Perfect base unit for single P1S

If you’re a single-machine user like me, then IKEA has your perfect base unit - the STORKLINTA bedside table. The P1S fits perfectly, with just the right amount of space behind it for the reel-box cardboard poop-chute to sit.

No, no shares in IKEA… :slight_smile:

I found a cheap cabinet on Amazon. It has a 5"ish high drawer, and two lower doors where two shelves are. Great storage for filament, in its box.

I also cut a 16" square 3/8" plywood piece, and screwed it to a 14 Lazy Susan turntable ring. Now I can pivot the printer 45" each direction, when I am not standing directly in front of it. Plus, easy to work on the back when I need to, without back strain.

This cabinet is called Malm in the EU stores.

I use IKEA Hyllis metal shelves for my office setup, I zip-tie them together to form a continuous, solid shelving unit. They’re a useful size and extremely cheap (AU$15 in Australia, but somehow US$20 in the IKEA US store lol).

I zip-tied two of the short ones back-to-back to form a deep shelf about 60 x 55 cm, then got a 60 x 40 cm paver from the hardware store to put the P1S on top of. Plenty of space around the printer.

I just purchased three of these and we now have our dining room back! Extra excited about the extra storage space and drawers where I can store filament rolls and tools. Thank you for the suggestion!
