About this model

Having acquired several build plates, I was wanting a way to hold them out of the way yet easy to access. This seemed like something that must have been done hundreds of times already, and it has, but I guess I'm picky and didn't find what I wanted. I did want a wall mount and I wanted a specific number of slots. Most of what I found was for other printers and I was not sure the size was right and many didn't come with source. It just turned out to be easier to build what I wanted from scratch. You can specify the width and number of slots. You can also tighten up the slots, I printed mine with plenty of space to the plates are not snug at all. The code should be sufficiently commented to figure out what to change. I printed with PLA 10% cubic infill. It seems plenty strong. Update: 10/8/2…
