QidiQ2 Box Riser 70 mm Clearance with Side Cutouts

This is a modified version of the original riser, adapted to improve usability and access for my setup.

I increased the clearance to the glass plate to 70 mm, which makes it much easier to remove the glass panel. It also provides enough space to use a glass plate / lid holder, so the top glass does not need to be fully opened.

This helps hot air escape upward more efficiently with a chimney-like effect, while also reducing the chance of dust and debris entering the build chamber.

Changes in this remix

• 70 mm clearance for easier glass removal

• Support for a glass plate / lid holder

• Cutouts on the left side for access to the glass plate lock

• Side cutouts for the ventilation slot slider, so the vents remain easy to adjust

Installation

For my setup, I mounted the riser on a 16 mm wooden board (41x30cm) using 3 × 35 mm screws.
I also attached an LED strip to the underside for better illumination of the print area.
