unit: 127 cm (50 inches)
PRINT SETTINGS
IMPORTANT I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing.
EACH BUILD PLATE HAS THE TYPE OF SUPPORT REQUIRED INDICATED ON THE BUILD PLATE DESCRIPTION (TREE AUTO, TREE MANUAL OR NO SUPPORT).
I strongly recommended you use my print setting file. If not, I will not be able to assist you if there is an issue when printing. From experience, many of the issues with printing my models are on account of users not using my print settings.
CHANGELOG
If there are any changes to the STL files or print settings I will list them here. I recommend looking at this section prior to printing as it is the only way I can inform users of changes.
3D PRINT SETTINGS
I use the following settings and materials to print this model:
Infill % : 15% (no need for more)
Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm
Layer height: 0.2 mm standard
Material: I am often asked the question about the riser deforming when using PLA when printing ABS or ASA. I prefer PLA since it cheaper to purchase and easier to print. I print all my risers in PLA but I seldom print in ASA or ABS. I have some users that printed in PETG and some in ABS. Both will also work providing your printer can maintain tolerances. PETG may be preferable if you intend on printing higher temp materials on a regular basis.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTRUCTIONS
A detailed instruction and assembly guide with steps and pictures is available for download. It is the last file in the “File” section – you may need to click expand all a few times to reach it.
TROUBLESHOOTING
All parts and the assembly have been tested multiple times (both printing and assembly).
• Make sure your build properly cleaned and free of grease and oils before printing. This is the cause of adhesion.
• Make sure you use my print profiles/settings (the .3mf file that has multiple plates with all the parts) and that you enable support as indicated for each build plate on the build plate description.
• Filament and printer will affect tolerances however all should fit. If unsure proceed slowly and cautiously.
• If there are any changes I list them in a changelog on the model page. Please have a look at it prior to printing in the event there are any changes.
I am available to assist with any issues with this model.
